'''Koopa Troopas''' (commonly shortened to '''Koopas''' or sometimes '''Troopas''') are anthropomorphic turtles with removable shells that come in many different colors, with green and red Koopa Troopas being the most common; green Koopa Troopas usually walk in a straight line until they hit a wall or fall into a bottomless pit, while red Koopa Troopas walk back and forth without walking off of the platforms they are on. Koopa Troopas are the most common members of the [[Koopa (species)| Koopa species]]. Most serve as foot soldiers belonging to [[Bowser's Minions]], being the second most common enemy encountered by Mario behind the [[Goomba]]s. As revealed in ''[[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]]''. Koopa Troopas can utilize their shells in a variety of ways.

==Concept and creation==
[[File:Shellcreeper.png|thumb|left|Artwork of a Shellcreeper]]
[[File:HowToWin.png|thumb|Early artwork of Koopa Troopas in ''[[How to win at Super Mario Bros.]]'']]
An enemy that first appeared in {{id|MB|game}}, the [[Shellcreeper]], was the "ancestor" of the Koopa Troopa.<ref>''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' Shellcreeper Japanese trophy description; English versions do not specify Koopa Troopa, but Japanese versions do.</ref> When creating ''Super Mario Bros.'', a few changes were made to the enemies, including the ability to jump on them in order to damage them.

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, while "Troopa" is a corruption of  "trooper", seemingly to keep the reference to forward marching from the Japanese name intact.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
{{multiple image|align=left|direction=horizontal|image1=Green Koopa Troopa SMB.gif|width1=62|caption1=A green Koopa Troopa as it appears above ground|image2=SMB Red Koopa Troopa.gif|width2=62|caption2=A red Koopa Troopa as it appears in any location|image3=SMB NES Blue Koopa Troopa Walking.gif|width3=62|caption3=A green Koopa Troopa as it appears underground}}
[[File:SMB - Koopa Troopa.png|thumb|150px|A Koopa Troopa, as it appears in ''Super Mario Bros.'']]
Koopa Troopas are enemies in both {{a|SMB|l}} and {{a|SMBTLL|l}}, moving faster in the latter game. They also have a flying variety known as [[Koopa Paratroopa]]. If a Koopa Troopa is stomped, it recedes into [[Koopa Shell|shell]] and then kicked at other enemies. If the shell is left alone for a while, Koopa moves its legs before re-emerging. There are green Koopa Troopas, which continue in a single direction until being defeated, and red, which patrols a set area without walking off any edges, due to their timid nature.<ref>{{cite|date=1985|title={{a|SMB}} instruction booklet|format=PDF|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=11|quote=Very timid, he gets scared easily and runs back and forth a lot.}}</ref> If a Koopa Troopa is either hit from below or is [[stomp]]ed while falling, the shell is flipped upside down (like with its death animation), but it uprights itself after some time. A Koopa Troopa is the [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowser]] of {{id|World 2-4|SMB}} of {{a|SMB}}<ref>{{cite|timestamp=0:23|url=youtu.be/OtNmATMvyMs?feature=shared&t=23|title={{a|SMB}} - World 2-4|author=[[User:VideoGamePhenomHD|VideoGamePhenom]]|date=August 24, 2019|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=December 30, 2024}}</ref> and [[World A-4]] of {{a|SMBTLL}}.<ref>{{cite|author=VideoGamePhenom|date=September 21, 2019|url=youtu.be/MhV6Up8hiCU?feature=shared&t=28|timestamp=0:28|title={{a|SMAS}} - {{a|SMBTLL}} - World A-4|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=December 30, 2024}}</ref> Koopas descend staircases in some levels like at the end of {{id|World 3-1|SMB}}, allowing the player to kick the Koopa's shell repeatedly against the staircase for a potential unlimited number of lives, but this trick is not doable in {{a|VSSMB|l}} since the Koopas have been replaced by [[Goomba|Little Goombas]]. [[Castle]] levels utilize a darker palette for green Koopa Troopas. In {{a|SMBTLL}} only, Koopa Troopas can appear underwater, where they are depicted with light gray shells due to hardware limits.

====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Koopa Troopas do not appear in {{a|SMB2|l}}, but their [[Koopa Shell|shells]] are usable items that can be thrown at enemies, hurting neither the player nor bouncing off walls; this is changed in {{a|SMA|l}}.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Koopa Troopas return as enemies in {{a|SMB3}}, this time in most worlds. Unlike before, a Koopa in its shell can be picked up and tossed, which would also be the later appearances. The ending shows a Koopa standing on two feet, praying to [[Statue Mario]].<ref>{{cite|timestamp=01:09|url=youtu.be/JkALFsUbkDg?feature=shared&t=69|title={{a|SMB3}} - Ending|author=VideoGamePhenom|date=September 7, 2019|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=December 30, 2024}}</ref> [[Big Koopa Troopa|Giant Koopa]]s and [[Dry Bones]] are added as giant and skeletal varieties of Koopa Troopa, respectively. Bowser refers to himself as "Koopa Troopa" in British English releases during the letter revealing that he had kidnapped the princess.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Bros._3/Version_Differences#Bowser.27s_Letter|title={{a|SMB3}}/Version Differences - Bowser's Letter|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en}}</ref>

A regular green Koopa Troopa appears alongside Spinies in a variation of ''{{id|Mario Bros.|game}}'' known as the {{id|Battle Game|SMAS}} in {{a|SMAS|l}}.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Land''====
{{main|Bombshell Koopa}}
Koopa Troopas do not appear in {{a|SML|l}} but receive varieties named [[Bombshell Koopa]], which have [[bomb]]s for shells.

====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:SMWKoopa.png|thumb|upright=0.66|left|Artwork from {{a|SMW}}]]
{{multiframe|[[File:KoopaGreenL.gif]]||[[File:KoopaRedL.gif]]||[[File:KoopaBlueL.gif]]||[[File:KoopaYellowL.gif]]||[[File:SMW MaskKoopa Green.png]]||[[File:SMW MaskKoopa Red.png]]||[[File:SMW MaskKoopa Blue.png]]||[[File:SMW MaskKoopa Yellow.png]]|size=64|align=right}}
{{a|SMW|l}} marks many changes to Koopa Troopas. It introduces their recurring design of walking on two legs in-game and wearing shoes. Jumping on a Koopa knocks it out of its shell, becoming an [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|unshelled Koopa]], stunning and leaving it vulnerable for a short period of time. To reclaim its shell, a Koopa has to walk back to it before Mario grabs it.
 
This is the first game to introduce Koopas and [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]s wearing [[Yellow Shell]]s and [[Blue Shell]]s. Also, if Yoshi eats certain color shells, then he will gain abilities: [[Green Shell]]s do nothing and can only be spat out normally, [[Red Shell]]s allow Yoshi to spit fire, Yellow Shells allow Yoshi to create a [[sand cloud]] after landing from a jump, defeating any enemies on the ground nearby, and Blue Shells allow Yoshi to fly for a short period of time. The different color shells also point to the behavior of the Koopa Troopas. The blue-shelled type is the faster counterpart of red-shelled Koopa Troopas, and if it loses its shell, the blue-shelled Koopa Troopa kicks any shell in its path instead of jumping into a different one. It also does not get stunned when it loses its shell, as it slides out on its feet as opposed to its belly like other Koopa Troopas. Yellow-shelled Koopa Troopas are unique and tend to chase after Mario, but act like faster green-shelled Koopa Troopas in movement. When yellow-shelled Koopa Troopas lose their shell, a coin pops out. When a yellow shell-less Koopa finds a new shell, it will turn into a [[Shell (flashing)|flashing Shell]] and chase Mario. It will be invincible to most of Mario's moves while defeating enemies in its path; however, [[Yoshi]] can eat this shell and gain all three shell abilities for a limited time, and a spin jump will also destroy this shell. [[Magikoopa]]s can create yellow-shelled Koopa Troopas out of [[Rotating Block]]s. The game also introduces [[Climbing Koopa]]s, a variety that can climb on [[Chain-Link|fences]].

After the player completes the [[Special Zone]], or finds all exits in {{a|SMA2|l}}, all Koopa Troopas (except the climbing variants) become '''Mask Koopas''', with their respective shells becoming round masks that vaguely resemble Mario. With this, Green and Red Koopas will be replaced with their Yellow and Blue counterparts respectively, although standalone unshelled Koopas and other Koopa Troopa species will keep their original colors.

====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
[[File:SML2 Koopa Troopa.png|frame|left]]
Koopa Troopas appear in {{a|SML2|l}}, being four-legged like in the {{a|FC|l}} titles. Their traits are shared with the red-shelled type, although Koopa Troopas are depicted as green-shelled in the artwork.

While the Bombshell Koopa is absent, it has a [[Buzzy Beetle]]-like variant known as the [[Noko Bombette]]. Additionally, a gigantic Koopa appears at the entrance to the [[Turtle Zone]]. It will swallow Mario up, allowing him to enter the zone.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:KoopaTroopaSM64.png|thumb|upright=0.7|A Koopa Troopa in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'']]
Green-shelled Koopa Troopas, also referred to as '''Small Koopas''',<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980610064231/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/1-7.html|title=Course 1 - Star 7: Collect 100 Coins|publisher=Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy|language=en-us|accessdate=July 5, 2024}}</ref> are enemies found only in [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] and [[Tiny-Huge Island]] in {{a|SM64|l}}. They try to run from Mario, unlike earlier games. If jumped on or punched, the Koopa Troopas will be knocked out of their [[Koopa Shell|shell]]s and transformed into [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|unshelled Koopa]]s. These Koopa Troopas are harmless and cannot hurt Mario, but they can push him back if touched. Attacking a Koopa Troopa in this state defeats it, then the Koopa Troopa drops a [[Blue Coin]]. Once the Koopa Troopas are knocked out of their shells, Mario can ride on their shells in a manner similar to surfing. Koopa Shells can also be found in certain [[! Block]]s and [[clam]]s. Additionally, a [[Small Koopa Troopa]] appears on the tiny area of Tiny-Huge Island, but it cannot damage Mario and will be defeated if he attacks or even touches it.

A friendly [[Big Koopa Troopa|Giant Koopa]] called [[Koopa the Quick]] also appears, in the same courses that regular Koopa Troopas are found in. This marks the first time an individual Koopa Troopa is given a name that differentiates from the species, as well as the first appearance of a Koopa Troopa who seems neutral to the battle between Mario and the Koopa Troop. When Mario speaks to Koopa the Quick, he gives a high-pitched whoop- or hiccup-like sound that would eventually become the standard sound effect for Koopa Troopas.

Koopa Troopas return in {{a|SM64DS|l}}, having the same behavior as before. An unused yet fully functional red Koopa Troopa is located within the game code. When it sees the player, the red Koopa Troopas runs into them and knocks them around, unlike the green ones. Koopa Troopas cannot have their shells ridden, but they can be kicked to hit other enemies. [[Yoshi]] can spew fire after eating a red Koopa Troopa.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
{{main|Electro-Koopa|Snooza Koopa}}
Although Koopa Troopas do not appear in {{a|Sunshine|l}}, an electric-shelled variant known as the [[Electro-Koopa]] and a large, sleeping variant known as the [[Snooza Koopa]] do.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:NSMB Blue Koopa Troopa Walking Sprite.gif|frame]]
[[File:NSMB Green Koopa Troopa Artwork.png|thumb|120px|left|Artwork from {{a|NSMB}}]] 
Koopa Troopas appear in {{a|NSMB|l}}. It can be ground-pounded into its shell be sent sliding. The [[Shell Mario|Shell power-up]] gives Mario a [[Blue Shell]], allowing him to [[shell dash|slide]] along the ground. The Mario vs. Luigi mode features a blue Koopa Troopa in the snow battle stage, and defeating it allows Mario to take the shell and become Shell Mario. Koopa Troopas react to the [[Paah|vocal riffs]] in the music.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:GalaxyKoopa.png|thumb|upright=0.66|Artwork from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
Koopa Troopas in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' walk on all-fours and do not wear shoes, like in the {{a|FC}}/NES titles. They always have angry expressions and retain their hiccup-like sounds. Nearly all of the Koopa Troopas wear green shells and walk very slowly, first appearing in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]] and later returning in galaxies such as the [[Bigmouth Galaxy]] and [[Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada]]. Only one red Koopa ever appears, near the lighthouse in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]] - it walks noticeably quicker than the green ones. Koopas follow a set path (either back-and-forth in a straight line or in a circle) and can hurt the player when touched. A Koopa retreats into its shell if stomped or [[spin|spun]] into before re-emerging moments later. Spinning nearby one without hitting it will cause it to stop and tremble for a moment before resuming its patrol. Either throwing or breaking a Koopa's shell causes it to respawn in the same area it patrolled, an ability shared only with [[Cataquack]]s from the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]]. [[Koopa Shell|Koopa shells]] are throwable items and are more common than Koopas themselves.

An unused blue-shelled variant of a Koopa Troopa is present within the game files.

Koopa Troopas reappear in {{a|NSMBW|l}}, acting as they did in the first ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Koopa Troopas once again dance to the [[Paah|vocal riffs]] in the background music by pausing and facing the screen, though they now do a bit of cha-cha. In this game, they appear in both green and red-colored shell variations. The green Koopa Troopas will walk in a straight line until they reach a wall, but red Koopa Troopas turn around when they reach a drop in the ground. Koopa Troopas can be defeated by [[Spin Jump]]s and [[Ground Pound]]s, and therefore are much simpler to defeat than in earlier games.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Koopa Troopas appear only in green varieties, with a single normal Koopa Troopa exclusively appearing in the [[Cosmic Cove Galaxy]]. It walks in a tight square shape, though it otherwise still acts the same as the ones in the previous game, including respawning after being defeated. [[Big Koopa Troopa|Giant Koopa]]s also appear in the [[Supermassive Galaxy]].

Koopa Troopas are enemies in {{a|SM3DL|l}}, this time using their design from {{a|SMW}} in addition to having a dark navy blue pigment in their eyes. Koopa Troopas appear in {{id|World 1-2|SM3DL}}, {{id|World 1-3|SM3DL}}, {{id|World 4-1|SM3DL}}, and [[Special 4-1]], with a total of twelve appearing. They behave similarly to their versions from previous games, where [[Mario]] stomps them and they retreat into their [[Green Shell|shells]] so Mario can kick them to attack enemies. However, in this game, no matter how Mario attacks them, Koopa Troopas only retreat inside their shells when hit, though hitting them with another shell or running into them while [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] does destroy them. However, this only works if the Koopa that is hit has not retreated into its shell; hitting another shell results in that shell moving, and two shells in motion hitting each other simply rebound. They will never get back out of their shells in this game and remain in them endlessly once they have been attacked. Mario can only kick shells in this title; he cannot hold them. While retreated into their shells, [[Tanooki Mario]] can whip them with his tail or [[Fire Mario]] can shoot them with fireballs simultaneously five times to make the shell break open and reveal a 1-Up Mushroom. After the player has defeated [[Bowser]] in {{world link|8|bowser3d|World 8-Bowser: Part 1}} 1 for the first time, the Toads find a postcard that has a picture of [[Luigi]] captured by a Koopa Troopa and a [[Peepa]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Koopa Troopas return in {{a|NSMB2|l}}. They are generally the same as before, though activating a [[Gold Ring]] turns Koopa Troopas golden for a time. Gold-shelled Koopa Troopas form a trail of coins behind them if their shell travels along the ground. The player earns more coins incrementally as the gold Koopa Troopa hits enemies.
{{br|left}}

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Koopa Troopas reappear in {{a|NSMBU|l}}, along with [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]s and [[Big Koopa Troopa]]s. Koopa Troopas behave like they do in earlier appearances.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====

[[File:SM3DW+BF Artwork Koopa Troopa (Cat).png|thumb|A Cat Koopa Troopa]]
Koopa Troopas return in {{a|SM3DW|l}} and {{a|SM3DW+BF|the port}}. They usually chase Mario, like [[Goomba]]s, rather than always walking back and forth in a straight line. They can also be removed from their shells like in ''Super Mario World''. Koopa Troopas will try to get back into their shell if it is taken, and if they realize their shell has been lost, they express disappointment for a moment and return to chasing Mario. They retain their hiccuping sounds. There are empty shells that the player character can [[shell dash|climb into]] and travel around in to defeat nearby enemies.

Koopa Troopas receive a variation in the port's ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' mode named '''Cat Koopa Troopas''', based on the [[Cat Mario|Cat transformation]]. It has fur, cat ears, and a longer, cat-like tail.

====''Super Mario Maker'' series====
Koopa Troopas are enemies in {{a|SMM|l}}, {{a|SMM3DS|l}}, and {{a|SMM2|l}}, retaining their behavior in every game style except the latter's {{a|SM3DW}} style, where Koopa Troopas cannot chase Mario. Koopa Troopas are enemies that can be placed in the Course Editor, starting out green but can be shook to become red. Koopa Troopas can be enlarged by a [[Super Mushroom]], and they can receive wings to become Koopa Paratroopas. They can be placed in [[Bill Blaster]]s, [[Warp Pipe]]s, and [[Block]]s.

When they are enlarged, their shells can break through blocks without bouncing. Koopa Shells are able to bounce on [[Trampoline]]s and [[Note Block]]s in this game. In the {{a|SMW}}, stomping a Koopa Troopa turns it into an [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|unshelled Koopa]], which also occurs in the {{a|SM3DW}} style.

====''Super Mario Run''====
Koopa Troopas reappear in {{a|SMR|l}} and behave similarly to how they did in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. Green Koopa Troopas and Red Koopa Troopas have different listings in the Notebook and are [[level up|levelled up]] separately. When Mario stomps on a Koopa Troopa, the shell is instantly sent sliding, without the need to stomp or kick the shell seperately. Even still, attacking a block that a Koopa Troopa stands on throws the Koopa forward in non-spinning shell form. Koopas recover much faster than usual from this state, but it lasts long enough to walk into the shell given no impediments. When the player [[Vaulting|vault]]s over a Koopa Troopa, it retreats into its shell until the move ends. Using a [[Vaulting Jump]] will kick the shell. Stomping on them still grants coins, but does not count as defeating them on the Results screen and for leveling up. To level them up, they have to be defeated in ways that do not have them retreat into the shell, of which there are many. Examples include using another shell, [[roll]]ing into them, or being invincible.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SandKingdomKoopaSMO.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|The Red Koopa Troopa that hosts the Trace-Walking minigame in the Sand Kingdom]]
Unlike other games of the ''{{id|Super Mario|series}}'' series, Koopa Troopas are not enemies in {{a|SMO|l}}, except during the 8-bit segments. They wear irremovable hats, preventing Mario from potentially capturing them. A red Koopa Troopa wearing a sombrero, a blue one wearing a snow hood, and a purple one wearing an astronaut helmet appear in the [[Sand Kingdom]], [[Snow Kingdom]], and [[Moon Kingdom]], respectively, hosting the Trace-Walking minigame that involves Mario walking on a circle of arrows (a triangle for the Snow Kingdom version) that disappear after some time. The Koopa Troopa gives Mario a Power Moon if he gets 80 points. The Koopa Troopa later provides the opportunity for Mario to take on each trace-walking challenge again for more Power Moons, now from scoring 90 points or more, after Mario has broken the [[Moon Rock]]s in the respective kingdoms during the post-game.

A green Koopa Troopa in a cap hosts the Koopa Freerunning mini-game after Mario completes the story. The mini-game involves trying to reach a shing beacon at the end before a racing quartet of Koopa Troopas, the [[Roving Racers]]. The Roving Racers have longer arms and legs than regular Koopa Troopas to match Mario's body proportions.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
[[File:SMBWKoopas.jpg|thumb|Two Koopa Troopas in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'']]
[[File:A floating red koopa.png|thumb|left|A floating Koopa Troopa in zero gravity]]
Koopa Troopas return as enemies in {{a|SMBW|l}} and have a hunched posture, similar to games of the [[Nintendo 64]] era. When the player is close enough, a Koopa Troopa sports an angry expression, similar to ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. The game introduces [[Rolla Koopa]], a pink-shelled variant that wears roller skates, and [[Snortoise]]s, which resemble a sea turtle and soft-shelled turtle.

====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====
{{quote|Hold it, you sewer squirts! You can't dupe a Troopa! You're the Mario Brothers! Troopatize those pipesqueaks!|Koopa Troopa|"[[Hooded Robin and His Mario Men]]"}}
[[File:SMBSS Koopa Troop with Spear.png|thumb|left|A Koopa Troopa from the opening of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'']]
Koopa Troopas are the most frequently recurring minions in [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s army on ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''. The Koopa Troopas are generally portrayed as being slightly slow and incompetent, although they are usually successful in carrying out simple jobs. The design used for Koopa Troopas on ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' is different than their in-game appearance, depicting them with green skin, green-rimmed shells, and beady eyes. It is possible that they were given green skin to better correlate with King Koopa's appearance. The Koopa Troopas on the show are depicted as bipeds, something that had yet to be seen in any game until ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Also, as a joke, Koopa Troopas are usually seen wearing turtleneck sweaters.

In early episodes such as "[[King Mario of Cramalot]]" and "[[Rolling Down the River]]", Koopa Troopas speak in very slow, deep voices. However, in all of their later appearances, their voices, while still somewhat slow, are notably higher.

In many episodes, a single Koopa Troopa is shown to be a member of King Koopa's "Koopa Pack", which also consists of [[Mouser]] and [[Tryclyde]]. There is never any indication of how this particular Koopa Troopa earned his rank in the Koopa Pack, as there is nothing to differentiate him from any other generic Koopa Troopa. This Koopa Troopa goes along with [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s plots, and is usually dressed up in costume like King Koopa and many other minions to go along with the theme of the episode.

In the episode "[[Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers]]" it is shown that Koopa Troopas have a phobia of vegetables.

{{quote|Do Koopa Troopas have shells? Besides, [[Luigi|little brother]], if I wasn't sure, would I do this?|[[Mario]]|"[[Fire Sale]]"}}
[[File:SMWCartoonTroopa.jpg|thumb|A Koopa Troopa in the ''Super Mario World'' television series episode "[[Fire Sale]]".]]
A single, red-shelled Koopa Troopa makes an appearance in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' episode "[[Fire Sale]]". This Koopa Troopa's design is truer to the games than that of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', and is based on the Paratroopas that briefly appear in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "[[Do the Koopa]]". This is also the only Koopa Troopa to appear in the follow-ups from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''.

The Koopa Troopa in "Fire Sale" never speaks, and serves as [[Wendy O. Koopa|Kootie Pie Koopa's]] lackey and personal punching bag throughout the episode. Near the beginning of the episode, Kootie Pie jumps on the Koopa Troopa repeatedly, knocking him [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|out of his shell]]. When Kootie Pie throws the Koopa Troopa back into his shell, he winds up wearing the shell backward and is stuck like that for a while. Despite the abuse he took, the Koopa Troopa has the last laugh towards Kootie Pie at the end, when she is frozen in a block of ice. The Koopa just reads a magazine and sips ice tea, ignoring Kootie Pie's complaints.

===''Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land''===
In the interactive OVA ''[[Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land]]'', several Koopa Troopas appear under the command of [[Iggy]], but they are defeated by [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]].
===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
Koopa Troopas appear throughout the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'' series, which gives them a weapon not seen anywhere else: a retractable cannon in their shells that allows them to bombard their enemies with a seemingly limitless barrage of empty [[shell|Koopa Shell]]s.

The only noteworthy role Koopa Troopas have in the series is in the twelfth and final book, ''[[Brain Drain]]''. Due to [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]]'s [[Synapse Switcher]], Luigi can switch minds with one, allowing him to go undercover in Iggy's hideout. While in the Koopa Troopa's body, Luigi also discovers that pizza tastes disgusting to Koopa Troopas.

===''Mario Roulette''===
In ''[[Mario Roulette]]'', two Koopa Troopas can be seen in the audience when [[Mario]] explains how to play the game.

===''Super Mario Adventures''===
Several Koopa Troopas appear in the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic book, which is loosely based on the ''Super Mario World'' video game. In this comic, Koopa Troopas first appear during [[Bowser]]'s initial attack on [[Peach's Castle]]. They are among the many enemies that come through [[Warp Pipe]]s and attack the Mario Bros.

After the supposed rescue of [[Princess Peach]] from [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]'s castle, [[Toad]] is sent back to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] with the aid of a [[Cape]] to get a rescue party for the Mario Bros. and the Princess. He is waylaid by [[Bowser]] and several Koopa Troopas masquerading as Toads, who aid Bowser during Princess Peach's second abduction in that story.

===''Mario Discovery'' series===
====''Mario is Missing!''====
[[File:Marioismissing.png|thumb|A Koopa behind Luigi in ''Mario is Missing!'']]
Koopas accompany Bowser and the [[Koopalings|Koopa Kids]] to the real world during the events of the [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]], [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]], and [[Mario is Missing! (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']]. In this game, Bowser sends Koopas to different cities throughout [[Earth]], where they wreak havoc by stealing precious artifacts from various museums and national monuments. Before [[Luigi]] can advance through [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's castle]], he must return every missing artifact to its place. The Koopas in this game do not resist Luigi's attacks, and it is impossible to be hurt by them. When jumped on, the Koopas without artifacts disappear, while the ones carrying artifacts either explode, take off like a rocket, or disintegrate into dust. This disintegration was a style commonly used in cartoons, where the body of a creature turns to dust until only its eyes remain. The eyes blink once and then disappear.

====''Mario's Time Machine''====
In the [[Mario's Time Machine (PC)|PC]], [[Mario's Time Machine (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]], and [[Mario's Time Machine (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES versions of ''Mario's Time Machine'']], Koopas must be defeated so [[Mario]] can get an item and warp to other times in history. They behave identically to the Koopas in ''Mario is Missing!''. In the {{a|NES|l}} version, red-shelled Koopas are found in a ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]''-style arena to obtain the item, then yellow-shelled ones are found within the various time periods. Here, they act as they do in the main series, and are accompanied by [[Bodyslam Koopa]]s, heavyweight Koopa variants. On the [[moon]], Koopas wear [[Space Troopa|space helmet]]s, which cover the tops of their shells whenever they retract into them.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
{{quote|Usually a faithful underling of Bowser, it shows even the big boss no mercy during a race.|''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' manual, page 20}}
[[File:Koopa Troopa SMK artwork.jpg|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Super Mario Kart'', showing Koopa's default design]]
A Koopa Troopa first appears as a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', where he is a lightweight whose special item is a [[Koopa Shell]]. Koopa Troopa is one of the fastest characters with little traction in ''Super Mario Kart''. Though absent in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', ''Nintendo Power'', in punch-out cards, have suggested a rumor that Wario has stolen its kart on top of multiple driving infractions,<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' vol. 94|date=March 1997|language=en|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=114|quote=[Wario's driving history]: Too many infractions to list; in fact, his license has been revoked repeatedly for reckless driving. Rumored to have 'borrowed' his kart from an unsuspecting Koopa Troopa.}}</ref> though other characters have alleged records in driver's history such as Luigi's absence in ''Super Mario 64'' being due to his tinkering his kart and Yoshi's distributing [[Fake Item Box|counterfeit item boxes]]. Additionally, on page 6, there is fan art of a Koopa Troopa calling an officer alleging that Wario has stolen its kart.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', green and red Koopa Troopas can be seen at the awards ceremony at the end of a Grand Prix.

A green Koopa is playable in {{a|MKDD|l}}. Its special item is the [[Triple Green Shell]], and its personal kart is the [[Koopa Dasher]]. Koopa Troopa is partnered with a red [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] by default.

A green Koopa returns as a default playable character in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', where he is given an outstanding [[Mini-Turbo]] bonus that is rivaled by [[Dry Bowser]]'s, [[Dry Bones]]', and [[Wario]]'s. He also is given a small handling bonus and is given a representative course called [[Koopa Cape]], which is the second track of the [[Star Cup]].

Koopa Troopa is playable in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. He is a Feather class racer, with acceleration and off-road being his best stats. Additionally, his track, Koopa Cape, returns.

[[File:ShyGuyFallsMK8.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Koopa Troopa in ''Mario Kart 8'']]
Koopa Troopa returns as a default playable character in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. He is a lightweight character, although he is one of the heavier lightweights, meaning his speed and weight are slightly better than that of the lightest lightweights at the expense of acceleration, handling, and grip, making him more balanced. He has the same stats as [[Toad]], [[Toadette]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Lakitu]], [[Larry]], [[Wendy]], and [[Isabelle]]. Koopa Troopa also appears on some of the posters for the sponsor [[Galaxy Air]]. Koopa Troopa is the Normal Staff Ghost for {{classic link|DS|Cheep Cheep Beach}}.

Koopa Troopa appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a Normal-class driver. His special item is the [[Triple Green Shells]]. The [[Roving Racers]] from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' also appear as drivers in the game. Of note is that despite reusing the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' artwork, Koopa Troopa and all variants otherwise are depicted with very light turquoise eyes.
{{br}}

===''Yoshi's Safari''===
A Koopa is the penultimate boss of {{a|YSafari|l}}, fighting in [[Mecha Nokonoko]], and has a gun turret manned by four Koopa Troopas.
{{br}}

===''Hotel Mario''===
[[File:HMMortonsHotelStage2.png|thumb|A Koopa in ''Hotel Mario'']]
Koopa Troopas, known as '''Koopas''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Hotel Mario'' instruction book|page=15|date=1994|publisher=Philips|language=en}}</ref> are enemies in {{a|HM|l}} along with their varieties [[Koopa Paratroopa|Flying Koopa]]s, [[Dry Bones|Skeleton Koopa]]s, [[Mechakoopa|Mecha Koopa]]s, and a variant of Flying Koopas called [[Z Koopa]]s. In this game, Koopas open doors that Mario has to close. They can be defeated from either a stomp or a fireball attack.

In [[Larry's Chillton Hotel]], one of the spawning Koopas randomly has pink eyes, and will drop a [[candle|light]] that removes [[dark]]ness from the hotel. Additionally, the Koopas of [[Lemmy's High-ate Regency Hotel]] are red instead of green, possibly to differentiate from the green-shelled Flying Koopas; [[Bowser's Seizures Palace Hotel]] contains both green and red Koopas, depending on the stage. In this game, they are mere palette swaps.

===''Mario Tennis'' series===
A Koopa Troopa has appeared as a playable character in a few games of the [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'' series]], beginning with ''[[Mario's Tennis]]'', but have equally taken on the role of being background characters. In the {{a|N64|l}} version of {{id|MT|N64}}, Koopa Troopas only appear in [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]'s trophy celebration to congratulate him, as well as in the background of many courts. In {{a|MPT|l}}, Koopa is a playable character of the Speedy type, and his [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Offensive Power Shot]] and [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Defensive Power Shot]] are {{id|Water Bomb|move}} and [[Water Shell Dash]], respectively. Koopa Troopa's default partner is [[Yoshi]]. In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', Koopa Troopas are line judges in the [[Mushroom Valley]] court. In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', Koopa Troopa is an opponent in the Adventure Mode mission [[Battle Boat]]. He is also a playable character of the Speedy type, like in ''Mario Power Tennis''. Since an update on August 1, 2018, Koopa was made available to all players, although participants of the July 2018 online tournament could play as Koopa Troopa earlier. Unlike before, Koopa Troopa was made available in three color palettes: green, red, and blue.

Koopa appears in a few cutscenes of {{a|MPT}}. The opening cutscene shows a Koopa briefly seen using its tennis racket to deflect Bob-ombs headed towards [[Peach Dome]]. In his trophy ceremony from completing a Singles Tournament, Koopa walks on stage, being greeted by Luigi, Mario, and Peach, but he soon slips on a banana peel and slides across the stage, eventually hitting Luigi, whom he catches the trophy from.

===''Mario Clash''===
Koopas are the only way to defeat enemies such as [[Thorny|Thornies]] in {{a|MC|l}}, by hitting it with a [[Koopa Shell|Koopa shell]]. There are always two Koopas; if one Koopa falls off a cliff another will appear. They once again walk on four legs, and sometimes make a fanged "menacing" face that is identical to the one used by the related Shellcreepers in ''Mario Bros.''

===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
[[File:YIKoopa.jpg|thumb|upright=0.55|A Koopa Troopa from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'']]
Green and red varieties of Koopa Troopas do appear as enemies in {{a|SMW2YI|l}}, but not that often. They are first seen in the level [[Visit Koopa And Para-Koopa]]. Koopa Troopas can be knocked out of their shells, like in {{a|SMW}}. A red Koopa Troopa named [[Hookbill the Koopa]] serves as one of the bosses, beginning as a regular-sized Koopa Troopa before growing to a significantly larger four-legged Koopa Troopa.

Koopa Troopas and Para-Koopas reappear in both sequels, {{a|YIDS|l}} and {{a|YNI|l}}, having the same role as before. The Koopa Troopas of {{a|YIDS}} resemble their design from {{a|SMW2YI}}, the only difference being a much lighter outline and a slight increase in size, while Koopa Troopas in {{a|YNI}} resemble their usual design from other appearances around the time.

===Mario's FUNdamentals===
Koopas, as they are simply referred to, appear as a suit of playing cards in Go Fish in ''[[Mario's FUNdamentals]]''. They are also used as Mario's pieces in Checkers, and Koopas and their shells are used to count points in Backgammon.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
Koopa Troopas are absent from {{a|SMRPG|l}}, having been seemingly replaced by armored Koopa Troopas named [[Terrapin]]s. Despite this, many Paratroopas appear, including the [[Big Troopa]] and [[Grand Troopa]]. One of Mario's weapons is the Koopa Shell. There is also the [[Paratroopa Shell]], which is a red, winged shell belonging to a Paratroopa.

===''Mario Party'' series===
Beginning with ''[[Mario Party]]'', Koopa Troopa's most frequent role in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] has been the proprietor of the [[Koopa Bank]] or the [[Koopa Bank Capsule]], a location which both gives and takes [[coin]]s to and from the players. A Koopa Troopa appears as Mario's starting partner in Battle Mode in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. Throughout the series, they also appear as background characters in boards and minigames.
====''Mario Party''====
[[File:MarioPartyKoopa.png|thumb|upright=0.55|A Koopa Troopa in the original ''Mario Party'']]
Koopa Troopas award a player ten [[coin]]s each time they pass the starting point in {{a|MP|l}}, unless the [[No Koopa]] item is active. Four Koopa Troopas are in the {{id|Shell Game|minigame}}, where the player has to find which of them has the treasure,<ref>{{cite|author=Game Rules|title={{a|MP|l}}|date=1998|publisher=Nintendo|language=en|quote=Find the Koopa Troopa that has the treasure.}}</ref> containing [[coin]]s.

====''Mario Party 2''====
[[File:RedKoopaMP.png|thumb|upright=0.5|left|A Koopa in ''Mario Party 2'']]
A Koopa Troopa appears in the introduction of {{a|MP2|l}}, trying to warn the characters of Bowser's attack. One Koopa Troopa hosts the [[Koopa Bank]], and another one hosts the [[Item Shop]] in this game. In [[Tile Driver]], one of the pictures that sometimes needs to be made is a Koopa Troopa. A Koopa Troopa is attacked by Bowser at the end of each board, and the winning player rescues him before facing Bowser.

====''Mario Party 3''====
A Koopa Troopa is Mario's starting partner in Battle Mode in {{a|MP3|l}}. Koopa Troopa has one attack and two HP, and its salary is one coin. They also host the [[Koopa Bank]] once again. Koopa Troopas, along with Goombas and Boos appear in the minigame [[Curtain Call]], where the players need to memorize the order in which the Koopa Troopas, Boos, and Goombas appear. In the minigame [[Slot Synch]], getting a Koopa Troopa on the [[Dice Block]] will give a team two points. In [[Three Door Monty]], the players needs to answer which door the Koopa Troopa, Boo, or Toad enters. The player who answers the fastest wins.

====''Mario Party 4''====
[[File:MP4 title screen.png|thumb|Koopa's appearance in ''Mario Party 4'']]
A {{id|Koopa Troopa|MP4}} hosts the [[Koopa's Seaside Soiree]] and the option room in {{a|MP4|l}}. Koopa Troopas also appear in the following [[minigame]]s: [[Paratrooper Plunge]], where the characters have to avoid red [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopas]], [[GOOOOOOOAL!!]] as a member of the crowd, and as an unlockable character in the [[Beach Volley Folley]] minigame.

====''Mario Party 5''====
The Koopa Bank returns in {{a|MP5|l}}. Two Koopa Troopas exit a church at the start of the {{id|Flower Shower|minigame}} minigame, with the red Koopa Troopa throwing a bouquet up in the sky, leaving players to collect as many within the time limit. A Koopa Troopa is next to the 90-foot marker in the minigame {{id|Triple Jump|minigame}}. Koopa Troopas also appear in the background in [[Random Ride]].

====''Mario Party 6''====
Koopa Troopas host many of the events at [[Faire Square]] in {{a|MP6|l}}. They are in the background of both [[Odd Card Out]] and [[Lab Brats]]. Koopa Troopas also take care of the Orb Shops during the day, while [[Shy Guy]]s take care of it during the night.

====''Mario Party Advance''====
[[File:MPA Koopa Character Screenshot.png|thumb]]
{{quote|G-good heavens! I've been robbed! Please, won't you help a Koopa out?|Koopa|[[Mario Party Advance]]}}
Koopa runs the {{id|Koopa Bank|MPA}} in {{id|Shroom City|MPA}} in {{a|MPA}}. He is stated to do a lot of cleaning.<ref>{{cite|author=Description|title={{a|MPA}}|date=2005|publisher=Nintendo|language=en|quote=An all-business chap who just can't stop cleaning.}}</ref> When approached, Koopa informs the player that he has been robbed.<ref>{{cite|author=Koopa|date=2005|title={{a|MPA}}|quote=G-good heavens!

Of the three culprits at the bank at the time, either [[Goombob]], [[Mr. I]], and [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]], the thief is revealed to be Paratroopa. At this reveal, Koopa is shocked, since Paratroopa is his cousin, but Paratroopa soon flies in to say that it was only a prank.<ref>{{cite|author=Paratroopa|quote=It was just a joke. Sorry about that.|title={{a|MPA}}|publisher=Nintendo|date=2005|language=en}}</ref> Koopa then asks Shroomlock not to arrest him,<ref>{{cite|author=Koopa|date=2005|title={{a|MPA}}|quote=...Detective, could you let Paratroopa go?|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> having not intended any harm, and Shroomlock obliges.

Koopa is stated in the end credits to often swaps jobs with Paratroopa.

Koopa Troopas also appear in the minigames [[Floor It!]], as one of the species to take to their respective floors, and [[Watch 'Em]], where the player has to guess which of the three [[Warp Pipe]]s has a Koopa Troopa.

====''Mario Party 7''====
Koopa Troopas run the Orb Shops of [[Pagoda Peak]] and [[Windmillville]] in {{a|MP7|l}}. Pagoda Peak also has a Koopa Troopa named [[Koopa Master]] at the top of the peak, where players can buy stars from him

====''Mario Party 8''====
A notable Koopa Troopa named [[Holly Koopa]] gives out money at [[Shy Guy's Perplex Express]] in exchange for candy when a player lands on her [[Green Space]] in {{a|MP8|l}}. In [[Star Battle Arena]], players must get 50 coins to her to win the match, and some other Koopa Troopas are seen occupying the seats. Koopa Troopas also have their own board named after them in [[Koopa's Tycoon Town]]. Koopa Troopas are found nearly everywhere in this board from being '''Koopa Bellboys''' to sitting on park benches. Some also act as taxis to get places. A Koopa Troopa is the main baker in the minigame {{id|Sugar Rush|minigame}}. Other minigames they are in include {{id|Picture Perfect|minigame}}, where a flying Red Shell is one of the pictures, a cameo in [[Blazing Lassos]] and [[Breakneck Building]], an enemy in [[Specter Inspector]], audiences in [[Fruit Picker]], [[Pour to Score]], {{id|Stampede|minigame}}, a biker in [[Moped Mayhem]], and lastly the proprietor in the Surprise Wagon and the music maker in the Carnival Calliope.

====''Mario Party DS''====
[[File:Koopa Krag.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Koopa Krag and Koopa]]
A lone Koopa Troopa named Koopa, along with his grandfather, [[Koopa Krag]], have major roles in {{a|MPDS|l}}. At [[Kamek's Library]], he asks the player characters to help free Koopa Krag, who had been trapped in a book by [[Kamek]]. Following Kamek's defeat and Koopa Krag being freed, the characters earn the fourth [[Sky Crystal]]. There is also an unlockable figure and badge of Koopa.

====''Mario Party 9''====
[[File:MP9 Koopa Troopa Artwork.png|thumb|upright=0.55|Artwork of Koopa in ''Mario Party 9'']]
A Koopa Troopa (simply referred to as "Koopa") appears as a starting playable character in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. Koopa is available by default in Solo mode; thus, unlike [[Shy Guy]] and [[Magikoopa]], he will not run away with the player's [[Mini Star]]s if he wins a board in this mode, making ''Mario Party 9'' one of the games where Koopa is not allied with the Koopa Troop. His default partner in this game is Toad.

Some other Koopa Troopas also appear in several minigames. There is a constellation of a Koopa Troopa's shell called "Speedy Shell," purchasable at the Museum for 50 Points.

====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Koopa Troopas are interactable characters in {{a|MPIT|l}}. Their minigame roles include being inside of a bubble in [[Spin the Bubble]], tiles in the minigames [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]], and as a constellation in [[Starring Artist]].

====''Mario Party 10''====
Koopa Troopas are non-playable characters in {{a|MP10|l}}, appearing in some minigames and the [[Mario Board]].

====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
Koopa Troopas are again minor characters in {{a|MPSR|l}}. They appear in a few minigames, such as in [[Pop Quiz]] where they are selectable enemies in a few questions.

====''Mario Party: The Top 100''====
Koopa Troopas also appear in {{a|MPTT100|l}}, reprising their roles in the minigames [[Three Door Monty]], [[GOOOOOOOAL!!]], [[Dinger Derby]], {{id|Triple Jump|minigame}}, {{id|Ice Hockey|minigame}}, [[Slot Trot]], [[Dart Attack]], [[Jigsaw Jumble]], and [[Soar to Score]]. They also replace the Shy Guys in [[Blame It on the Crane]]. A Koopa Troopa amiibo can be scanned for bonus coins in Minigame Island, and a stamp of it can be collected in Minigame Match.

====''Super Mario Party''====

A Koopa Troopa is playable in {{a|SMP|l}}. His special [[Dice Block]], the [[Super Mario Party#Koopa Troopa Dice Block|Koopa Troopa Dice Block]], can roll 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, or 10. Red Koopa Troopas also appear as non-playable characters found in the background of some minigames.

As the game progresses and more [[Gem (Super Mario Party)|Gems]] are collected, a Koopa Troopa can be seen leading a cheer squad to root for the lead player in their journey.

On the game's official website, the playable Koopa Troopa was erroneously listed as Koopa Trooper.<ref>{{file link|Koopa-Trooper-SMP.jpg|Screenshot of the ''Super Mario Party'' official website}}</ref> This has since been fixed.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Koopa Troopa}}
Koopa Troopas have appeared in every game of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. They first appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', but only in the background of the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage. 
{{multiframe|[[File:KoopaGreen-SSE.png|200px]] [[File:KoopaRed-SSE.png|200px]]|The green and red Koopa Troopas from the Subspace Emissary|size=420|align=right}}
Koopa Troopas most prominently appear as enemies in the single-player campaigns throughout the series. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Koopa Troopas appear in the first stage of {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode (SSBM)|Adventure Mode}}, [[Mushroom Kingdom (Adventure Mode)|Mushroom Kingdom]], though they can also uncommonly from a {{iw|smashwiki|Party Ball}} during regular matches. Unlike in the ''Super Mario'' games, green Koopa Troopas will turn around when reaching a ledge. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Koopa Troopas serve as part of [[Bowser]]'s army in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], and they are encountered as enemies in certain stages. In one part, a Koopa had stolen [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[banana hoard]], so the two [[Kong]]s face off against several Koopa Troopas on a brief quest to retrieve their bananas. In one cutscene, Donkey Kong is shown to be able to break a Koopa's [[Koopa Shell|shell]] using his fist, which cannot occur during gameplay. Later on, Diddy Kong, [[Fox|Fox McCloud]], and [[Falco Lombardi]] also fight some Koopa Troopas while searching for the kidnapped Donkey Kong. Koopa Troopas are last seen being used by Bowser to attack {{iw|wikirby|Castle Dedede}} in order to steal the [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] that he had amassed. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', Koopa Troopas appear as enemies in {{iw|smashwiki|Smash Run}}, behaving the same as their Subspace Emissary counterparts.

Koopa Troopas have also appeared in the form of various collectible items. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', there is a collectible trophy of a green Koopa Troopa. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', there are two collectible trophies of a Koopa Troopa, colored green and red respectively, as well as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] depicting the Koopa Troopa artwork from ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', there is a green Koopa Troopa trophy, and the Nintendo 3DS version exclusively also has a red Koopa Troopa trophy. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', there is a Novice type support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] of a green Koopa Troopa, taking one slot and equipping the fighter with a [[Green Shell]] at the start of a battle when used. In its spirit battle, the player faces [[Squirtle]] on the [[Golden Plains]] stage. The spirit's core can be used with an {{iw|starfywiki|Old Man Lobber}} core and a support core to summon {{iw|nookipedia|Tortimer}}'s spirit.

A Koopa Troopa was one of the requested playable characters for ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult3.html|title=アンケート集計拳!!|language=ja|publisher=www.nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=July 6, 2024}}</ref>

===''Mario Golf'' series===
[[File:MasterStingerMGSR.png|thumb|250px|Master Stinger talks to train the player's [[Mii]]]]
Koopa Troopas have appeared in various ways throughout the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]]. In the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'', hole 10 of [[Mario's Star (golf course)|Mario's Star]] is shaped like a Koopa Troopa. In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', a green Koopa makes its playable debut, having the best Impact and Control, but the worst drive distance out of the characters. In the game's opening movie, Koopa is seen playing and then napping alongside [[Yoshi]]. Koopa Troopa has the best Impact and Control of any character, but he has the worst drive distance out of any character. In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', Koopa Troopas are non-playable characters in the [[Castle Club]] mode, and Koopa is one of the names that can appear on the tournament scoreboard. In ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', Koopa Troopas appear in the [[Bonny Greens]] practice area and the [[Rookie Course]]. There are also two master Koopa Troopas called [[Master Lob]] and the [[Master Stinger]], respectively, and also appears as the Manager along with the [[Boomerang Bro|Head Coach]]. Starting from ''Mario Golf: Super Rush''{{'}}s version 3.0.0 update, a Koopa Troopa was added as a playable character, and his [[Special Shot (Mario Golf: Super Rush)|Special Shot]] is the Shell Skipper, which can bounce the ball further down the hole. Participating in certain online tournaments allows the player to unlock red, blue, and yellow alternate colors for the Koopa Troopa.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:Koopa No Shell.png|frame|left]]
Koopa Troopas are featured as both enemies and allies in {{a|PM|l}}. The Koopa Troopas under Bowser's command have red shells, a pair of sunglasses, and spiked black armbands and collars similar to Bowser; they aid him in his plot to kidnap [[Princess Peach]].

In battle, they can withdraw into their shells and shoot themselves at [[Mario]]; they are capable of doing this outside of battle as well, and are generally the first enemy Mario encounters that can get a [[First Strike]] on him. Koopa Troopas are also the first foes encountered by Mario and company that have a defense stat of more than 0 - however, their defense can be reduced to 0 if they are flipped onto their backs with a Jump attack.

A population of peaceful Koopa Troopas is found in [[Koopa Village]]. At one point, the town is overrun by [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]], who steal the shells off most of the Koopas, including [[Kooper's Shell|the shell]] of [[Kooper]]; after Mario and [[Goombario]] get rid of them, they become quite popular in the village, and Kooper joins Mario's party to aid him in his adventure. Later on, the residents of Koopa Village even send a [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Koopa Troopas|letter]] to Mario, thanking him and apologizing for not rewarding him before.

[[Jr. Troopa]] is a baby Koopa Troopa who Mario encounters early in the game when he attacks Mario for intruding on his playground. Upon his defeat, he then constantly follows Mario and his allies to pick fights and seek revenge. He also makes a very small cameo in the sequel ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

Koopa Paratroopas also appear as enemies; stomping on them removes their wings and reverts them to Koopa Troopas. ''Paper Mario'' also introduces a stronger variant called the [[Dark Koopa]], as well as the spiky armored [[Koopatrol]], which are similar to Terrapins.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Koopa Troopas are both enemies and non-playable characters in {{a|PMTTYD|l}}. Enemy Koopas retain their red shells and accessories, but many of them are not under Bowser's command, unlike before. Peaceful Koopas often (but not always) wear green shells, and generally appear in [[Petalburg]].

One of the residents, [[Koops]], joins Mario and [[Goombella]] on their quest in hopes of fighting [[Hooktail]] to avenge his 'dead' father, [[Koopley]] (who is revealed to have been alive in the dragon's stomach). A heroic Koopa Troopa is said to be one of the original four heroes who defeated the [[Shadow Queen]]; his spirit is encountered in a [[black chest]] in [[Pirate's Grotto]].

Koopa Troopas are first seen as enemies in [[Petal Meadows]], appearing on the [[Path to Shhwonk Fortress]]. They also appear in [[Hooktail Castle]], where they are fought with or alongside [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopas]], and rarely in [[Rogueport Underground]] after completing Chapter 5, where they may appear alongside an encountered [[Hammer Bro]], [[Koopatrol]], or [[Magikoopa]]. Their stats are almost identical to those in the previous game, except that their shell attack now has a power of 2; as usual, they are the first enemy with defense to appear in the game.

During the intermission platforming stages where Bowser becomes playable, he may encounter the same Koopa Troopas that Mario fights, but they will run away from Bowser when he approaches.

Dark Koopas return, and new variants are introduced: the [[KP Koopa]] is a yellow-shelled Koopa with the same stats as normal Koopas, while the [[Shady Koopa]] can attack Mario even while flipped on its back. Each of them also has a Paratroopa variant. Koopatrols also return and gain a [[Dark Koopatrol|dark variant]].

====''Super Paper Mario''====
{{multiframe

|A good and bad Koopa Troopa from ''Super Paper Mario''

}}
Koopa Troopas reappear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where their color schemes are a bit different: enemy Koopas may now appear wearing either green or red shells and will walk off ledges or turn around depending on their shell color as in the main series of platformers. Koopas do not have as much Defense as previous appearances and only have 1 HP - but they are generally harder to defeat since stomping on them will cause them to retreat inside their shells. Mario and company can defeat one using {{id|Boomer|SPM}}, [[Cudge]], or certain items, as well as another Koopa's shell. Koopatrols make another appearance, along with a new soccer-based variant known as the [[Koopa Striker]]; both also have dark variants.

The Koopa Troopas under Bowser's control are not as hostile towards Mario, and even attempt to save [[Princess Peach]] from [[Count Bleck]], but they still attack the player, including as Bowser. Koopa Troopas appear as enemies in many locations: [[Lineland Road]] (1-1), [[Mount Lineland]] (1-2), [[Gloam Valley]] (2-1), [[The Bitlands]] (3-1), [[The Dotwood Tree]] (3-3), [[Castle Bleck Entry]] (8-1), [[Castle Bleck Foyer]] (8-2), [[Castle Bleck Inner Sanctum]] (8-4). They are found within the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] in rooms 11, 14, 16, and 19. One of the Koopas in the Bitlands becomes a [[Mega Koopa]] upon making contact with a [[Mega Star]]. Another named [[Private Koopa]] appears along with a [[Hammer Bro captain|specific Hammer Bro]] after Chapter 1, helping escort [[Princess Peach]] until they find a dead-end, where Private Koopa gets brainwashed.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
[[File:KoopaShellSticker.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Mario summoning a Koopa Troopa through the [[Shell (sticker)|Shell]] sticker to defeat a set of enemies in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'']] 
Koopa Troopas return in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. Their beaks are now flat instead of curved, and their eyes are slightly smaller and more oval-shaped. These Koopa Troopas no longer wear sunglasses, and [[Shell]] [[sticker]]s (both normal and Shiny) allow Mario to call in friendly Koopas for assistance; regular Shell stickers summoning green Koopa Troopas, while Shiny Shell stickers summon red Koopa Troopas. Koopa Troopas attack by folding into shells and ramming into Mario; the attack deals more damage than in previous games, and occasionally inflicts the [[dizzy]] status. Using a Tail Sticker can reliably defeat them. Koopa Troopas can be beaten with a First Strike without battling once the player has obtained six [[MAX UP Heart|HP-Up Heart]]s. There are two varieties: the [[Mural Koopa]], an animated depiction of an ancient Koopa Troopa that walks on all fours, and the [[Shiny Koopa]], a Shiny version of the normal Koopa that does more damage and has more defense.
{{br}}

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
[[File:PMCS Koopa Troopa dancing 2.png|thumb|upright=0.66|A dancing Red Koopa Troopa]]
Green Koopa Troopas and red Koopa Paratroopas appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' as enemies. When a Koopa Paratroopa is jumped on, it loses its wings and becomes a normal red Koopa Troopa.

Koopa Troopas appear as enemies in the following locations: [[Ruddy Road]], [[Cherry Lake]], [[Bloo Bay Beach]], [[The Golden Coliseum]], [[Vortex Island]], [[Lighthouse Island]], [[Fortune Island]], and [[Green Energy Plant]]. A variant of Koopa Troopa known as [[Koopa Troopa 6-Stack]]s appear in Lighthouse Island and Green Energy Plant.

In the [[parallel world]] of Vortex Island, after Mario squeezes the Washing Machine, a Koopa Troopa is third in the line of enemies that attack Mario in retaliation for their lost laundry. In [[Dark Bloo Inn]], another Koopa Troopa is part of the [[Shady Sledge Bro]]'s gang. A Koopa Troopa serves as the third-round opponent in [[Roshambo Temple#Roshambo Temple #1|Roshambo Temple #1]]; after defeating [[Morton|Morton Koopa Jr.]], it will be replaced with the [[Rock Paper Wizard]] until they are beaten.

Koopa Troopas attack by pulling into their shells and ramming Mario as usual, doing 7 HP of damage. When a Koopa Troopa is jumped on, it will go into its shell - if attacked again, it will be kicked into the enemies behind it; if there is a wall behind them, it will bounce back and hit Mario. They will be knocked onto their shells if a [[POW Block]] is used. If summoned into battle using an Enemy Card, a Koopa will use a Shell Shot attack to deal 21 damage to all grounded enemies, similarly to the Shell sticker from the previous game. The shell will bounce off of any walls, dealing a second hit to the enemies but also damaging Mario. Enemies can also send the Koopa's shell flying towards Mario if they use jump attacks on the Koopa between turns.

Some Koopa Troopas appear as NPCs in levels such as [[The Golden Coliseum]] and the [[Sunset Express]]. Three green and three red Koopa Troopas dance in [[Birdo]]'s concert at [[Plum Park]].

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
{{quote|We'd go try to stop him, but, y'know... We're Koopa Troopas. What are we gonna do? Walk into him slowly?|Koopa Troopa|Paper Mario: The Origami King}}
Koopa Troopas appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' as members of the [[Folded Soldiers]], giant [[Paper Macho Soldier]]s, and ordinary paper Koopa Troopas. In [[Picnic Road]], the Koopa Troopas are shown worshipping the [[Earth Vellumental]] as a deity.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:MLSS Bowser Baddie Sprite.png|frame|left]]
Koopa Troopas appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' in the crew of the [[Koopa Cruiser]],<ref name="SS">{{cite|quote=Hey! You! Are you signing up to join my crew of Bowser Baddies?|author=Bowser|title=''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''|publisher=Nintendo|date=2003|language=en}}</ref> and are introduced alongside the ship by [[Bowser]]. The crew are referred to as part of his overall [[Bowser's Minions|"Bowser Baddies"]] in the English version of the game,<ref>“Bowser Baddies!” Bowser, ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''</ref> while the Japanese version refers to them as part of the [[Bowser's Minions|"Koopa Corps"]].<ref>{{cite|quote=「クッパ軍団 集合!」|author=[[Bowser|Kuppa]]|title=''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|Mario & Luigi: RPG]]''}}</ref>

Before boarding the Koopa Cruiser, a lost Koopa in the crew is found in [[Toad Town|Toadtown Square]] who asks [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] where assembly area is. When the Mario Bros. reach the assembly area where the Koopa Cruiser is stationed, Bowser calls for the crew’s assembly to no response. Moments later the crew arrive and begin boarding. Once all the Koopas and [[Goomba]]s have boarded the Koopa Cruiser and are in flight above the skies of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], the crew teach the Mario Bros. information on how to maneuver. 

[[File:MLSS Koopa Cruiser Photography.png|thumb|right|[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] having passport photos taken by the crew.]]
On the first section of the Cruiser explored, a Koopa in the crew informs the Mario Bros. that Bowser’s forces recently added a new member who is in training. A pair of crew Koopas teach the Mario Bros. how to jump together, while another pair teach the Bros. how to switch places in line. Before the Mario Bros. leave the section, another pair teach them how to use a [[Bros. Block]] by jumping beneath it in an alternating pattern. In the next section, a [[photographer]] Koopa informs the Mario Bros. that they need passport photos to enter the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] after inspecting their suitcase. The photographer offers to take their photo but warns them not to do any silly poses, but the player can by pressing any direction on the directional pad. Three other Koopas in the crew are also present waiting in line for their photos to be taken. If the Mario Bros. pointed the lost Koopa from Toadtown Square in the right direction, he offers them a [[Super Mushroom]] while organizing crates at the end of the section. At the next section over, a crew Koopa tells the Mario Bros. to be careful after they break a barrel. He then trains them how to fight as a pair against the Goombas stored in cargo (in the original, if the player tries to skip the tutorial on how to fight as a pair, the Koopa will run in, saying that Bowser would get mad if he doesn't teach them). After the training, another Koopa in the crew is struggling to barrel disobedient Goombas. He teaches the Mario Bros. how to start off battles by stomping on enemies and drops barrels on the Goombas after the Bros. subdue them. In the subsequent section, three more in the crew are met by the Mario Bros. One of them informs of the importance of reading signs and the other complains about the barrels blocking the way to the bridge. The third tells the Mario Bros. that hitting the [[! Block]] will activate a crane that moves cargo, dubbed [[Pinch Crane|"Mr. Pinch"]].<ref>“Hitting that block there activates the Pinch Crane. I like to call it Mr. Pinch. Don't ask me why.” ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''</ref> After the Bros. activate the block, "Mr. Pinch" picks up Luigi instead of the cargo, the Koopa comments on the mistake and suggests he be used as a lookout. On the upper deck of the ship, a crew member informs Bowser that they will soon be passing over the border.

[[File:MLSSBM-KoopaTroopa.png|frame|left]]
After the Koopa Cruiser is destroyed by [[Fawful]], three surviving Koopas in the crew are found wounded before the border in [[Stardust Fields]]. One of them states that they haven’t finished paying off the Koopa Cruiser. Another asks the Mario Bros. to find Bowser and calls out for help. The last one encountered informs the Mario Bros. that Bowser fell on the other side of the border.

Koopa Troopas also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where they additionally appear as enemies and recruitable allies exclusively in ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]''. They are melee troopers and attack by ramming into opponents in their shells. Their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]], Rock Solid, allows them to increase their defense. [[Captain Koopa Troopa]] appears as a usable captain. Koopa Troopas are weak against Dry Bones.

Although no normal Koopa Troopas can be fought in the ''Superstar Saga'' story mode, Beanish variants named [[Troopea]]s are enemies. They have further variations, including [[Paratroopea]]s.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:PiT Koopa Troopa.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the crew of the [[Koopa Cruiser]] from the past, also referred to as personnel,<ref name="PIT">{{cite|quote=This is the great Prince Bowser! Kneel, minions! OK, now get up! All personnel to the bridge!|author=Baby Bowser on the Koopa Cruiser's PA system|title=''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''}}</ref> help teach [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] how to maneuver. They also act as a resistance to the [[Shroob]] invasion, by repelling [[Shroob saucer]]s and offering to rescue villagers.
[[File:MLPiT KoopaCruiserInterior.png|thumb|right|The crew piloting the [[Koopa Cruiser]] with [[Baby Bowser]] as captain.]]
At the first section of the Cruiser, a Koopa in the crew tells the baby Mario Bros. to head to the bridge where [[Baby Bowser]] awaits and instructs them to demonstrate their jumps. The next crew member tells the Mario Bros. to run and jump to make it over the crates. Another informs them that [[M Block]]s only respond to Baby Mario and [[L Block]]s only respond to Baby Luigi. A crew Koopa standing before the bridge warns them that anything can happen because they’re babies. On the bridge, three are seen piloting the Koopa Cruiser. They fire the Koopa Cannon to destroy three pursuing Shroob saucers at the orders of Baby Bowser. They become distracted in praising him and briefly lose control of the Cruiser and are scolded. They inform Baby Bowser that villagers in [[Hollijolli Village]] are under attack by Shroobs on the ground. After relenting to [[Baby Peach]] crying, Baby Bowser orders them fire the Koopa Cannon again on the Shroobs. After firing a shot which disorients the Shroobs, they land the Koopa Cruiser to deploy the baby Mario Bros.

Once the adult Mario and Luigi have been brought aboard the Koopa Cruiser's bridge, the crew reports on a transmission from [[Shroob Castle]] and the alarms sound. They put the transmission on the bridge’s monitor revealing [[Princess Shroob]]. After hearing threats in her language, they warn that a [[Shroob missile]] is approaching the Cruiser from her castle. Baby Bowser orders them to fire the Koopa Cannon again to which the crew responds that they have no ammo left. The missile hits the Koopa Cruiser, sending the ship and its crew crash landing into [[Bowser's Castle]].

A reporter named [[Kylie Koopa]] also makes an appearance in the game. A variation called the [[Koopeleon]] also appears in the game. Koopa Paratroopa signs can be held by [[Handfake]]s.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
As opposed to the past two games, standard Koopa Troopas make an appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. In [[Blubble Lake]], [[Bowser]] rescues a group of Koopa Troopas from a cage and is able to use them as a [[Special Attack (Bowser)|Special Attack]] called [[Koopa Corps]], where he spins his shell and rebounds Koopa Troopas (which go into their shells) onto enemies. Koopa Troopas are also some of the characters that are seen inhabiting [[Bowser's Castle]]. [[Dark Bowser]] creates dark variations on Koopa Troopas for one of his attacks.

Multiple Koopa Paratroopas appear, including the [[Koopa Paratroopa Trio]] and [[Corporal Paraplonk]].

Red and green Koopa Troopas return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where they additionally are found as enemies in the ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' mode. Green Koopa Troopas have the Special Skill Mega Tackle, while red Koopa Troopas have the Special Skill Charging Champ and are strong against all four [[Para-Biddybud]] variants. Captain Koopa Troopa returns with the Special Skill DEF Up, though he does not have the role of captain in gameplay. All of the aforementioned Koopa Troopas are weak to Dry Bones, pink [[Shy Guy]]s and [[Spike]]s. A green Koopa Troopa appears alongside a [[Scutlet (enemy)|Scutlet]] to stop [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]] from progressing, only to be defeated and freed from the brainwashing.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', Koopa Troopas make a cameo appearance in Mario and Luigi's fight against Bowser Jr., as part of the audience alongside Shy Guys and Goombas. Kylie Koopa also makes a reappearance. As for Paratroopas, Corporal Paraplonk reappears and [[Dreamy Bowser]] can create [[Dreamy Paratroopa]]s.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Koopa Troopas and their [[Paper Koopa Troopa|paper counterparts]] appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as enemies. They appear in [[Twinsy Tropics]], and one is fought alongside a Paper Koopa Troopa, a [[Goomba]] and a [[Paper Goomba]] in [[Neo Bowser Castle]] as one of Bowser's last lines of defense. In battle, Koopa Troopas attack by going into its shell and flinging itself at Mario and Luigi in a circular manner, and if stomped will hit another enemy involved in the battle. They can also attack a single bro, its target being the one it is going in the opposite direction off, and must be countered with the hammer, at which point it will turn into an [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|unshelled Koopa]] and can get counterattacked repeatedly. This marks the first time in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series where normal Koopa Troopas have appeared as enemies, as previous installments only have different species of Koopa Troopas as enemies. [[Paper Paratroopa]]s are also enemies.

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
Koopa Troopas appear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', found in [[Offandon Island]] and [[Bowser's Castle]]. One Koopa Troopa can retreat into its shell while another kicks the Koopa Troopa at Mario or Luigi, which must be jumped over. If the kicking Koopa Troopa spins, the shell moves slower and goes for the brother the kicking Koopa Troopa was not facing. If Mario or Luigi jump on the Koopa Troopa shell, they can kick it at other enemies like when using the Green Shell Bros. Attack, although Mario or Luigi take damage if they miss a kick. On their own, a Koopa Troopa can retreat into its shell and charge at a brother, who must counter with the hammer and damages another enemy if successful.

Red shelled Koopa Troopas appear as NPCs, although only green shelled Koopa Troopas are fought in battle. Blue shelled Koopa Troopas also appear during Bowser's speech on Offandon Island.

===''Mario Pinball Land''===
Blue Koopa Troopas (referred to as Koopas)<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' issue 185|page=116|date=November 2004|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en|date=2004|title=''Mario Pinball Land'' instruction booklet|page=25|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. They are encountered in two areas of the [[Grassy Greens Stage]]. Hitting a Koopa Troopa causes it to temporarily fall backward on its shell, and hitting it again while it is in that position defeats it and awards 2,000 [[point]]s. In both areas, defeating all the Koopa Troopas yields the player a [[Power Star|Star]].

===''Yakuman DS''===
[[File:KoopaYDS.png|thumb|left|Koopa Troopa in ''Yakuman DS'']]
Koopa Troopa is an opponent in ''[[Yakuman DS]]''. He frequently melds/declares his tiles and he is a bit harder than Shy Guy and Goomba. His default rank is 16.

===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===
[[File:DDRMMKoopa.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|The instructions on how to defeat a Koopa in ''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix'']]
In ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'' they are messing around with [[Lakitu]]'s farm. Stomping a Koopa twice defeats it, with the latter requiring a perfect step. When defeated, Lakitu gives Mario/Luigi the [[Key]] to the [[Truffle Towers]].
{{br|left}}

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Koopas, as they are simply called, are featured as enemies in {{a|SPP|l}}, being based on their appearance in the ''{{id|Super Mario|series|Super Mario}}'' series but using their design from the ''{{id|Yoshi's Island|series}}'' series. Besides the green and red types, the game adds two varieties: [[Mad Green Koopa]]s and [[Glad Red Koopa]]s. [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopas]] also appear with two [[Vibe]] variants.

===''Mario Baseball'' series===
Koopa Troopas appear as team players in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', along with ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Only two colors are playable, both of them being green and red variants. In both games, the Koopa Troopas has good [[chemistry]] with [[Bowser]], [[Koopa Paratroopa]] and [[Dry Bones]].

In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', the green Koopa Troopa is a balanced type player, but its pitching is slightly weak. The red Koopa Troopa sacrifices some speed to enhance its batting skills. Koopas can also been seen as spectators at Mario Stadium, especially during the opening cinematic.

In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', both Koopa Troopas have good batting and running skills. However, their pitching and fielding skills are weak. In addition to having good chemistry with Bowser, Koopa Paratroopa, and Dry Bones, they also have good chemistry with [[Bowser Jr.]] They are one of the few characters in the game to not have bad chemistry with any characters. In the cinematic that plays after defeating Bowser in Challenge Mode, a Koopa is briefly seen celebrating with the other characters before the fleet marches towards the entrance of the Baseball Kingdom, looking towards the sunset until the lights turn on for the night.

===''Mario Strikers'' series===
In the [[Mario Strikers (series)|''Mario Strikers'' series]], Koopa Troopas are sidekick characters in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. Depending on which team captain is selected, the colors of a Koopa may vary regarding its skin, shell, and uniform. In ''Mario Strikers Charged'', a Koopa Troopa's skin color for all variants remains yellow, and their shells are overlapped with pieces of armor.

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
Koopa Troopas make various non-playable appearances in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]]. During the opening sequence of the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', Koopa Troopas appear as cameramen during the [[Archery (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Wii)|Archery]] and [[High Jump (event)|High Jump]] events, even though they go unseen in the playable events themselves. Additionally, Koopa Troopas appear as spectators within the crowds throughout the game. A Koopa Troopa appears as a referee in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', a pair of Koopa Troopas appear as one of the opponents in [[Event]]s that require pairs of characters to be used, but the Koopa Troopas are never seen competing in the events.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
[[File:YWW Koopa Troopa.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|A Koopa Troopa from ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
Red Koopa Troopas reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and its [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|port]]. When a Red [[Koopa Paratroopa]] is hit with a yarn ball, it will turn into a Red Koopa Troopa.
8-bit Koopa Shells can sometimes be found in walls with strings. When Yoshi licks the strings, the Koopa Shell will come out and it can be used as a normal shell.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
Koopa Troopas appear in green, red, and yellow varieties in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''.
====Green Koopa Troopa====
[[File:PDSMBE-GreenKoopaTroopa-TeamImage.png|frame|100px]]
Green Koopa Troopas are Water-attribute enemies. In battle, in addition to attacking normally, they may occasionally use '''Green Shell''' to nullify Fire attribute damage for two turns. When defeated, it may randomly drop a [[Baddie Block#Water Block|Water Block]] of itself. As Water enemies, they take extra damage from Wood attribute attacks and less from Fire damage. 

As teammates, they have an HP rating of 3/6, an ATK rating of 1/6, and an RCV rating of 1/6. Their Green Shell Skill changes any Wood Orbs on the player's Orb field into Water Orbs, while their Awoken Skill '''Water Boost''' raises the ATK of any Water attribute teammates when the player clears a horizontal row of Water Orbs. Green Koopa Troopas use [[fruit (Yoshi food)|Fruit]]s and [[Rare Fruit (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|Rare Fruit]]s to raise their Skill Levels. The player can transform a Green Koopa Troopa into a Green Koopa Paratroopa using two P-Wings and can be transformed even further into a [[Big Green Koopa Paratroopa]] using five Super Mushrooms. 

One of [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]'s forms as a teammate has a Green Koopa Troopa accompanying her, and is named '''Wendy & Green Koopa Troopa'''.

====Red Koopa Troopa====
[[File:PDSMBE-RedKoopaTroopa-TeamImage.png|frame|100px|left]]
Red Koopa Troopas are Fire-attribute enemies. In battle, they may occasionally use '''Red Shell''' to nullify Wood attribute damage for two turns. When defeated, it may randomly drop a [[Baddie Block#Fire Block|Fire Block]] of itself. As Fire enemies, they take extra damage from Water attribute attacks and less from Wood damage. 

As teammates, they have an HP rating of 3/6, an ATK rating of 1/6, and an RCV rating of 0/6. Their Red Shell Skill changes any Water Orbs on the player's Orb field into Fire Orbs, while their Awoken Skill '''Fire Boost''' raises the ATK of any Fire attribute teammates when the player clears a horizontal row of Fire Orbs. Like Green Koopa Troopas, Red variants also use Fruits and Rare Fruits to raise their Skill Levels. The player can transform a Red Koopa Troopa into a Red Koopa Paratroopa using two P-Wings and can be transformed even further into a [[Dry Bones]] using six [[Boo Mushroom]]s. The player can also transform a Red Koopa Troopa into '''Red Koopa Troopa & Cheep Cheep''' by using three [[Cheep Cheep Coin]]s.

One of [[Larry|Larry Koopa]]'s forms as a teammate has a Red Koopa Troopa accompanying him, and is named '''Larry & Red Koopa Troopa'''. 

====Yellow Koopa Troopa====
[[File:PDSMBE-YellowKoopaTroopa-TeamImage.png|frame|100px]]
Yellow Koopa Troopas are Light-attribute enemies. In battle, they may occasionally use '''Yellow Shell''' to nullify Dark attribute damage for two turns. When defeated, it may randomly drop a [[Baddie Block#Light Block|Light Block]] of itself. As Light enemies, they take extra damage from Dark attribute attacks and normal damage from any other attribute. 

As teammates, they have an HP rating of 2/6, an ATK rating of 1/6, and an RCV rating of 1/6.

One of [[Roy|Roy Koopa]]'s forms as a teammate has a Yellow Koopa Troopa accompanying him, and is named '''Roy & Yellow Koopa Troopa'''.

===''Skylanders: SuperChargers''===
[[File:SSC Bowser 1.jpg|thumb|left|Hammer Slam Bowser and several Koopa Troopas in ''Skylanders: SuperChargers'']]
Koopa Troopas appear in ''[[Skylanders: SuperChargers]]'' as part of Bowser's moveset, exclusively on the Nintendo console versions of the game.

===''Minecraft''===
{{split|Koopa Troopa|Shellcreeper|section=y|discuss=Talk:Shellcreeper#Minecraft?}}
In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Sheep are replaced by green Koopa Troopas. A Koopa Troopa also appears as a playable skin, meaning that both bipedal and quadrupedal Koopa Troopas exist in this game. Additionally, the later Sea Turtle mobs are replaced with green Koopa Troopas with peach-colored skin resembling the ones from ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''. Their shells also have more plates, and as such may actually be intended to be [[Shellcreeper]]s.

===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
Koopa Troopas are playable side characters of the balance type in soccer and baseball in {{a|MSSuperstars|l}}. Green and red varieties are in both sports, but only baseball also has the blue and yellow types. Koopa Troopas are also enemies in Road to Superstar. 

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
Koopa Troopas of the green and red variety are enemies found only in [[Many Fish in the Sea]] in {{a|YCW|l}}. 

===''Dr. Mario World''===
[[File:Dr Mario World - Dr Koopa Troopa.png|thumb|50px|Artwork of Dr. Koopa Troopa]]
Koopa Troopas debut in the [[Dr. Mario (series)|''Dr. Mario'' series]] as assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. Their stage mode skill grants 80 bonus points (50 prior to version 2.3.0) for each remaining [[capsule]] after completing a stage. At higher levels, the number of bonus points granted per capsule increases by 80 points per level (i.e., 160, 240, 320, and 400 points for level 2 to level 5; compare with 70, 100, 150, and 200 points prior to version 2.3.0). Their versus mode skill grants a 4%, 8%, 12%, 16%, or 20% chance (depending on the current level) that the attack meter will instantly fill when the opponent attacks, essentially counterattacking the opponent. A Clinic Event featured Koopa Troopa as a patient during season 4.

A Koopa Troopa also appears as a playable character under the name '''Dr. Koopa Troopa'''. Their skill has them breakdance; the effect is the same as [[Wendy|Dr. Wendy's]]. In stage mode, Dr. Koopa Troopa's shell bounces across the stage, breaking a certain amount of [[Brick Block|block]]s or getting coins from them. In versus mode viruses in the opponent's stage are put inside blocks. The amount of blocks or viruses targeted are fewer than Dr. Wendy's skill; Dr. Koopa Troopa's skill destroys 4 blocks (3 prior to version 2.2.0) as opposed to Dr. Wendy's 10, while in Versus mode at maximum level, Dr. Koopa Troopa turns up to 5 viruses into blocks as opposed to Dr. Wendy's maximum of 10. To compensate, their skill charges faster compared to Dr. Wendy's.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
[[File:TSMBM-Koopas.jpg|thumb|Koopa Troopas in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'']]
Koopa Troopas appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', where they are the main troops in [[Bowser]]'s army. They resemble the same look in the games, but they have helmets that look like their main armor for combat. They use spears, knives, and scepters for weapons.

The Koopa Troopas are first seen when they invade the [[Snow Kingdom (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|Snow Kingdom]] to steal the [[Super Star]] so [[Bowser]] can take over the world. In their second appearance, they are having a rave party with heavy metal music with the rest of [[Bowser's Minions]]. After Bowser declares that he will marry [[Princess Peach]], when one of the Koopa Troopas asks him "what if she says no," [[Bowser]] incinerates him completely into a [[Dry Bones]]. Later in the film, when the [[Koopa General]] reports to Bowser that [[Mario]], Peach, and [[Toad]] are taking a shortcut through Rainbow Road with the Kong Army, Bowser assembles an army of Koopa Troopas, led by the Koopa General, to ambush them on the way. The Koopas hold off the Kongs while the Koopa General chases Mario and eventually capture the Kongs and bring them in as prisoners for the sacrifice at Bowser and Peach's wedding. While some of the Koopa Troopas, accompanied by Goombas and other minions, raid the kingdom, most of them arrive at the wedding.

The Koopa Troop is defeated by the Mario Bros. and it is unknown what became of them after Bowser's defeat.

In ''[[nwiki:Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II|Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II]]'', the person holding the pizza which the player must deliver to Cleopatra rides a Koopa Troopa.

In the Wii U version of ''[[nwiki:Scribblenauts Unlimited|Scribblenauts Unlimited]]'', Koopa Troopas (in red and green) can be spawned.

In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', a Boo named Boopa Troopa is found in [[Treacherous Mansion]]'s [[E-2: Double Trouble]].

===Unused appearances===
====''Super Mario Bros.'' film====
Koopa Troopas were originally written for the 1993 live-action ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film when it was going to be a fantasy movie but were cut when it was changed into a science-fiction film. An early script described them as "fierce-looking soldiers, half-human, with turtle-like armored shells on their backs, reptilian facial features, and molded armor suits," and have "leathery skin, with turtle-like eyes and mouth." They were also referred to as "Koopa Troopers" in this script. Despite being absent from the film, early production artwork of the film version of Goombas had them labeled with the name "Koopa's Troopas".<ref>{{cite|url=www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/preproduction/artwork/15_art.html|title=''Super Mario Bros.'' film preproduction artwork|publisher=www.smbmovie.com|language=en|accessdate=July 6, 2024}}</ref>

==Physical appearance and traits==
[[File:MP10KoopaTroopa.png|thumb|left|130px|A Koopa Troopa walking with two legs]]
Koopa Troopas are anthropomorphic turtles with removable shells. In general, they have basic appearances compared to other Koopa species. They have large eyes with black beady pupils, large beak-like noses, short limbs, and large heads. Their hands have four pointed digits (excluding artwork from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|reissue]]) and have four pointed toes on their flat-soled feet, which, unlike other Koopa species, have no pads at all. In earlier games, Koopa Troopas were quadrupedal (walking on four legs), had flatter noses, and detailed leg joints. Starting from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' onwards, they now stand on two legs, have more rounded noses, and wear shoes with beige soles that often match the color of the shells they wear. In the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' series, however, they revert back to walking on four legs barefooted.

Koopa Troopas generally have yellow or orange skin, with the exact tone varying greatly between games or sometimes within a game (in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', for example, Red Koopa Troopas' skin have an orange tint from the playable Koopa Troopa). Besides this, some Koopa Troopas have been depicted with considerably different skin colors, such as [[Kroop|green]], [[Kuzzle|cyan]] or [[:File:SuperMarioStrikers-KoopaTroopaPeachTeam.png|pink]]. In ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', the color of the Koopa Troopa sidekicks depends on which team they are on. 

[[File:SNW-KoopaWashingShell.jpg|thumb|130px|A Koopa Troopa washing its shell.]]
A Koopa Troopa's shell consists of a carapace with colored, hexagon-shaped scutes separated by grooves in a pattern on the top, with smaller, triangular ones at the edges; a beige colored plaston with several horizontal grooves on its surface and six holes on it where the Koopa Troopa's head, arms, legs, and tail emerge from; all joined by a white bridge that follows along the perimeter of the shell and rises at the spots where the Koopa Troopa's head and tail are. The most common color for a Koopa Troopa's shell is green, with red being the second. However, there have also been less common colors such as blue, yellow, light-blue, light-green, orange, purple, black, and, on rare occasions, [[Gold Koopa Troopa|gold]]. Koopa Troopas are able to easily withdraw into their shell and pop back out quickly, an ability often used as an attack in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, as well as a trick animation in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|Underneath their shells]], they wear white undershirts (in ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake ''Super Mario 64 DS'', they also wear pink or blue shorts, respectively) and have round bodies.

From ''Super Mario 64'' onwards, Koopa Troopas have been given voices created electronically, starting with whooping sounds (which were also shared with Goombas, [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]]s and the [[King Bob-omb|Big Bob-omb]], with varying speeds, until the sounds were exclusive to Koopa Troopas in later games), then other noises such as wheezing, clucking, and gurgling. In ''Mario Kart 8'', they were also given high-pitched whistling sounds whenever performing an antigravity trick or placing first. One of Koopa Troopa's sound effects is derived from the stock sound "HUMAN, YELL - YELL: FEMALE" from Voice Spectral Vol. 1 - Track 02.<ref>{{cite|author=TheRealBurnerAccount|date=September 26, 2019|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I3LNhfirK4&t=7s|timestamp=0:07|title=Voice Spectral Vol. 1 - Track 02 (with "Esquire"/YTV/SM64 Koopa Scream)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=January 17, 2024}}</ref>

[[File:Koopa Captain.png|thumb|left|120px|A Koopa Troopa wearing an eyepatch in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'']]
In [[Illumination]]'s ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Koopa Troopas are slimmer than before, have teeth,<ref>{{file link|TSMBM Koopa Troop Poster.jpg|Bowser and Koopa Troopa character poster for ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''}}</ref> have perfectly round heads elevated above their brown eyes, wear socks and usually have helmets. 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 [[Koopa General|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.
