Were they ever officially named "Koopa Paratroopa" or do they only appear as simply "Paratroopa"s? Shouldn't the page be moved to Paratroopa? - [[User:Cobold|Cobold]]

I've never heard it be called "Koopa Partroopa" i second the motion...Merge!

:They have been called Koopa Paratroopas rarely but Pratroopas mkore often. MOVE! {{User:Paper Jorge/sig|Move it!}}

'''Koopa Paratroopa''' is the original name from Super Mario Bros. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]
:I really believe that Paratroopa (or even Parakoopa) is the better name for this. We should have a poll, I guess. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 09:11, 10 August 2007 (EDT)

== P-Wing ==

Er... I thought the "P" in P-Wing stands for "power". Does it really stand for "Paratroopa"? --[[User:PaperStriker|PaperStriker]] 04:14, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
:Yeah, I thought it meant "Power" as well! Which is it? {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}
::Yep, it's Paratroopa-Wing. --[[User:Pseudo-dino|Mario Versus Luigi]]

==Parakoopa/Paratroopa==

Are Paratroopas evil and Para''koopas'' nice? That's what I always thought. --[[User:Pseudo-dino|Blappity blappity boo]]
I don't know. {{User:Yoshikart/sig}}

== Offical name? ==

==MERGE!!!!!==

They are not a subspecies, just Koopas with wings. We should merge this with [[Koopa Troopa]].{{User:KoopaMan/sig}}
:There are many reasons why we wouldn't merge them. Two examples are: They act differently and are different playable characters in some games. {{User:Yoshiwaker/sig}}
::Also there name it different and why don't you do me a favor Koopaman and make a draft of the Koopa Troopa page with the Koopa Paratroopas merged in to it {{User|Goomba's Shoe15}}
:::BUT THERE ARE NOT A SUBSPECIES!!!!!!!{{User:KoopaMan/sig}}

== Green Paratroopas Hovering? ==

According to the article, the green Paratroopas bounce off the ground, while the red Paratroopas hover in a set path. However, in [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-1]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', there are green Paratroopas hover above a bottomless pit. Could this mean that both green Paratroopas and red Paratroopas are more or less the same?

:Well the whole thing is a confusion but as a general rule Red Koopas hover and Green Koopas hop. If you want to mention it in the Trivia section or somewhere else go ahead but these small details are sometimes better just to be overlooked to prevent even more confusion. Good observing though. {{User:JORDAN DEBONO/sig}} 13:31, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

== Mario Kart Mistake ==

I saw in the Mario Kart section that it said that Paratroopa was one of three characters in the mainstream Mario Kart not to appear in Mario Kart Wii. While that is not true, because there are 8 including Paratroopa, '''bold''' indicates not in the article. (Paratroopa, Petey (DD), DK Jr. (SMK),'''R.O.B. (DS), Metal Mario, Lakitu, Queen Bee/Honey Queen, Wiggler (MK7)''' Does "mainstream" not include handhelds? {{User:Koopa K/sig}}
:It '''includes''' them. --{{User:MarioSmasher/sig}} 12:01, 31 August 2012 (EDT)

I think the wording was changed, as there were 3 beta characters with CSS Icons (excluding Mii Outfit C) for Mario Kart Wii, them being Hammer Bro, Petey Piranha, and Paratroopa. That was probably how there were three characters. Also, in my opinion, the four Mario Kart 7 newcomers don't count, since they weren't introduced at the time of Mario Kart Wii and no one thought of including them. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 16:09, 31 August 2012 (EDT)
:Still, it doesn't say 3 to appear in mainstream Mario Kart before Mario Kart Wii, which would still be inaccurate because of R.O.B. Also, the article had listed Paratroopa, Petey Piranha and '''DK Jr.'''. So I don't think it came from beta. I added the information so it is solved now. {{User:Koopa K/sig}}

== New Artwork ==

*I was checking the Nintendo eShop earlier, and I noticed that when you go to "Recommendations", a new artwork image of a Koopa Paratroopa can be seen.  It does not look like any artwork that exists here, but sadly I can't get a good quality image of what it looks like. {{User:M&amp;SG/sig}} 08:42, 21 October 2012 (EDT)
