'''Koopie Koo''' is [[Koops]]' girlfriend. She appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Koopie Koo pleads Koops not to join Mario's team and go slay [[Hooktail]] to avenge his father, [[Koopley]], but Koops is adamant about his plans. She loves Koops no matter what; he need not prove anything to her in the game. She adores him despite the fact that he is weak, but Koops wants to change and become a hero. She becomes so mad that she withdraws into her shell, and fires herself at Mario and Koops. However, she consents to his leaving for the journey. After Koops leaves [[Petalburg]] with [[Mario]], she waits for Koops to return home as a stronger [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]. She has a tendency to be somewhat overprotective of him at certain times, similar to [[Lakilulu]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''.
'''Koopie Koo''' is a character in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. She is a [[Koopa Troopa]] with a boyfriend named [[Koops]], whom she is overprotective of at first (similar to [[Lakilulu]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'') and pleads not to join [[Mario]]'s team, becoming very angry at his insistence before withdrawing into her shell and launching at the two of them. If Mario and Koops return to [[Petalburg]] before continuing their journey, Koopie Koo apologizes to Koops and hopes he returns as a stronger Koopa.


Later in Mario's adventure, he receives an [[Mailbox SP#Koopie Koo: Miss you!|e-mail]] from Koopie Koo, who expresses her loneliness without Koops and how an odor from Koopley, presumably from spending years in Hooktail's belly, is grossing her out. She is also the answer to a [[66th Trivia Quiz-Off|question]] of the [[X-Naut Fortress]] [[Thwomp]], who asks the name of the girl in Petalburg who is waiting patiently for Koops to return. At the end of the game, [[Goombella]] e-mails Mario and mentions that Koopie Koo is living peacefully in Petalburg with Koops, who wants to become the new mayor. She also mentions that even though Koops has become more mature, Koopie Koo still has him wrapped around her little finger.

Koopie Koo is also seen in the [[Pianta Parlor#Paper Game|Paper Game]] of the [[Pianta Parlor]], as well as being the answer to a [[66th Trivia Quiz-Off|question]] of the [[X-Naut Fortress]] [[Thwomp]] asking the name of the girl waiting patiently for Koops to return. Koopie Koo is among the Petalburg residents to cheer on Mario and Koops during the final battle against the [[Shadow Queen]].

Koopie Koo, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Koopie Koo is a character in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its remake. She is a Koopa Troopa with a boyfriend named Koops, whom she is overprotective of at first (similar to Lakilulu from Paper Mario) and pleads not to join Mario's team, becoming very angry at his insistence before withdrawing into her shell and launching at the two of them. If Mario and Koops return to Petalburg before continuing their journey, Koopie Koo apologizes to Koops and hopes he returns as a stronger Koopa.

Mario later receives an email from Koopie Koo, who expresses her loneliness without Koops while stating she is grossed out by an odor from Koopley, presumably because he had been in Hooktail's belly for so long. Koopie Koo is also seen in the Paper Game of the Pianta Parlor, as well as being the answer to a question of the X-Naut Fortress Thwomp asking the name of the girl waiting patiently for Koops to return. Koopie Koo is among the Petalburg residents to cheer on Mario and Koops during the final battle against the Shadow Queen.

In the ending, Koopie Koo and Koops are mentioned in an email from Goombella to be living together peacefully in Petalburg. Koopie Koo is also mentioned to still have Koops "wrapped around her little finger," even though he had matured.

Dear Mario and Koops,
I hope you two are doing OK. I have to admit, with Koops gone, I haven't been doing very well.

I get lonely, and I go into Koops's house, and I smell that Koops smell. I guess it's your cologne or whatever, but it makes me so sad...

I'd gotten used to your smell, Koops...Oh! And the thing is, your dad, Koopley, has his own smell, and it's...weird. I think maybe it's the smell of Hooktail's gut. That's...disgusting. (GCN)

Now I grossed myself out. Oh, and since he's gonna be my dad, too, someday, I'd better get used to that smell, huh? ...Oh! What am I writing? I'm so embarrassed...but I'm sending this anyway! Hee hee hee!

Love, Koopie Koo
