The '''Mega Koopa''' is a giant [[Koopa Troopa]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' that got a [[Mega Star]].
The '''Mega Koopa''' is a giant [[Koopa Troopa]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' that got a [[Mega Star]].


In Chapter 3-1, an ordinary Koopa Troopa sees [[Mario]] coming and obtains a Mega Star to stop him (using the same animations that any other character does when they use a Mega Star). Despite its size, it can be defeated by any non-jump attack (including hitting it with a normal-sized Koopa Shell), or the player can pick up the other Mega Star in the area and run into it.
Once an ordinary Koopa Troopa, it sees [[Mario]] coming and runs for its life. It hits a block containing the Mega Star and turns huge (using the same animations that any other character does when he or she uses a Mega Star). Mario or [[Princess Peach]] ([[Bowser]] and [[Luigi]] can also encounter it once they join the party later on) needs to become giant by using a Mega Star to defeat the Koopa, but it can also be defeated by an explosion of [[Boomer]], [[Bowser]]'s fire breath, [[Luigi]]'s [[Super Jump]], picking it up and throwing with Thoreau, or by succumbing to the effects of a [[Catch Card SP]]. Oddly enough, when looked at in 3D, the Mega Koopa is 3D instead of flat, though all "Mega" characters may have this characteristic. This Koopa is not to be confused with a [[Gargantua Koopa Troopa]].


If the player jumps on the Mega Koopa or picks it up with [[Thoreau]], it will hide in its shell and can be kicked before it comes out. The shell will ricochet around the arena, dealing damage to the player until defeated.

==Trivia==
*This is perhaps the only occurrence of a regular enemy using a power-up item in a [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' game]], though they were originally going to in another platformer, ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''.
*When the player receives 100 shop points, he or she is given a [[Catch Card]] of the Mega Koopa.
*According to [[the InterNed]], the music playing when Mario, Luigi, Peach of Bowser uses the Mega Star is called "An Unrivaled Battle".
