A '''Super Koopa''' is a shell-less [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] that wears a [[cape]], allowing it to fly. They are found in the game ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they appear mostly in [[Donut Plains]]' first level and the [[Twin Bridges]] area.

There are four types of Super Koopas:
If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] [[jump]]s on a Super Koopa with a shining cape, not only will it become a blue cape-less [[Beach Koopa]], but a [[feather]] will appear, implying that the Super Koopas are merely Beach Koopas with the capes provided by the feather. If you jump on a Super Koopa that doesn't have a shining cape, it will just fall off the screen. [[Spin Jump]]s and [[fireball]]s will defeat all Super Koopas in a single hit.
*Red shoes with yellow capes: They swoop down when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] approaches, and then rise back up.
*Green shoes with red capes: They have the same behavior as above, but they are randomly generated enemies. They can also be summoned by two whistling [[Chargin' Chuck]]s in Funky.
*Blue shoes with yellow capes: They start on the ground, but they take off and fly continuously forward.
*Blue shoes with flashing capes: Same as above, but [[stomp]]ing on one separates it from a [[Cape Feather]], reverting it to a normal unshelled Koopa. Otherwise, all other attacks instantly defeat the Super Koopas without providing the feather.
In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', a cutscene shown after the player completes all 96 exits shows Super Koopas with green shoes and yellow capes.


Super Koopas with shining capes or yellow capes with blue shoes will run, take off, and fly continuously forward. Super Koopas with yellow capes and red shoes will swoop down when Mario gets near, then rise back up. A red-caped and green-shoed Super Koopa will behave the same way, except that it is a randomly-generated enemy.
Super Koopas make a cameo in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' in the microgame [[Super Koopa (microgame)|Super Koopa]], where they are based on their ''Super Mario World'' appearance. In the microgame, [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] must dodge the aerodynamic enemies and collect some [[coin]]s.

Super Koopas, also known as Super Koopa Troopas,[1] are unshelled Koopas that wear capes, allowing them to fly. They are found in Super Mario World, where they appear in Donut Plains 1, Butter Bridge 2, and Funky. They can be defeated by all attacks.

There are four types of Super Koopas:

  • Red shoes with yellow capes: They swoop down when Mario or Luigi approaches, and then rise back up.
  • Green shoes with red capes: They have the same behavior as above, but they are randomly generated enemies. They can also be summoned by two whistling Chargin' Chucks in Funky.
  • Blue shoes with yellow capes: They start on the ground, but they take off and fly continuously forward.
  • Blue shoes with flashing capes: Same as above, but stomping on one separates it from a Cape Feather, reverting it to a normal unshelled Koopa. Otherwise, all other attacks instantly defeat the Super Koopas without providing the feather.

In Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, a cutscene shown after the player completes all 96 exits shows Super Koopas with green shoes and yellow capes.

Super Koopas make a cameo in WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase in the microgame Super Koopa, where they are based on their Super Mario World appearance. In the microgame, Caped Mario must dodge the aerodynamic enemies and collect some coins.
