'''Heavy Troopas''' are giant [[Paratroopa]]s that are about four times larger than ordinary Koopas. They appeared during the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' both under the allegiance of [[Valentina]] and as free-spirits. They have a special launch attack that takes two turns of battle to prepare for. They are similar to [[Tub-O-Troopa]]s, which are even referred to as Heavy Troopas by the game when it states "Heavy Troopa's ready to launch." They appear to be based on [[Colossal Koopa Paratroopa]]s from ''[[Super Mario Brothers 3]]''.

Big Troopas, originally known as Heavy Troopas, are giant Paratroopas that appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its Nintendo Switch remake. They appear in the sky portion of Bean Valley as well as inside Nimbus Castle during Valentina's occupation. They are notably one of the only large enemies to appear on the overworld, as they guard certain doors. Their only attack is launching themselves towards a party member, which takes two turns to prepare. Two different empty shells from them, called Lazy Shells, can be found, one as armor and another as a weapon. They are similar to Grand Troopas, to which the English version also refers to as Heavy Troopas when it states "Heavy Troopa’s ready to launch;" in the remake, this is fixed by replacing "Heavy Troopa" with "The big guy" in the quote.
