'''Parakarry''' is [[Mario]]'s fourth party member in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is a cyan-shelled [[Koopa Paratroopa]] wearing a flight helmet, brown shoes, and a mail bag, and is the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]'s primary mail carrier, delivering [[Princess Peach]]'s party invitation to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], which begins the events of ''Paper Mario''. He along with [[Corporal Paraplonk]], [[Koops]], and [[Holly Koopa]] are the only Koopas that have shoes that are a different color to their shells. | |||
Parakarry works for the [[Toad Town Post Office]]; his boss is the [[postmaster]]. Parakarry tends to be quite clumsy and often loses the letters he is supposed to deliver, and it is also noted in-game that he is rather slow at delivering mail. As such, there are quite a few pieces of undelivered mail scattered across the kingdom. Parakarry's name is a portmanteau of "Paratroopa" (or perhaps the alternate "Para-Koopa", as his name features a "K") and the word "carry", as he is a mail carrier whose ability is being able to help carry Mario over large gaps he cannot [[jump]] over. His role is fulfilled by [[Yoshi Kid|Yoshi]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. | |||
Parakarry works for the [[Post Office]] | |||
Parakarry has appeared in the most ''Paper Mario'' games out of all of Mario's [[party member|partner]]s, whether it be a direct appearance, a cameo, or a simple mention. ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' are the only installments to not reference him at all. | |||

- “Another letter, duly delivered. A postman's job is never done.”
- —Parakarry, Paper Mario
Parakarry is Mario's fourth party member in Paper Mario. He is a cyan-shelled Koopa Paratroopa wearing a flight helmet, brown shoes, and a mail bag, and is the Mushroom Kingdom's primary mail carrier, delivering Princess Peach's party invitation to Mario and Luigi, which begins the events of Paper Mario. He along with Corporal Paraplonk, Koops, and Holly Koopa are the only Koopas that have shoes that are a different color to their shells.
Parakarry works for the Toad Town Post Office; his boss is the postmaster. Parakarry tends to be quite clumsy and often loses the letters he is supposed to deliver, and it is also noted in-game that he is rather slow at delivering mail. As such, there are quite a few pieces of undelivered mail scattered across the kingdom. Parakarry's name is a portmanteau of "Paratroopa" (or perhaps the alternate "Para-Koopa", as his name features a "K") and the word "carry", as he is a mail carrier whose ability is being able to help carry Mario over large gaps he cannot jump over. His role is fulfilled by Yoshi in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Parakarry has appeared in the most Paper Mario games out of all of Mario's partners, whether it be a direct appearance, a cameo, or a simple mention. Paper Mario: Color Splash and Paper Mario: The Origami King are the only installments to not reference him at all.
History[edit]
Paper Mario series[edit]
Paper Mario[edit]
Parakarry first appears in the opening where he delivers a party invitation from Princess Peach to Mario's House. Mario first meets Parakarry in person on Mt. Rugged (though Mario can optionally find him floating in the Post Office earlier in the game, before Chapter One to be specific). Parakarry explains to Mario that he is normally a letter-perfect postman, but he has lost three Letters and asks Mario to retrieve them. After Mario recovers the Letters and returns them to Parakarry, the Paratroopa joins Mario's party seemingly out of both thanks and as a wish to assist Mario in finding all of his other lost Letters. Outside of battle, Parakarry can carry Mario for a short amount of time, flying over gaps Mario cannot Jump across. With Parakarry on his team, Mario can also deliver the Letters he finds by talking to their recipients with Parakarry out on the field. Parakarry has a Defense Power of 1 like Kooper, meaning he takes one less damage from attacks that happen to damage partners.
He also receives two letters at the Toad Town Post Office: one from Frost T. thanking him for delivering his letter, and one from Whacka who admires his ability of flying. At the end of the game, Parakarry delivers party invitations from Princess Peach to the rest of Mario's party members, along with Mario himself.
Duplighosts and Lee can transform into Parakarry along with Mario's other partners, in which case his name appears as "Parakarry???"
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
Parakarry appears at the start of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake, delivering a letter to the Mario Bros.' House from Princess Peach as she vacations in Rogueport, a callback to the opening of Paper Mario.[1] In the remake, he makes another cameo during the end credits, leading the parade in place of Luigi, who led the parade in the original game's credits.
Super Paper Mario[edit]
In Super Paper Mario, Peach does not send a letter to Mario to begin the story, so Parakarry does not appear at the beginning scene of that game. Toad takes his place by just alerting the Mario Bros. that Princess Peach was kidnapped. However, he does appear on a portrait with all of Mario's partners in Mario's house, as well as on a Catch Card found on the fiftieth level of the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials. There is also sprite data for him inside the game, but it is never used.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]
Parakarry is mentioned in Paper Mario: Sticker Star in World 5-1, Shy Guy Jungle. A letter from him can be found in the trash-covered area. It reads, "Thank you for your letter. Sorry I'm not here to receive it, but I will get back to you shortly. Thanks. - Parakarry"
Super Mario-kun[edit]
Parakarry appears in a short chapter in volume 26 of Super Mario-kun. After deliveries to a Whacka, a Lava Bubble, and a giant fish, Parakarry interrupts Mario, Goombario, and Kooper's adventure by delivering mail sent by Goompa to Goombario. Soon, a sign reveals itself to be a Paragoomba that steals Parakarry's mailbag, annoying Parakarry. Then, a group of Paragoombas attack Parakarry. Kooper attempts to help by throwing Mario from a slingshot, but fails. Parakarry then loses his wings. Goombario has Parakarry eat the item that Goompa sent. The Paragoombas then kick the mailbag, letting loose the mail. Parakarry gets angry and has his wings suddenly reappear. Parakarry, powered from the item, dive bombs into the Paragoombas, defeating them. Soon, Parakarry happily flies away, forgetting his mailbag, but Mario reminds him of this fact, and because of this, Parakarry comically falls.
