'''Shady Koopas''' are [[Koopa Troopa]]s with a cyan shell and slightly darker skin coloration that appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. They appear in the [[Glitz Pit]] and the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].

[[Shellshock]] is a Shady Koopa that leads [[The Shellshockers]], the seventh-ranked team in the Glitz Pit; his teammates are another Shady Koopa and a [[Shady Paratroopa]].
==Battle==
Shady Koopas have an attack power of 3, and their primary offense is tucking into their shells and spinning at Mario much like other Koopas. They can also use their shell to attack even when flipped onto their back. Contrary to what [[Goombella]]'s [[Tattle]] and the [[Tattle Log]] say, their attack does not increase when they get back up; however, their back-attack hits both Mario and his partner, and has twice the base power of their normal attack at 6. This is also the case with the dialogue and Tattle Log for the Shady Paratroopa.

==Trivia==
*If a Shady Koopa's Power Shell is Superguarded, it walks back to its battle position on its feet and then returns to being flipped.
*Shady Koopas were planned to appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', as they appear in the game's files, although they internally do not have a death animation and not much of an attack pattern in its data.
*The coloration of Shady Koopas seems to be inspired by the palette used by regular Koopa Troopas in the Underground and [[Castle]] levels of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
