'''Koopa Troopas''' (commonly shortened to ''' | '''Koopa Troopas''' (commonly shortened to '''[[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s''' or sometimes '''Troopas''') are anthropomorphic, turtle-like creatures with removable shells that come in many different colors, with red and green Koopa Troopas being the most common; green Koopa Troopas usually walk back and forth without any concerns for pits or other obstacles, and red Koopa Troopas usually walk back and forth without falling off of their platforms. Koopa Troopas are usually displayed as foot soldiers of [[Bowser's Minions]]. Since ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', however, not all Koopa Troopas work for [[Bowser]] (or any other villain), some of whom even act as allies to [[Mario]] during his adventures, and have appeared as playable characters in various spin-off games starting with ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. They are notable for the many uses of their shells in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. | ||

The Koopa Troopa's Japanese name,「ノコノコ」(''Nokonoko''), is a Japanese term meaning "to walk unconcernedly", describing the green-shelled Koopa Troopas' behavior. The English name comes from [[Bowser]]'s Japanese name,「クッパ」(''Kuppa''), which is itself derived from the Korean dish of the same name,<ref>http://themushroomkingdom.net/mariosan.shtml</ref> while "Troopa" is a corruption of "trooper", seemingly to keep the reference to forward marching from the Japanese name intact. | The Koopa Troopa's Japanese name,「ノコノコ」(''Nokonoko''), is a Japanese term meaning "to walk unconcernedly", describing the green-shelled Koopa Troopas' behavior.

It is worth noting that the Koopa Troopas' ability to remove their shells is not true to any type of turtle, although popular culture often overlooks this fact. | |||

They are also shown to be wearing accessories, to distinguish from each other; for example, one Koopa Troopa wears spiked shoulder pads and an eyepatch, and another wears a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]] as its shell and helmet. In addition, unlike their previous appearances, they wield various weapons such as spears and hammers. | ||
Green Koopa Troopas are specifically given an association with water in games such as ''Mario Power Tennis'' and ''Puzzles and Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition'', since their Offensive and Defensive Power Shots in the former game involve water, and in the latter game their attribute is Water. In ''Puzzles and Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition'', Red Koopa Troopas have fire as their attribute, while Yellow Koopa Troopas have light. | Green Koopa Troopas are specifically given an association with water in games such as ''Mario Power Tennis'' and ''Puzzles and Dragons: Super Mario Bros.
