Email[edit]

Hide/Seek

What's up, Koops? After you found me, Koops, I found a nice hiding nook at a place called the Crystal Palace. It's so cold my shell is frosty, but it's a great place for hiding.

Obviously, I don't want anyone to find me, but... The thing is, I DO want people to see how good I am at hiding, You see the bind I'm in?

Anyway, spread the word! Come find the wandering Hide-'n'-Seek Koopa! See ya later... Or not!

Yours, Koopook

Goombella can use Tattle on Koopook only when Mario finds him in Hooktail Castle while taking on his trouble but before Mario talks to Koopook.
