- “I don't even care that I have no shell on! I'm gonna show those Fuzzies what's what!”
- —Kooper, Paper Mario
Kooper is Mario's second party member in Paper Mario. He is a blue, adventure-loving (and seemingly young) Koopa who dreams of becoming an archaeologist like his childhood hero Kolorado. He is the exact opposite of his successor, Koops, personality-wise. However, in the battle field, the two have very similar abilities.
In Super Paper Mario, Kooper appears as a Catch Card found on the thirtieth floor of the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl he is a sticker that raises arm attack power of a player by ten.
History
