'''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. | '''Koopie Koo''' is [[Koops]]' girlfriend. She appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

Email[edit]
- Miss you!
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)
Lately, the place is starting to smell more like your dad, Koopley. He has his own smell, and it’s...weird. I think maybe it’s the smell of Hooktail’s gut. It’s...disgusting. (Switch)
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
