'''The Koopinator''', also known as '''The Razor Blade Brigadier''', is a character from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is a [[Dark Koopatrol]] who joined the fighting roster of the [[Glitz Pit]] under the aforementioned alias. He is the highest ranked member of the arena's major-league and only surpassed by the champion [[Rawk Hawk]] himself. His name is likely a reference to the {{wp|Terminator (character)|Terminator}} from the multimedia franchise of the same name.
==History==
[[Mario]] encounters the Koopinator when he travels to [[Glitzville]] in search of the [[Gold Star]] in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 3: Of Glitz and Glory|Chapter 3]]. When entering the arena of the Glitz Pit for the first time, Mario and his partners witness an official match between the Koopinator and Rawk Hawk. Rawk Hawk manages to defeat the Dark Koopatrol without much effort, thereby defending his rank. This fight is what inspires Mario to become a fighter, as the (fake) Gold Star is visible on Rawk Hawk's belt.

==General information==
===Physical appearance===
Like a regular Koopatrol, the Koopinator looks like a [[Koopa Troopa]] equipped with heavy gear. Most parts of his body are covered by metal, with only his arms, tail, and lower jaw showing a regular Koopa's orange tone. To round off his full-body protection, he wears a dark purple shell featuring pointy spikes. The Koopinator also has glowing red eyes, which are his "most charming features", as written in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door bestiary|Tattle Log]].

The Koopinator seems to follow a stern warrior code, implied by many remarks he makes throughout chapter three. He also adheres to a strict training regime, probably based on the code of ancient Japanese samurai warriors. He often speaks calmly and with a degree of honor, and he also seems to meditate before important battles, as shown before his fight against Mario. After Mario defeats him, he reacts angrily and vows to avenge his defeat and reclaim his rank.

The Koopinator, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The Koopinator, also known as The Razor Blade Brigadier, is a character from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is a Dark Koopatrol who joined the fighting roster of the Glitz Pit under the aforementioned alias. He is the highest ranked member of the arena's major-league and only surpassed by the champion Rawk Hawk himself. His name is likely a reference to the Terminator from the multimedia franchise of the same name.

History[edit]

Mario encounters the Koopinator when he travels to Glitzville in search of the Gold Star in Chapter 3. When entering the arena of the Glitz Pit for the first time, Mario and his partners witness an official match between the Koopinator and Rawk Hawk. Rawk Hawk manages to defeat the Dark Koopatrol without much effort, thereby defending his rank. This fight is what inspires Mario to become a fighter, as the (fake) Gold Star is visible on Rawk Hawk's belt.

The player re-encounters the Koopinator after defeating The Iron Adonis Twins and joining the major-league. He can be found in the major-league locker room and will sometimes give advice or other, less-useful remarks. After the player manages to rise Mario's rank to #2, the Koopinator can be fought in an official fight. If Mario defeats him while obeying Grubba's instructions, he will become the top-fighter of the major-league and get the chance to fight Rawk Hawk.

The Koopinator can also be re-fought after Chapter 3, if the player decides to join the Glitz Pit fighters again and reclaim the title of the champion. Other Dark Koopatrols appear in the Pit of 100 Trials, but they are not related to the Koopinator.

The Koopinator is also depicted in a poster outside in Glitzville along with other fighters in the GameCube version, but the poster more closely resembles a normal Koopatrol, lacking Koopinator's dark pallet. In the Switch version, the poster now correctly shows a Dark Koopatrol.

In the Switch version of the game, the Koopinator reappears in Chapter 8 with Jolene and the other Glitzville fighters, encouraging Mario and his partners to defeat the Shadow Queen.
