It's just a Koopa Troopa in a blue shell. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Trivia Template

The template for overly long trivia seems unnecessary. I didn't see any trivia that should have been relocated or deleted. Bop1996 _(Talk)

I fixed that a while ago. Should I remove the template? Tails777 Talk to me!

Infobox image

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Y'know, I'm wondering if we should replace Kooper's infobox image. Yes, it's the highest quality artwork, and we use artwork whenever possible, but that stupid bandage… I actually thought his design was meant to have a bandage, and I'm sure many other readers have been misled too. In fact, the bandage not being an actual part of the design is only mentioned in the trivia section, which I doubt most readers will look at. So to prevent more people from getting this misconception, maybe we should just replace that art with something else, and then in the gallery section we can explain the bandage isn't meant to be part of his design in the caption. This kinda reminds me of how we didn't use Merlon's TTYD remake art in the infobox because of the third foot, except I doubt anyone would actually think he's meant to have a third foot.

If we do decide to change it, what are your guys' ideas for the replacement image? Would be nice if we could use the unused sprites since they look the highest quality, but oh well. Technetium (talk) 15:04, December 20, 2024 (EST)

If the image were to be changed, then maybe this artwork of Kooper would fit.

Yeah that was my first thought, was just worried it'd look low quality in the infobox. I'm probably wrong, though. Technetium (talk) 15:43, December 20, 2024 (EST)

The main issue is that the bandage artwork is the primary image associated with him in official materials, including the game's own manual. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:02, December 20, 2024 (EST)

Fair point, but nowadays people are probably getting the majority of info on him from this wiki. I'd rather we use a more niche image and prevent misconceptions than follow a manual - we as a wiki are not a replacement for manuals anyway. Technetium (talk) 16:11, December 20, 2024 (EST)
