|tattle=-'''Spinning Tower''': The Koopa Bros. have formed a tall Koopa tower! I'm not sure about this... They do a spinning attack with the whole gang piled high atop one another. Hit 'em with a Hammer or something to make 'em unstable. After that, any attack should knock 'em down. If you use an explosion, you can make 'em fall down at once. If you flip 'em over, the battle will nearly be ours! Beat 'em one by one! <br>- '''Red''': He's the Koopa Bros. leader.<br>- '''Black''': Black is pretty fashionable... <br>- '''Yellow''': Yellow reminds me of curry. Isn't that a weird thing to think of in the middle of a battle? <br>- '''Green''': He looks exactly the same as a normal Koopa Troopa. <br>- '''General description for all''': He has a little bit of defense power, but you can turn him over by jumping on him, just like a normal Koopa Troopa. Let's flip him over quick! Otherwise, the Bros. may form a tower and do their famous spinning attack! | |||

The '''Koopa Bros.''' are a quartet of costumed ninja [[Koopa Troopa]]s; they are followers of [[Bowser]] and his [[Koopa Troop]]. The Koopa Bros. consist of '''Green Ninjakoopa''', '''Yellow Ninjakoopa''', '''Black Ninjakoopa''' and the leader, '''Red Ninjakoopa'''. They are all egotistical and obsessed with being cool, though they have a great deal of respect for Bowser and each other. | |||
It is mentioned by several characters throughout ''[[Paper Mario]]'' that the Koopa Bros. were originally inhabitants of [[Koopa Village]], apparently living in it around the same time as [[Kent C. Koopa]]. Eventually, the Koopa Bros. grew tired of Koopa Village, finding its serene environment and lack of excitement boring. The Koopa Bros. eventually left Koopa Village and traveled to [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] (which was apparently then in ruin), whose [[Bob-omb]]s they seemingly befriended. | |||

The Koopa Bros. eventually became conceited and corrupted due to the influence of Bowser and [[Kammy Koopa]], who had taken a liking to them. Enslaving the Bob-ombs inhabiting Koopa Bros. Fortress (which they seemingly then rebuilt), the Koopa Bros. worked them non-stop, and if they rebelled, imprisoned them. When Bowser stole the wish-granting [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] and imprisoned the [[Star Spirits]], the Koopa King entrusted the elder Star Spirit, [[Eldstar]], to the Koopa Bros. | |||
==='' | ==History== | ||
===''Super Mario-Kun=== | |||
Prior to their appearance in ''Paper Mario'', the Koopa Bros. appeared in ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'', a Japan-exclusive manga. In their first appearance in ''Super Mario-Kun'', the Koopa Bros. appeared to attack Mario, [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]] in a platform-filled area, taking on various disguises and utilizing shell-like shurikens in combat. The Koopa Bros. later appeared in the ''Paper Mario'' adaptation of ''Super Mario-Kun''. | |||
[[ | |||
[[File: | ===''Paper Mario=== | ||
[[File:Koopabros1.png|thumb|The Koopa Bros. introduce themselves.]] | |||
The Koopa Bros. first appeared in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' in [[Princess Peach's Castle]], where they reassure both Kammy Koopa and Bowser that they could stop Mario, and also show them a technique, which impresses Bowser; the Koopa Bros. are later sent running from Princess Peach's Castle after informing Bowser that they did not actually post someone to guard the captured Eldstar, a show of incompetence and lack of thought which infuriates the Koopa king. | |||
[[File:Superspinningattack.png|thumb|left|The Koopa Bros. about to use their ''Super Spinning Attack'' on Mario.]] | |||
At first, the Koopa Bros. simply attempt to stop Mario from reaching [[Pleasant Path]] and their fortress by disguising themselves as dark colored [[Toad (species)|Toads]] and blocking the path to those locations, saying that dangers lurked there. With help from [[Merlon]], who sees through the Koopa Bros.' disguise, Mario is able to cause them to retreat. The Koopa Bros. attempt to impede Mario's progress in Pleasant Path as well, creating various obstacles and having various minions patrol the area. | |||
In | When Black Ninjakoopa finds that Mario and his allies have reached Koopa Bros. Fortress, he alerts his brothers and they proceed to set about making various traps and obstacles in their home, all of which Mario passes. In a last-ditch effort to stop Mario, Red Ninjakoopa has his brothers set up three [[Bill Blaster]]s on top of the fortress, which Mario likewise manages to overcome. Reaching the Koopa Bros. at last, Mario, before he can fight the Bros. themselves, has to battle their creation, a poorly constructed [[Bowser???|facsimile of Bowser]]. When their fake Bowser is destroyed, the Koopa Bros. attack Mario using a whirling tower attack. Regardless, Mario still defeats them, sending them tumbling into the prison of their own fortress, incapable of escaping. | ||
[[File: | [[File:Koopa Bros. Revenge.png|thumb|100px|The picture seen next to the [[letter]] sent by the Koopa Bros. after their defeat.]] | ||
After the Koopa Bros. defeat, a letter from them meant for Mario can be found at [[Mario's House]]; the letter is filled with threats uttered by them at Mario, with the Koopa Bros. swearing revenge on him. Also, for a short while after their defeat, the Koopa Bros. are found in the prison of their fortress. However, if Mario visits it later, they are gone, indicating that they managed to escape. | |||

The Koopa Bros. later appear at Bowser's Castle under the employ of the castle's third [[Guard Door]]; the Koopa Bros., who claim to have become stronger (even renaming themselves "the '''Super Ultra Mighty Koopa Bros. the Great'''") prepare to fight Mario when [[Jr. Troopa]] appears and simply knocks them aside easily. | |||
During the ending parade of ''Paper Mario'', the Koopa Bros. appear riding a float built from the remains of their old Bowser construct. As the Koopa Bros. strike a pose, several Bob-ombs appear and explode near them, covering them in soot. | |||

It is interesting to note that Green Ninjakoopa is one of the few battle-friendly Green Koopa Troopas in all of the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]], save for the Green Koopa Troopas of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' (which even allowed normal green Koopa Troopas to be fought in its [[The Bitlands]] area). He also appears to be the last-in-command of the Koopa Bros. | |||
