Their design is drastically different and somewhat bigger, appearing more bulky and frog-like in build. Their eyes are flat and yellow, resembling headlights; the spikes on their hair face forward, rather than backwards; they have an underbite rather than an overbite, lacking the upper half of their orange muzzles aside from the nose; and they lack the key or studded shell rim they usually have. They chase [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) similar to [[Goomba]]s and will sometimes pause to breath a stream of [[Fire Breath]] for several moments. They can be defeated with a [[Ground Pound]] and stunned with a [[Spin|Star Spin]]. However, they cannot be picked up, even while stunned. When defeated, they release a [[coin]]. After recovering from being stunned, their eyes glow and they breathe a long stream of fire.

They are blue and trundle around in an odd manner. When stomped, they somewhat shrivel up and temporarily cease movement. When roughly 3/4 of the stage's [[Time Limit|time]] runs out, they simultaneously break down and become immobile piles of junk. This can be an obstacle if one is in front of a door, requiring at least six jumps to be pushed aside. They can be defeated with a [[fireball]].

Mechakoopas appear as obstacles in {{classic link|GBA|Ribbon Road}} in the Bell Cup of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. In this game, they are much larger than most iterations of them, mostly due to the stage taking place in a miniaturized toy castle in a bedroom. Mechakoopas walk around in circles and serve as road hazards, and hitting one causes the player's vehicle to spin out.

Mechakoopas appear in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' in the board [[King Bowser's Keep]]. Two of them can be found on the board; a smaller one and a larger one. The smaller Mechakoopa needs three hits to be defeated. Defeating the smaller Mechakoopa will give the player six coins; if the player fails to defeat it, they lose three coins. The larger Mechakoopa needs seven hits to be defeated. Defeating the larger Mechakoopa will give the player 15 coins; if the player fails to defeat it, they lose five coins. Each time a Mechakoopa is defeated, another one in full health appears in its place. If a Mechakoopa is not fully defeated by a player, they keep the damage a player has dealt to them, which can give another player a chance to defeat them, continuing where the last player left off.
