'''Kylie Koopa''' is a female pink-shelled [[Koopa Troopa]] who debuts in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. She works as a journalist for the [[Koopa Kronicle]], which is most likely a news organization in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] of the past. As a reporter that is always on the lookout for "The Big Scoop", she has a ritzy personality, uses slang when she talks, and likes to take lots of pictures with her camera. Unlike most Koopas, she is one of the protagonistic side.

The four heroes of past and present first encountered her when they were traveling to [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]]. There they saw her actively snapping pictures and getting information about the [[Shroob]] monster [[Yoob]]. The Mario Bros. saw her trying to see where the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] were. The babies helped her out and found the Yoshis. However the Yoshis got eaten by Yoob who also found them. Kylie Koopa was even foolish enough to go and take pictures right in Yoob's face. Yoob then inevitably ate her. However, since Kylie was a Koopa, Yoob immediately spat her out. Kylie wasn't seen again until the 4 heroes entered [[Gritzy Desert]], where she told the brothers about the Shroob meeting and about the secret entrance to the [[Koopaseum]]. Later she gets kidnapped and tied up by the Shroobs in the Koopaseum and then fed to [[Petey Piranha]]. The Mario Bros. rescue her in [[Gritzy Caves]] and defeat Petey and Kylie spins away, but not before revealing that [[Princess Peach]] was inside Petey, but was spat out. Later on in the game, when it seemed as all hope was lost for the Bros., ([[Princess Shroob]] was going to defeat them), it revealed that she was disguised as a Shroob and rescued the bros. Then she finds out [[Toadbert]] recovered his memory and they quickly follow the Mario Bros. to tell them. However, she and Toadbert get defeated by [[Elder Shrooboid|The Elder Shrooboid]] and both get Shroobified: she is turned into a [[Shroob Mushroom]] by the [[Elder Shrooboid]]'s lightning. At the end of the game, she gets turned back into normal form (along with many others) by baby tears.

Kylie returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. She now works in a building in [[Wakeport]] where she writes tourist guides. Strangely, although this game takes place in the present day, Kylie Koopa still looks no older or different than she did in the past. She also doesn't seem to remember the Bros., due to numerous jobs she's had in her career; as stated by Kylie. All throughout Pi'illo Island, Kylie had left blocks with snapshots called Camera Blocks that Mario and Luigi can find and retrieve their snapshots from. Because the snapshots are encrypted, Kylie asks the brothers to decrypt them for her, by rearranging pieces of the image. Kylie times the Bros. when reassembling the snapshots and can be rewarded with Coins or DX Beans if they complete it under a time limit.

History

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Kylie Koopa sprite from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Mario, Luigi and their baby counterparts first encounter Kylie Koopa when traveling to Yoshi's Island, where she actively pursues information about the Shroob monster, Yoob, and the disappearance of the Yoshis. While assisting her in finding the Yoshis, Yoob discovers them and eats Kylie Koopa while she tries to get pictures of him; however, Yoob only ate Yoshis, and immediately spat her out.

Kylie is not seen again until the Mario Bros. and their baby selves enter Gritzy Desert, where she tells the brothers about the Shroob meeting and the secret entrance to the Koopaseum. Later, she is kidnapped and tied up by the Shroobs in the Koopaseum and then left as food for Petey Piranha. The Mario Bros. rescue her in Gritzy Caves and defeat Petey, and Kylie thanks them by revealing that Princess Peach had been eaten and spat out before spinning away.

Later, as the Bros. are at the mercy of Princess Shroob, Kylie reveals that she was disguised as one of the Shroobs and rescues the team. She then lands back in Yoshi's Island on Toadbert, whose memory gets recovered, and they quickly follow the Mario Bros. to tell them what he had learned about the Cobalt Star. However, she and Toadbert are turned into Shroob mushrooms by the Elder Shrooboid. At the end of the game, Kylie is one of the many characters returned to normal by Baby Luigi's tears.

One of the Toads in Peach's Castle mentions having read a book called "Fungicide: The Epic Battle for the Mushroom Kingdom". The book had been written by Kylie, and is implied to be about the adventure of the four Mario Bros. and their battle against the Shroobs.
