- “I'm a master, you see. I love sneaking and hiding so much, I just never stop! It WAS a hobby, but I kept hiding...and soon I was known as the Hide-'n'-Seek Koopa!”
- —Koopook, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)
Koopook, whose skill at hiding has earned him the title of The Hide-'n'-Seek Koopa (originally formatted as The Hide 'n' Seek Koopa), is a Koopa Troopa that is hidden somewhere in Hooktail Castle during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Mario must accept his trouble first at the Trouble Center. In order to find Koopook, the player must direct Mario and partners to the leftmost end of the last bridged room before Hooktail Castle begins leading to its tallest tower and jump off, landing on a barred platform where Koopook awaits. Once found, Koopook rewards Mario. He also mentions his relationship to Koops; the two were once apparently neighbors and playmates when they were "barely shell-high".
The reward for finding Koopook is a Special Card that allows Mario to play the Plane Game at the Pianta Parlor. Later on in the game, Mario will get an email from Koopook saying he has hidden in a different spot and is willing for Mario to attempt at finding him again. He says he will give Mario another reward if he does so. However, this is not possible as Koopook is hiding in the Crystal Palace, which was mistranslated in the original English script as "Goomstar Temple". Koopook has apparently had a hide-and-seek obsession ever since he was very young and was one day never found during a game of hide and seek– That day, apparently, was the day he decided to become the Hide-'n'-Seek Koopa and hide and sneak his way through life.
