| | '''Terrapins''' are armored [[Koopas]] with green shells and are one of the weakest minions in the [[Koopa Troop]], even weaker than the lowly [[Goomba]]. They attack their opponents by punching (however, this does not do much damage). Terrapins fight solo, or in groups of two to four. During the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG]]'', Terrapins patrolled the halls of [[Bowser’s Keep]] in search of intruders. |

| '''Terrapins''' are armored, green-shelled [[Koopa Troopa]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. In the game, they are the weakest soldiers in [[Koopa Troop|Bowser's Minions]], even weaker than a [[Goomba]]. In [[Marrymore]], a type called [[Torte]] acts as a chef, and a similar, stronger enemy is the red-shelled [[Terra Cotta]]. The word "terrapin" is an ambiguous term referring to turtles, which Koopas are quite similar to. | |

| Terrapins fight solo or in groups of two to four and attack their opponents by punching, which does not do much damage. They patrol the halls of [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] in search of intruders, and appear mostly in the very beginning of the game, before [[Exor]] crashes into Bowser's Keep. They have 10 [[Heart Point|HP]] and 1 attack power, and 8 defense. In the original game, [[Mario]] gains no [[Experience Point|Exp. pts.]] for defeating them, though they do give 1 EXP in the remake. | | Terrapins are the precursors to the [[Koopatrols]] of the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' series. |
|
| |
|
| Later in the game at [[Rose Way]], a platoon of Terrapins led by one named [[Jagger]] is seen with Bowser. After this group deserts, Jagger is later found in [[Monstro Town]], training under [[Jinx]] to become strong enough to help Bowser again.

| While unclear in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version, the remake depicts the [[hammer]]-holding statues decorating the halls of Bowser's Keep as Terrapins, despite them not wielding hammers in battle.
