==History==
===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
[[File:Kylie Koopa - MaLPiT.png|frame|left]]
Mario, Luigi and their [[Baby Mario|baby]] [[Baby Luigi|counterparts]] first encounter Kylie Koopa when traveling to [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]], where she actively pursues information about the [[Shroob]] monster, [[Yoob]], and the disappearance of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. While assisting her in finding the Yoshis, Yoob discovers them and eats Kylie Koopa while she tries to get pictures of him; however, Yoob only ate Yoshis, and immediately spat her out.


'''Kylie Koopa''' is a female pink-shelled [[Koopa Troopa]] who appeared in the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. She works as a photojournalist for the [[Koopa Kronicle]], which is most likely a news organization in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] of the past. As a reporter that is always on the lookout for "The Big Scoop", she has a ritzy personality, uses slang when she talks, and likes to take lots and lots of pictures with her camera. She is turned into a [[Shroob Mushroom]] by the [[Elder Shrooboid]] late in the game, but is revived when E. Gadd spreads baby tears, the healing ingredient, around the Mushroom Kingdom of the past.  
Kylie is not seen again until the Mario Bros. and their baby selves enter [[Gritzy Desert]], where she tells the brothers about the Shroob meeting and the secret entrance to the [[Koopaseum]]. Later, she is kidnapped and tied up by the Shroobs in the Koopaseum and then left as food for [[Petey Piranha]]. The Mario Bros. rescue her in [[Gritzy Caves]] and defeat Petey, and Kylie thanks them by revealing that [[Princess Peach]] had been eaten and spat out before spinning away.


The 4 heroes of past and present first encountered her when they were traveling to [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]]. There they saw her actively snapping pictures and getting information about the [[Shroob]] monster [[Yoob]]. The Mario Bros. saw her trying to see where the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] were. The babies helped her out and found the Yoshis. However the Yoshis got eaten by Yoob who also found them. Kylie Koopa was even dumb enough to go and take pictures right in Yoob's face. Yoob then inevitably ate her. However, since Kylie was a Koopa, Yoob immediately spits her right out. Kylie wasn't seen again until the 4 heroes entered [[Gritzy Caves]]. She told [[Mario]] about the Shroob meeting and about the secret entrance into it (while [[Luigi]] and the babies were getting chased by a single Shroob). Later she gets kidnapped and tied up by the Shroobs and then fed to [[Petey Piranha]]. The Mario Bros. rescue her and defeat the monster and Kylie spins away, but not before revealing that Princess Peach was inside the monster, but was spat out. Later on in the game, when it seemed as all hope was lost for the Bros., (Princess Shroob was going to defeat them), she revealed she was disguised as a shroob and rescued the bros. Then she finds out [[Toadbert]] recovered his memory and they quickly follow the Mario Bros. to tell them. But she and Toadbert got hurt by [[Elder Shrooboid|The Elder Shrooboid]] and turned into a mushroom mentioned above by the Elder Princess Shroob. She got turned back (along with many others) by baby tears at the end of the game.
Later, as the Bros. are at the mercy of [[Princess Shroob]], Kylie reveals that she was disguised as one of the Shroobs and rescues the team. She then lands back in Yoshi's Island on [[Toadbert]], whose memory gets recovered, and they quickly follow the Mario Bros. to tell them what he had learned about the [[Cobalt Star]]. However, she and Toadbert are turned into [[Shroob mushroom]]s by the [[Elder Shrooboid]]. At the end of the game, Kylie is one of the many characters returned to normal by Baby Luigi's tears.


One of the Toads in [[Princess Peach's Castle]] mentions having read a book called "[[Fungicide: The Epic Battle for the Mushroom Kingdom]]". The book had been written by Kylie. This implies she wrote a book about the adventure of the four Mario Bros. and their battle against the [[Shroob]]s.

While assisting her in finding the Yoshis, Yoob discovers them and eats Kylie Koopa while she tries to get pictures of him; however, Yoob only ate Yoshis, and immediately spat her out.

Kylie is not seen again until the Mario Bros. and their baby selves enter Gritzy Desert, where she tells the brothers about the Shroob meeting and the secret entrance to the Koopaseum. Later, she is kidnapped and tied up by the Shroobs in the Koopaseum and then left as food for Petey Piranha. The Mario Bros. rescue her in Gritzy Caves and defeat Petey, and Kylie thanks them by revealing that Princess Peach had been eaten and spat out before spinning away.

Later, as the Bros. are at the mercy of Princess Shroob, Kylie reveals that she was disguised as one of the Shroobs and rescues the team. She then lands back in Yoshi's Island on Toadbert, whose memory gets recovered, and they quickly follow the Mario Bros. to tell them what he had learned about the Cobalt Star. However, she and Toadbert are turned into Shroob mushrooms by the Elder Shrooboid. At the end of the game, Kylie is one of the many characters returned to normal by Baby Luigi's tears.

One of the Toads in Peach's Castle mentions having read a book called "Fungicide: The Epic Battle for the Mushroom Kingdom". The book had been written by Kylie, and is implied to be about the adventure of the four Mario Bros. and their battle against the Shroobs.
