A small portion of the Koopa Troop, after their defeat at the hands of the Smithy Gang.

The Koopa Troop (named as such in Super Mario RPG; also known as the Turtle Tribe or Koopa Clan in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!) is a militaristic dictatorship led by Bowser, King of the Koopas. The Koopa Troop wishes to take over the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom, and ultimately, the entire world. The Koopa Troop has taken over the Mushroom Kingdom multiple times and has even attempted to take over the Mushroom World, Dinosaur Land, and the Mushroom Universe. According to Kammy Koopa in Paper Mario, the motive for the clan is to have revenge against all who have treated Koopa Troopas poorly. However, some of their goals are based entirely on Bowser's own interests. According to Super Mario Bros. 3, the Koopa Troop resides in Dark Land.

The Koopa Troop is nearly unstoppable. Bowser has an almost unlimited supply of Goomba and Koopa soldiers at his disposal; the Koopa Troop also has an army (with tanks), a navy (with ships), and an air force (with airships). Despite having a huge military, the Koopa Troop is continuously defeated by Mario and his brother Luigi, the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom, as well as those who assist the Mario Bros. on their missions to protect the Mushroom Kingdom (such as Toads)

The main force of the Koopa Troop differs from game to game. Koopa Troopas are quite obviously the most intelligent of their widely-used members and Magikoopas, Hammer Bros. and Koopatrols are among their elites. Also, strangely, Yoshi's Universal Gravitation seems to suggest that Fly Guys, who were constantly seen en masse during Bowser's cutscene-illustrated operations, were the Koopa Troop's main soldiers. The Yoshi series seems to suggest that back while Bowser was a baby, the troop's main force mainly consisted of Shy Guys.

During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mario eventually joined the Koopa Troop. When Bowser joined Mario's Party at Booster Tower, he made Mario, Mallow and Geno honorary members. However, the scene could also be interpreted as Bowser joining Mario, with Bowser's wording of allowing Mario and friends to join the Koopa Troop being a simple way to keep his own pride and avoid joining his arch nemesis. (This is actually implied in Super Mario RPG, which states "or so they're pretending" after it announces that Mario and friends joined the Koopa Troop.)

The Koopa Kingdom is said to consist of the lands where Bowser and his minions reside, although this is seldom visited in the games. The locations speculated to be parts of the Koopa Kingdom in the games are the World 8 of Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Super Mario Bros., as well as World 6 of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and World 5 of Yoshi's Island DS. There are also the Bowser Baddies, which are only seen assisting Bowser with his custom airship, the Koopa Cruiser.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the Koopa Troop is shown to be split into different divisions (the Goomba corps, the Shy Guy corps, the Koopa unit, the Bob-omb squad and the Magikoopa corps), as evidenced when Fawful shows Bowser his captured soldiers. As Bowser rescues his soldiers, he is able to use them as attacks, for example, using a squadron of Shy Guys to sling Bowser forward to the enemy.

Koopa Pack
The Koopa Pack.

In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, the creatures under the command of King Koopa were often referred to by the Koopa Pack and on one occasion, Koopa Troopers and Team Koopa; though in later episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, the name Koopa Pack seemed to be used interchangeably between generic minions of King Koopa and a subsidiary group consisting of King Koopa, Mouser, Tryclyde, and a single, unnamed Koopa Troopa. Additionally, the battle cry of the Koopa Pack, which was often yelled by King Koopa, was "Koopa Pack, attack!".
