However, not all Koopas are allied with Bowser. Some Koopas, such as the Koopa Troopas of [[Koopa Village]], live peacefully inside the borders of the Mushroom Kingdom, while others, such as [[Koopa the Quick]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and the [[Roving Racers]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', simply hold no allegiance and operate independently. | However, not all Koopas are allied with Bowser.

Koopas are named from [[Koopa (Bowser's species)|the species]] that [[Bowser]] belongs to due to an inconsistency in localization.

'''Koopa Troopas''' (often shortened to plain '''Koopas''' and occasionally to '''Troopas''') are common enemies in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. Koopa Troopas are usually displayed as foot soldiers of Bowser's Minions under his direct leadership. They typically have no special offensive abilities, rather simply walking forwards slowly. Usually, jumping on them causes them to retreat into their [[Koopa Shell|shell]]s, though sometimes they may be removed from their shells instead. Either way, shells can be kicked, causing them to slide along the ground and bounce off walls, or carried around for use elsewhere. Throughout the ''Super Mario'' franchise, Koopa Troopas have walked on four legs or two legs. Since their debut in ''Super Mario Bros.'', Koopa Troopas have appeared in almost every game in the franchise, usually as enemies, but also as playable characters in numerous spin-offs. | '''Koopa Troopas''' (often shortened to plain '''Koopas''' and occasionally to '''Troopas''') are common enemies in the ''Super Mario'' franchise.

'''Koopa Paratroopas''' are winged versions of Koopa Troopas that either fly or hop. Attacking them causes them to lose their wings and become normal Koopa Troopas. They have several variations, and also served as the inspiration for several other winged enemies in the series, like [[Paragoomba]]s and [[Para-Beetle]]s. | '''Koopa Paratroopas''' are winged versions of Koopa Troopas that either fly or hop.

'''Dry Bones''' are skeletal Koopa Troopas that fall apart when stomped rather than retreat into a shell. Similar to Koopa Troopas exiting their shells after a while, Dry Bones reconstruct themselves, being invulnerable while as a bone pile. They are usually immune to fire. Many "bone" enemies in later games were inspired by them, like [[Bony Beetle]]s and [[Bone Piranha Plant]]s. | '''Dry Bones''' are skeletal Koopa Troopas that fall apart when stomped rather than retreat into a shell.

'''Hammer Bros.''' (or '''Hammer Brothers''') are a type of Koopa that stand upright, wear helmets (and later shoes as well), and throw hammers at passerby. There are various similar Koopas who throw other objects at their opponents, such as the [[Boomerang Bro]]s., [[Ice Bro]]s., and the [[Fire Bro]]s. Many of these Koopas have similar shell patterns, color-coded by type: Hammer Bros. wear green armor, Fire Bros. wear red, Boomerang Bros. wear blue, Ice Bros. wear light blue, etc.; and beaks that are lighter in color than the rest of their face. | '''Hammer Bros.'''

'''Lakitus''' are goggled Koopas who are usually seen riding clouds through the skies. Unlike most Koopas, they do not have snouts or beaks, but flat faces with round noses. Their shells are also unique in their circular patterning. To attack, Lakitus typically throw unlimited numbers of [[Spiny Egg]]s at their opponents. They are also often seen with fishing poles, especially in spinoff games. | '''Lakitus''' are goggled Koopas who are usually seen riding clouds through the skies.

Most examples of them are specific named characters rather than generic enemies.

They wear glasses and wizard's garb: typically blue robes and hats, though Magikoopas specializing in different forms of magic sport different colors.

The '''turtles''' in ''[[Wario World]]'' closely resemble [[Shellcreeper]]s, and their Japanese name (「ノッコー」, ''Nokkō'') is similar to and likely based on that of [[Koopa Troopa]]s' (「ノコノコ」, ''Nokonoko''). They act quite different, however, protecting themselves by encasing themselves in ice. | The '''turtles''' in ''[[Wario World]]'' closely resemble [[Shellcreeper]]s, and their Japanese name (「ノッコー」, ''Nokkō'') is similar to and likely based on that of [[Koopa Troopa]]s' (「ノコノコ」, ''Nokonoko'').

The '''Broodals''' are a group of rabbit-like creatures who have similar designs to the [[Koopa (Bowser's species)|Koopa]]s that [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopalings]] belong to - in fact, multiple conceptual designs had them being that species instead. In particular, their boss [[Madame Broode]] has similar features to Bowser himself. Additionally, they use their hats in a similar manner to how many Koopas (particularly the Koopalings) use their shells, retracting into them and spinning after being attacked. | The '''Broodals''' are a group of rabbit-like creatures who have similar designs to the [[Koopa (Bowser's species)|Koopa]]s that [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopalings]] belong to - in fact, multiple conceptual designs had them being that species instead.
