Koopa Paratroopa commonly appear in two varieties: Red Koopa Paratroopas usually fly up and down in a set path, while Green Koopa Paratroopas often bounce in the player's general direction or fly back and forth. Koopa Paratroopas lose their wings if [[stomp]]ed, turning them into regular Koopa Troopas. Koopa Paratroopas are playable in various spin-off games, most of them wearing a red shell. Their name is a corruption of "paratrooper", a term used in the military to describe soldiers who parachute down to attack.

| Koopa Paratroopas appear in ''Super Mario Bros.'' They are depicted in green and red varieties, the former appearing teal in underground and castle [[level]]s. Red Koopa Paratroopas that always move vertically are first encountered in [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-3]], while the green type is first encountered in [[World 2-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-1]]. These ones either bounce around or fly in a horizontal direction.

| Koopa Paratroopas return in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. They are depicted in the same varieties as before. Green Koopa Paratroopas are first encountered in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 1-1]], while the red type debuts in [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 1-3]]. Koopa Paratroopas are encountered in some of the underwater levels, with the green type appearing gray in the [[Family Computer Disk System]] release due to the hardware palette. Koopa Paratroopas are also in levels where jumping from them is required to make it across [[pit]]s. All green Koopa Paratroopas hop, except for those encountered in [[World 7-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 7-3]].

| Koopa Paratroopas return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are depicted in green and red varieties. Koopa Paratroopas are first encountered in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-1]]. They are have little difference from before. The game adds large variants, [[Big Koopa Paratroopa|Colossal Koopa Paratroopa]]s, and the [[P-Wing]], a wing of a Koopa Paratroopa that fills the [[P-Meter|Power Meter]] for one level.

They are depicted with the same two varieties plus a yellow variety, though there is no blue type corresponding to the blue Koopa Troopas; every Koopa Paratroopa is upright instead of quadrupedal, like Koopa Troopas. Koopa Paratroopas all wear Mario masks during [[Fall]], like with Koopa Troopas. Koopa Paratroopas are first encountered in [[Yoshi's Island 3]]. Green Koopa Paratroopas either jump in a horizontal direction, at varying heights, or fly in a direction. Red-shelled Koopa Paratroopas have a few more actions, sometimes now flying in a programmed left to right pattern or continuously in either direction. Yellow Koopa Paratroopas walk like Koopa Troopas while jumping over shells in front and chasing the player character. Jumping on them gets rid of their wings and turn them into regular yellow-shelled Koopas. Any Koopa Paratroopa is defeated instantly if [[stomp]]ed by [[Yoshi]].

| | This is a Paratroopa. No surprise here--Paratroopas are Koopa Troopas with wings. When you jump on 'em or use a POW Block, their wings fall off and they become normal Koopa Troopas. It's easy to beat 'em once they're normal Koopa Troopas. Give 'em another Jump attack! They think they're pretty cool because they wear sunglasses, but they're not that tough. |

| |
| Koopa Paratroopas return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They appear in green and red varieties. Koopa Paratroopas are first encountered in [[World 1-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-4]]. Both types can bounce towards players and fly. Koopa Paratroopas are unresponsive to [[paah|bah]] sounds.

| |
| Koopa Paratroopas return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They appear in green and red varieties. Koopa Paratroopas are first encountered in [[World 1-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-4]]. They can sometimes appear in the boss fight against [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] hitting platform units with his magic. Koopa Paratroopas are responsive to the background music, like before. Besides player characters, Koopa Paratroopa also loses its wings if stomped by Yoshi, unlike ''Super Mario World''. A Koopa Paratroopa is defeated from a [[Ground Pound]] instantly.
| |
|

| ====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
| | That's a Koopa Paratroopa. Well, umm... It's basically a Koopa Troopa with |
| Paratroopas return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They appear in green and red varieties. Paratroopas are first encountered in [[World 1-3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-3]]. Green Paratroopas have the ability to move in circles.
| | wings. I kinda hate that this guy gets to fly. Of course, you can stomp on him and he'll plunge down and be a plain Koopa Troopa. Yeah, do that, and he's ours! Stomp again to flip him, and his arms and legs are useless! Oops! Sorry, that's not true. It looks like he can still wiggle them around a bit... |
|
| |
|
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U''==== | | ===Dark Paratroopa=== |
| Paratroopas return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|their port]]. They appear in green and red varieties. Paratroopas are first encountered in [[Stone-Eye Zone]] of ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and [[Dancing Blocks, Poison Swamp]] of ''New Super Luigi U''. Paratroopas behave no differently than before.
| | HP: 8, Attack: 4, Defense: 2 |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
| | This is a Dark Paratroopa. It lives in dark, damp places. It's strong, but otherwise just like other Paratroopas. It's airborne, so try to ground it first. |
| {{main|Parabones}}
| |
| Paratroopas do not appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' nor ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', though a skeletal variety, [[Parabones]], was added. | |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario Maker'' series==== | | ===KP Paratroopa=== |
| Koopa Paratroopas are course elements in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its port]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They appear in green and red varieties. Koopa Paratroopas are created by combining a [[Koopa Troopa]] with a pair of [[wings]]. Both variants behave similar to how they did in ''Super Mario Bros.'', with green Paratroopas leaping endlessly in a zig-zag pattern, and the red type flying up and down. Koopa Paratroopas become [[Big Koopa Paratroopa]]s if given a [[Super Mushroom]].
| | HP: 4, Attack: 2, Defense: 1 |
|
| |
|
| In ''Super Mario Maker 2'', Koopa Paratroopas can be given a parachute; stomping on one will get rid of both the parachute and the wings at once. If a red Paratroopa with a parachute lands on ground, it will fly upwards slightly lower than Paratroopas placed on that same elevation. Because most enemies can still be given wings in the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style, Paratroopas can be placed there, with green ones in particular getting determined looks on their faces and shown to be scuttling their feet while jumping.
| | That's a KP Paratroopa. It's a Koopa Paratroopa of a different color. Its attacks are the same as your average, garden-variety Koopa Paratroopa. So, just do the same thing as always: stomp on it, flip it, and drop its Defense to 0. My Headbonk is pretty effective against it, too. Come on! Let's get him! |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario Run''==== | | ===Shady Paratroopa=== |
| Koopa Paratroopas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. They fly in either fixed horizontal or vertical directions. They only appear with red shells in this game. Stomping one one kicks the shell immediately, instead of only removing the wings and leaving it a Red Koopa Troopa as in other games. They first appear in [[Paratroopas in Mushroom Valley]].
| | HP: 8, Attack: 3, Defense: 1 |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
| | That's a Shady Paratroopa. It's a Shady Koopa with wings, obviously. Knock off its wings and it's a Shady Koopa. Unlike typical Koopas and Paratroopas, its Attack jumps when it flips up off its back. This also says it has a move that hits you and your ally at once. Is that possible? Uh... I guess the best thing to do is just beat it quickly after we flip it. |
| Paratroopas appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]''. Several of them fly out of a television screen while Mario plays the [[Family Computer]]. A [[Big Koopa Paratroopa|colossal-sized Paratroopa]] also appears. | |

| | *[[Dry Bones]] |
| Koopa Paratroopas only appear in the episodes "[[King Mario of Cramalot]]" and "[[Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers]]" of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' In "King Mario of Cramalot," they drop a net on top of Mario, Luigi, Toad, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Mervin]]. The Koopa Paratroopas are based off the show's Koopa Troopa design, except that they are depicted in shades of red while having wings similar to a bee's, rather than their usual feathered ones. Much like the Koopa Troopas that appeared in that same episode, the Koopa Paratroopas are dressed up as knights to fit the medieval setting of [[Cramalot]]. In "Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers," when the Koopa Troopas are shrunk, one that is jumping is a Koopa Paratroopa.

| Additionally, in "[[Flatbush Koopa]]," after falling off a roller coaster and into {{wp|Lower New York Bay}}, a Koopa Troopa mutters that he wishes that he had joined the Paratroopas, claiming that they have received parachutes.

| |
| Koopa Paratroopas are background characters in the episode "[[Do the Koopa]]" of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They resemble their in-game design more closely than in the previous show. The Koopa Paratroopas dance in the [[Airship|Doomship's]] cargo hold.

| A Koopa Paratroopa is a minor character in the story "[[Marios Rückkehr]]" of ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]''. It turns [[Raccoon Mario]] into regular Mario after crashing into him.
| |
| | |
| ===''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]''===
| |
| Koopa Paratroopas are enemies in ''[[Koopa Capers]]''. Some of them can be fought by Luigi while ascending stairs leading to [[Wendy]]'s secret camp.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario Adventures''===
| |
| Koopa Paratroopas are antagonists in ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]''. They appear in red and green varieties. Koopa Paratroopas appear during the onslaught at the start. Some Koopa Paratroopas (incorrectly identified by Luigi as [[Mechakoopa|Mecha-Koopa]]s) are sent out by King Koopa to attack the Mario Bros. The Paratroopas are fought off by Mario while Yoshi eats them.

| |
| '''Koopa Para Troopas'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Yoshi's Safari'' instruction booklet|language=en-us|date=1993|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=19}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''. They appear in four aesthetic varieties: green, yellow, blue, and pink. There is a discrepancy on the box art, where they are depicted as barefooted, but have shoes in-game. Koopa Para Troopas hover up and down slightly while approaching the screen. They are defeated from a single shot from the [[Super Scope]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Hotel Mario''===
| |
| '''Flying Koopas'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Hotel Mario'' instruction book|date=1994|publisher=Philips|language=en|page=15}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Hotel Mario]]''. Flying Koopas are depicted in only the green variety. They are first encountered in [[Lemmy's High-ate Regency Hotel]]. They travel in a diagonal motion. The game adds a stronger variant named [[Z Koopa]]s.

They are first encountered in [[Visit Koopa And Para-Koopa]], along with Koopa Troopas, and both are common enemies. Para-Koopas appear in their green and red varieties. They can be inserted into a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s mouth, in which case they lose their wings and become Koopas, but not eaten. Green Para-Koopas hop and the red type travels back and forth.
| |
| | |
| ====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
| |
| Para-Koopas<ref>{{cite|author=Williams, Drew|title=''Yoshi's Island DS'' Player's Guide|language=en-us|date=2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|isbn=1-59812-016-6}}</ref> return in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Both the green and red varieties return, and they were given a larger body and a much lighter outline. Para-Koopas are first encountered in [[Rock 'n' Fall]], and are part of the Ground Exhibit of the [[Island Museum]].
| |
| | |
| ====''Yoshi’s New Island''====
| |
| Koopa Paratroopas return in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They are first encountered in [[Koopa Canyon]]. Koopa Paratroopas are no different than before.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
| |
| [[File:Sky Troopa SMRPG artwork.jpg|thumb|left|Artwork design of a Sky Troopa in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'']]
| |
| Paratroopas, named '''Sky Troopas''' in the original, are enemies in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. They are encountered in [[Mushroom Way]], [[Bandit's Way]], and [[Booster Pass]]. Paratroopas are all depicted wearing red shells. They do not lose their wings when hit. Pararoopas attack by ramming their opponent while hiding in their shell.
| |
| | |
| In Mushroom Way, some Paratroopas guard [[treasure chest|treasure box]]es while others actively pursue [[Mario]]. One Paratroopa even kidnaps [[Toad]]. In battle, Paratroopas either fight alone or in pairs. At Mushroom Way and in Booster Pass, Paratroopas also aid [[Spikey (Super Mario RPG)|Spikey]]s in battle if the Spikeys are attacked. Four Paratroopas can be fought in Bandit's Way while Mario chases [[Croco]] through the last area of the level. They fly high in the sky and do not actively pursue Mario, therefore he has to [[jump]] if he wants to fight them. After Croco is defeated, these Paratroopas disappear and do not return for the rest of the game.
| |
| | |
| One prominent Paratroopa featured in the game is [[Sergeant Flutter]], a reformed Koopa who leads a large squad of friendly Paratroopas. These Paratroopas help out Mario in his quest for the [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]]s at the behest of [[Monstermama]], the leader of [[Monstro Town]]. These Paratroopas assist Mario in ascending the steep cliff located at the end of [[Land's End]], allowing him to reach [[Bean Valley]] and eventually [[Nimbus Land]]. Mario accomplishes this by jumping from Paratroopa to Paratroopa, each Paratroopa carrying Mario higher into the air and closer to the next Paratroopa. If Mario scales the cliff quickly by bypassing the normal sequence of Paratroopa hops, he is rewarded with prizes.
| |
| | |
| The Paratroopa has a bulky relative called a [[Big Troopa]], which in turn are related to the [[Grand Troopa]]s. Paratroopas also have stronger relatives called [[Malakoopa]]s. These Paratroopas have a green shell instead of a red shell. Standard Koopa Troopas are absent from the game.
| |
| | |
| The original localized name of the Paratroopas was reused in the Nintendo Switch version as a wrong answer to one of [[Dr. Topper]]'s quiz questions.
| |
| | |
| ===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===
| |
| [[File:VerminYoshi.png|thumb|Yoshi pounding a Para Troopa in ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'']]
| |
| Para Troopas are enemies in some of the Modern versions of [[Game & Watch]] games in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'' and background elements of the Modern version of ''[[Fire (Game & Watch)|Fire]]'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]''. A Para Troopa in ''[[Helmet (Game & Watch)|Helmet]]'' throws obstacles in the first area, including [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]]s, [[Lava Bubble|Podoboos]], and [[hammer]]s. Para Troopas are amongst the enemies to defend the [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s from in ''[[Vermin]]''. Para Troopas appear in the Modern ''[[Donkey Kong (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong]]'' in both ''Game & Watch Gallery'' titles.

| |
| Paratroopas mostly have minor roles in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]]. Paratroopa's name occasionally appears on the score card in ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]''. A red Paratroopa waves the [[Out of Bounds|O.B.]] flag in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. Koopa Paratroopas are non-playable characters in the Golf Adventure mode of ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', being encountered in [[Bonny Greens]] and [[Ridgerock Lake]].
| |
| | |
| A Paratroopa is an unlockable playable character in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. It has a straight trajectory at 207 yards. Paratroopa has higher control and sweet spot stats, and it hits the ball at the middle height. Paratroopa has a slightly higher drive than [[Princess Peach|Peach]]. Paratroopa is unlocked by collecting 50 [[Star Coin]]s in Challenge Mode. A green Paratroopa is one of the enemies hit by Mario and [[Gold Mario]] during their animation from earning an eagle or a higher rating.

The player can create a Red Koopa Paratroopa by transforming a Red Koopa Troopa with two P-Wings, and can be transformed into a [[Dry Bones]] using six [[Boo Mushroom]]s.

| [[File:PDSMBE-YellowKoopaParatroopa-TeamImage.png|frame|100px|right]]
| |
| Yellow Koopa Paratroopas are Light-attribute enemies. In battle, they may occasionally use '''Winged Yellow Shell''' to nullify Dark attribute damage for two turns. When defeated, it may randomly drop a [[Baddie Block#Light Block|Light Block]] of a Yellow Koopa Troopa or a P-Wing, while defeating it with a 10+ Combo attack guarantees that it drops a Fruit. As Light enemies, they take extra damage from Dark attribute attacks and normal damage from any other attribute.
| |
| | |
| As teammates, Yellow Koopa Paratroopas gain a Light sub-attribute (being Light/Light teammates), and have an HP rating of 4/6, an ATK rating of 2/6, and a RCV rating of 2/6. Their Winged Yellow Shell Skill recovers 500 HP for the player's team and changes any Fire Orbs on the player's Orb field into Light Orbs, while their Awoken Skill '''Light Boost''' raises the ATK of any Light attribute teammates when the player clears a horizontal row of Light Orbs. Like Green and Red Koopa Paratroopas, Yellow variants also use Fruits and Rare Fruits to raise their Skill Levels. The player can create a Yellow Koopa Paratroopa by transforming a Yellow Koopa Troopa with two P-Wings, and can be transformed into a Big Yellow Koopa Paratroopa using five Super Mushrooms.

| |
| Koopa Paratroopas reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and its port ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. Due to the game depicting the characters, locations, items as being made of yarn, hence the title, their wings become outlines of yarn, and the beige part of their shells is replaced with a white button. When they are hit by a yarn ball, they become [[Koopa Troopa]]s just as in previous games; they first appear in [[Knot-Wing the Koopa's Fort]]. [[Knot-Wing the Koopa]] is a boss which appears several times throughout ''Yoshi's Woolly World''. Knot-Wing has the appearance of a large Koopa Paratroopa—however, he has the ability to regain his wings after losing them.

| | |
| ===''Skylanders: SuperChargers''===
| |
| Koopa Paratroopas appear in the Nintendo versions of ''[[Skylanders: SuperChargers]]'' as part of Bowser's moveset.
| |
| | |
| ===''Minecraft''===
| |
| In the Super Mario Mash-up for ''[[Minecraft]]'', Koopa Paratroopas replace {{iw|minecraftwiki|Vex}}es as enemies; because of this, Paratroopas are a lot smaller than in other appearances.

| |
| Paratroopas are selectable sidekicks in the baseball mode of ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''. They are depicted in separately selectable red, green, blue, and yellow varieties. Their stats differ only in pitching velocity, speed, and stamina, mostly the latter. Paratroopas are billed Technique players, helping them control the ball while batting. Each Paratroopa color has three pitching options of their own. A green Paratroopa is depicted on the [[List of Mario Sports Superstars digital cards|collectible digital card]]. A Paratroopa retains its depiction and role in Mario and [[Metal Mario]]'s animation from scoring an eagle or higher in golf.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===
| |
| Koopa Paratroopa makes a cameo in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''. A sprite of it from ''Super Mario Bros.'' is displayed on the wallpaper in the laboratory in the introductory cutscene. Paratroopa is also the basis of the design of the [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Grenaduck|Annihilation from Above]] weapon.
| |
| | |
| ===''Dr. Mario World''===
| |
| Koopa Paratroopas are assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. In stage mode, their effect is to increase the obtained score for each red [[virus]] eliminated, where the base score increase is greater at higher levels. In versus mode, the effect is to instead clear the bottom-most row of objects if an object has reached the penultimate row from the bottom line; this effect activates only once per round. The chance that the effect activates is greater at higher levels, where it is guaranteed to activate at the maximum level. In Clinic Events, a Koopa Paratroopa was featured as a patient during season 8.

| |
| [[List of Super Mario Kart pre-release and unused content|Originally]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', if the player ranked 3rd place in a Mario Kart GP, four red Koopa Paratroopas would appear flying above the racers. When the winner in 1st place opened the bottle of champagne, the last Paratroopa would be shot down by the cork and angrily bounce away.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario Kart Wii''====
| |
| Paratroopa was [[List of Mario Kart Wii pre-release and unused content|originally]] going to reappear in ''Mario Kart Wii'' as a playable racer, as there is an image of it for the game's character select screen, along with [[Petey Piranha]] and [[Hammer Bro]]. Koopa Troopa's model additionally has an unused wing model, alongside having unused wing textures, indicating that it was originally to share its model with Paratroopa. However, both the character and the wing model were removed from the game for unknown reasons. Despite this, artwork of one appears on the "Turn Right" billboard in [[Wii Koopa Cape|Koopa Cape]].

| |
| Koopa Paratroopas have an identical appearance to their parent species, the [[Koopa Troopa]]. They are designed after tortoises, and were originally designed being a quadruped until ''Super Mario World'', although various artwork of Paratroopas have anthropomorphized quadruped Paratroopas. In ''Super Mario World'', they have been given shoes to designate their current bipedal appearance, just as regular Koopa Troopas have gotten. Most artwork of Paratroopas have colored their shells red to further distinguish from regular Koopa Troopa, though multiple artwork of green-shelled Paratroopas exist. All playable appearances of a Koopa Paratroopa have been red-shelled, with some exceptions including the ''Mario Baseball'' games giving players the choice to choose different colors for the Paratroopa, although the red Paratroopa is the default color regardless.
| |
| | |
| The most distinguishing feature of Paratroopas are their wings, which enable them to fly. These wings are not firmly attached to the Paratroopa's shells, with usually a single stomp getting rid of their wings and turning them into normal Koopa Troopas; this is further enhanced by the ability of simply adding wings to multiple objects in ''Super Mario Maker'', Koopa Troopas included and the existence of the [[P-Wing]]. The shell-color of the Paratroopa is additionally used to separate behavioral differences: green-shelled Paratroopas typically bounce around or fly left and right while red-shelled Paratroopas fly up and down; many exceptions are made to this rule, however. The Paratroopa's wing length differs from game to game, with Paratroopas in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', ''Paper Mario'', ''Yoshi's Island DS'', and ''Super Princess Peach'' having very long wings, though the normal length for most games of the wings is rather short.
| |
| | |
| In games where Paratroopas have a voice, Paratroopas mostly borrow their voice clips from Koopa Troopa's electronic ones. Initially, Paratroopa sounds identically to Koopa Troopa beginning with ''Mario Tennis'' for the Nintendo 64; ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is the first game to increase the pitch of its voice clips to distinguish from Koopa Troopa and has been the norm for Paratroopa ever since, with a few exceptions.

| | |
| ==Profiles and statistics==
| |
| {{main|List of Koopa Paratroopa profiles and statistics}}
| |
| Bios often mention the ability of Koopa Paratroopas to fly and to lose its wings to turn into Koopa Troopas once they are stomped on. In various ''Super Mario'' RPGs barring ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Koopa Paratroopas feature very similar stats to Koopa Troopas, having high defense due to the protection of their shells and they can avoid grounded attacks thanks to their flying nature. However, their wings can usually be removed by the means of jumping on them, which turns them into ordinary Koopa Troopas. In the sports spin-offs that feature a playable Koopa Paratroopa, the playable Paratroopas are usually classified as technical or trickier characters, having a focus on outplaying and managing their opponents differently than relying on pure power or speed stats. Aside from that, they are usually very balanced, having no huge strengths or weaknesses.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' concept art, Koopa Paratroopa is tentatively named「フライング クリーパー」(''Furaingu Kurīpā'', Flying Creeper), based on [[Shellcreeper]].<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=September 14, 2015|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=C73f618-3pk&t=2517s|title=Nintendo Digital Event @ E3 2015|timestamp=41:57|language=en-us|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=October 18, 2021}}</ref>
| |
| *Out of all the enemies from ''Super Mario Bros.'', Paratroopas and [[Buzzy Beetle]]s are the only ones that have yet to appear in a 3D platforming ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' game. However, [[Parabones]], which are the undead equivalent of Koopa Paratroopas, have appeared in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.
| |
| *In the original release of ''Super Mario Bros.'', Koopa Paratroopas had a minor graphical error with their wings that would cause a gap in their shell grooves in one specific frame of their flight animation, which wouldn't be fixed until ''[[Super Mario Bros.#Alternate versions and re-releases|25th Anniversary SUPER MARIO BROS.]]'' in 2010.
