[[File:SMO Tropical Kingdom Koopa Race.jpg|thumb|250px|Mario and the Roving Racers participating in Koopa Freerunning]]
'''Koopa Freerunning''' is a [[minigame]] featured in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Upon the player completing the main story, a [[Koopa Troopa]] wearing a green hat appears in the various kingdoms and challenges [[Mario]] to a race against him and three other Koopa Troopas (red, blue, and purple—known as the [[Roving Racers]]) across the kingdom's landscape for a [[Power Moon]]; these races are known as Regular Cups. The kingdom's landscape often changes to how it was before the kingdom's [[Multi Moon]]s were collected during the race, such as the [[Snow Kingdom]] being under a blizzard and the [[Seaside Kingdom]] being in the daytime. Upon Mario destroying the respective kingdom's [[Moon Rock]] and clearing the Regular Cup, the purple Koopa Troopa is replaced with a [[Gold Koopa|Golden Koopa]], who is much smarter than the other racers and uses advanced shortcuts and techniques; these races are known as Master Cups and award another Power Moon. Mario and the Roving Racers can [[capture]] enemies in their environment to speed themselves up; however, the Roving Racers rapidly spin inside their shells and move rather than possess the enemy. After collecting both Power Moons from a specific race, Mario can keep racing to beat his high scores; every time Mario beats the Golden Koopa afterwards, the Koopa Troopa awards 50 to 100 [[coin]]s depending on the kingdom in which the race takes place. The Roving Racers appear in every kingdom besides the [[Cloud Kingdom]], [[Ruined Kingdom]], [[Dark Side]], and [[Darker Side]].

Next to the Koopa Troopa who starts the race is a [[Rankings Board]] for the race, which shows global and friend leaderboards for all of the minigames when the player is connected to the Internet.


Unlike many other supporting characters, Koopa Troopa is fearless when approached by an captured enemy by Mario and will reply ''''I don't have time to deal with this!''''
