The [[big bad wolf]] was planning to do the same, but "Gramma" orders his Koopa Troopas to kidnap him and put him far away. When the Princess arrives, she believes that Koopa is her actual Gramma, but realizes her mistake after "Gramma" tries to eat her. After escaping "Gramma," Princess Toadstool looks for her real grandmother, and prepares to across stones to get pass a river. One of the stones, however, is Koopa's oxygen tank, this time wearing scuba gear and Gramma Toadstool's gown. Princess Toadstool puts the oxygen tank's nozzle in Koopa's mouth and cranks up the oxygen, causing Koopa to inflate and rise up, with the Princess chastising him.

Revision as of 17:17, September 16, 2024

King Koopa's alter egos are the many aliases used by King Koopa throughout numerous episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! With a few exceptions, an alter ego involves both a special costume as well as a different name.

Alter egos

"Kid Koopa" redirects here. It is not to be confused with Koopa Kid, a character from the Mario Party series.
Picture Name Episode Description
KidKoopa.jpg Kid Koopa "Butch Mario & The Luigi Kid" Kid Koopa (otherwise known as Koopa the Kid[1]) is the cowboy-themed alter ego employed by King Koopa in the episode "Butch Mario & The Luigi Kid." It is also the first alter ego of King Koopa's to be used on the show. The name is only ever mentioned onscreen one time, by Sheriff Mouser. He sports a cowboy hat, trousers, cowboy boots, and a holster on his belt, which houses a small fireball-spitting Piranha Plant in place of a gun. King Koopa reused this same appearance in two more western-themed episodes, "The Great Gold Coin Rush" and "The Provolone Ranger," under the names of "Klaimjump Koopa" and "Billy the Koopa," respectively, while his cowboy hat is reused in the Australia-themed episode, "Crocodile Mario," where he is referred to as "Kangaroo Koopa." Kid Koopa is a parody of Kid Curry, while the name "Koopa the Kid" is a reference to the notorious outlaw, Billy the Kid.
CaptainKoopa.jpg Captain Koopa "Rolling Down the River" Captain Koopa is the alter ego employed by King Koopa in the episode "Rolling Down the River." As Captain Koopa, King Koopa is the undisputed master of the Sinister Star. He dons a swashbuckler hat and epaulettes and pinned to his chest are three medals of unknown symbolization. Captain Koopa also wears a belt which supports the scabbard of his rapier, which he does not use in the episode.
King Koopa as Emperor Augustus Septemberus Octoberus Koopa Emperor Augustus Septemberus Octoberus Koopa "The Great Gladiator Gig" Emperor Augustus Septemberus Octoberus Koopa is the alter ego employed by King Koopa in the episode "The Great Gladiator Gig." King Koopa had taken control over Linguini Empire Colosseum, and possibly the entire Linguini Empire. He dons a purple robe and wears a yellow wreath in place of his usual crown. He also wears a gold chain with a medallion around his neck. The name is a portmanteau of "Augustus," the name of the Roman emperor, and the month of "August," adding subsequent months "September" and "October."
Giant Koopa from "Mario and the Beanstalk" Giant Koopa "Mario and the Beanstalk" Giant Koopa[2] is King Koopa's alter ego in the episode "Mario and the Beanstalk." However, unlike with most of his other alter egos, King Koopa's wardrobe is unchanged, with the exception that he is much bigger and fatter than his normal state.
