'''Koops''' is a [[Koopa Troopa]] from [[Petalburg]] who is [[Mario]]'s second [[Party member|partner]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. His left eyelid is half-closed, and he wears a bandage on his nose, a light-blue, short-sleeve jacket with a hoodie, blue shorts, and white shoes. Very much like [[Kooper]] from the original ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Koops can retreat into his shell and use it as a weapon against foes, and Mario can also launch him at switches or distant objects to hit them or retrieve them. However, he differs from Kooper in that Mario can hold Koops's shell in place. He has a girlfriend named [[Koopie Koo]] and a father named [[Koopley]]. His name is a portmanteau of "[[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]" and "oops", an exclamation of clumsiness (Koops being clumsy); it is also a [[wikipedia:Koops|real surname]]. | '''Koops''' is a [[Koopa Troopa]] from [[Petalburg]] who is [[Mario]]'s second [[Party member|partner]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

Koops is the only party member to have a defense point without any badges or items, but, like other Koopas, he will fall on his back if hit with a jump attack. | ||

Sometime after the events of the game, Goombella reveals that Koops, now more mature than when he was last seen, plans to run as Petalburg's new mayor, though, noting how he still retains a bit of his old bashful self, she remarks that "Koopie Koo pretty much has him wrapped around her little finger." It is possible that Koops will want to adventure again someday, as Koopley mentions having a dream of adventuring with his son, and how he feels "that day's not too far off". | Sometime after the events of the game, Goombella reveals that Koops, now more mature than when he was last seen, plans to run as Petalburg's new mayor, though, noting how he still retains a bit of his old bashful self, she remarks that "Koopie Koo pretty much has him wrapped around her little finger."

As a Koopa Troopa, Koops is the only partner with a defense of 1, though this is negated if he does not defend himself with an [[Action Command]] from jump attacks, which will flip him on his back and temporarily immobilize him. Furthermore, he has the lowest health of all partners when upgraded, with 15 Health Points at Super Rank and 25 Health Points at Ultra Rank (sharing the same amount of Health Points as [[Ms. Mowz]]). | |||
[[Goombella]]'s field [[tattle]]s on Koops are viewable when Mario visits his house in [[Petalburg]] before leaving the village for [[Shhwonk Fortress]] and again in [[Petal Meadows]] when Mario denies Koops's request to join him. | |||
