Snooza Koopas are large [[Koopa Troopa]]s that wear shells with a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi egg]]-like pattern on them, and they have flippers instead of hands or feet and walk on all fours in the manner of {{wp|sea turtle}}s. Snooza Koopas are mostly found asleep, true to their name, but [[Mario]] can wake them by spraying [[water]] at them from [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]. When awake, Snooza Koopas attempt to jump on Mario by turning upside down and slamming their shell on him, but if they miss and land in the sand, they become vulnerable to a [[Ground Pound]]. Snooza Koopas appear only in [[The Wilted Sunflowers|Episode 4]] of [[Pinna Park]], where a large gang of Snooza Koopas is nibbling on the roots of [[Sunflower Kid]]s, requiring Mario to save them. After Mario finishes this episode, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] are available to use. The Snooza Koopas are suggested to be the cause of the Yoshis fleeing the island, as the [[Great Sunflower]] tells Mario that the Yoshis might return to the island once every Snooza Koopa is defeated. Even after Mario does so, a [[Noki]] in [[The Yoshi-Go-Round's Secret|Episode 6]] erroneously tells him that the Yoshis are gone.

The name "Snooza" is one of the names to appear on the [[Shifting Sands]] leaderboard when the player plays a Star Tournament in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''.
