Snooza Koopas are large [[Koopa Troopa]]s that wear shells with a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]-like pattern on them, and Snooza Koopas 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 shells 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.
'''Snooza Koopas''',<ref name=Prima>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 20.</ref> also known as '''Tamanokos''',<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 69.</ref><ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 6.</ref><ref name=Prima/> are [[Koopa Troopa]]s encountered by [[Mario]] that appear only in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Snooza Koopas, unlike their relatives, have flippers instead of hands or feet and walk on all fours, similar to actual {{wp|sea turtle}}s. They are also quite large and have shells with a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi egg]]-like pattern on them. True to their name, Snooza Koopas are mostly found asleep; Mario can rouse them with a blast from [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]. When awake, they attempt to jump on Mario. If they miss and land in the sand, they become vulnerable to a [[Ground Pound]].


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]]''.
Mario's only encounter with Snooza Koopas is in the [[The Wilted Sunflowers|fourth episode]] of [[Pinna Park]], where he must save several [[Sunflower Kid]]s who are wilting due to a large gang of Snooza Koopas nibbling on their roots. After Mario finishes this episode, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] are available to use. Yoshis were not available previously, because they fled [[Isle Delfino]] when Snooza Koopas invaded their habitat, partly because Snooza Koopa's shells resemble Yoshi eggs. In fact, a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] tells Mario that Yoshis used to live on the island. After Mario defeats the Snooza Koopas, the [[Great Sunflower]] tells him that the Yoshis might now return to the island. Despite this, a [[Noki]] in the [[The Yoshi-Go-Round's Secret|sixth episode]] still tells Mario that the Yoshis are gone. Snooza Koopas are similar to [[Electro-Koopa]]s.
 
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', the name "Snooza" appears on the [[Shifting Sands]] leaderboard when the player plays a Star Tournament.
