'''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.
