'''Koopook''', whose skill at hiding has earned him the title of '''The Hide-'n'-Seek Koopa''' (originally formatted as '''The Hide 'n' Seek Koopa'''), is a [[Koopa Troopa]] that is hidden somewhere in [[Hooktail Castle]] during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. [[Mario]] must accept his [[Try to find me!|trouble]] first at the [[Trouble Center]]. In order to find Koopook, the player must direct Mario and [[party member|partner]]s to the leftmost end of the last bridged room before Hooktail Castle begins leading to its tallest tower and jump off, landing on a barred platform where Koopook awaits. Once found, Koopook rewards Mario. He also mentions his relationship to [[Koops]]; the two were once apparently neighbors and playmates when they were "barely shell-high".

The reward for finding Koopook is a [[Special Card]] that allows Mario to play the [[Plane Mode|Plane Game]] at the [[Pianta Parlor]]. Later on in the game, Mario will get an [[Mailbox SP#Koopook: Hide/Seek|email]] from Koopook saying he has hidden in a different spot and is willing for Mario to attempt at finding him again. He says he will give Mario another reward if he does so. However, this is not possible as Koopook is hiding in the [[Crystal Palace]], which was inconsistently localized in the original English script as "Goomstar Temple." Koopook has apparently had a {{wp|hide-and-seek}} obsession ever since he was very young and was one day never found during a game of hide and seek&ndash; That day, apparently, was the day he decided to become the Hide-'n'-Seek Koopa and hide and sneak his way through life.

<blockquote>
What's up, Koops?
After you found me, Koops, I found a nice hiding nook at a place called {{hover|the [[Crystal Palace]]|Goomstar Temple (GameCube)}}. It's so cold my shell is frosty, but it's a great place for hiding.<br>
<br>
Obviously, I don't want anyone to find me, but... The thing is, I DO want people to see how good I am at hiding, You see the bind I'm in?<br>
<br>
Anyway, spread the word! Come find the wandering {{hover|Hide-'n'-Seek|Hide-n-Seek (GameCube)}} Koopa! See ya later... Or not!<br>
<br>
Yours, Koopook

==Tattle==
[[Goombella]] can use [[Tattle]] on Koopook only when Mario finds him in [[Hooktail Castle]] while taking on his [[Try to find me!|trouble]] but before Mario talks to Koopook.
*"''Hey, y'know, I wonder... Could this be Koopook, who asked us for help? Y'know, the guy who asked us to find him somewhere in Hooktail's castle?''"
