'''Boom Booms''' are a Koopa species similar to Bowser's. Booms Booms are very large and most have spikes on the back of their shells. The only difference seems to be the connected plastron (the underside of the shell) that Boom Booms have. They have huge arms, which they use to attack by flailing them, although in some cases their arms are replaced with wings. Aside from the main Boom Boom, a female Boom Boom named [[Pom Pom]] has been shown. They appear in boss battles in games like ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''.
*'''Debut: ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'''''
'''Koopa Troopas''' (often shortened to plain '''Koopas''' and occasionally to '''Troopas''') are common enemies in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. Koopa Troopas are usually displayed as foot soldiers of the Koopa Troop under the direct leadership of Bowser. They typically have no special offensive abilities, rather simply walking forwards slowly. Usually, jumping on them causes them to retreat into their [[Koopa Shell|shell]]s, though sometimes they may be removed from their shells instead. Either way, shells can be kicked, causing them to slide along the ground and bounce off walls, or carried around for use elsewhere. Throughout the ''Super Mario'' franchise, Koopa Troopas have walked on four legs or two legs. Since their debut in ''Super Mario Bros.'', Koopa Troopas have appeared in almost every game in the franchise, usually as enemies, but also as playable characters in numerous spin-offs.

*'''Debut: ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'''''
'''Koopa Paratroopas''' are winged versions of Koopa Troopas that either fly or hop. Attacking them causes them to lose their wings and become normal Koopa Troopas. They have several variations, and also served as the inspiration for several other winged enemies in the series, like [[Paragoomba]]s and [[Para-Beetle]]s.

*'''Debut: ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'''''
'''Dry Bones''' are skeletal Koopa Troopas that fall apart when stomped rather than retreat into a shell. Similar to Koopa Troopas exiting their shells after a while, Dry Bones reconstruct themselves, being invulnerable while as a bone pile. They are usually immune to fire. Many "bone" enemies in later games were inspired by them, like [[Bony Beetle]]s and [[Bone Piranha Plant]]s.

*'''Debut: ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'''''
'''Lakitus''' are goggled Koopas who are usually seen riding clouds through the skies. Unlike most Koopas, they do not have snouts or beaks, but flat faces with round noses. Their shells are also unique in their circular patterning. To attack, Lakitus typically throw unlimited numbers of [[Spiny Eggs]] at their opponents. They are also often seen with fishing poles, especially in spinoff games.

*'''Debut: ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'''''
'''Spinies''' are four-legged Koopas known for their spiked shells - protecting them from jumps - and their ability to roll into a spiked ball form called '''Spiny Eggs''', generally dropped by [[Lakitu]]s. As with [[Koopa Troopa]]s, their [[Spiny Shell (red)|shell]]s can often be knocked around if they are knocked inside; [[Spiny Shell (blue)|a blue version of this shell]] also appears as a powerful item in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series.

'''Koopa Troopas''' (often shortened to plain '''Koopas''' and occasionally to '''Troopas''', Japanese ノコノコ ''Nokonoko'') are common enemies in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. While some are peaceful, Koopa Troopas are usually displayed as foot soldiers of the Koopa Troop under the direct leadership of Bowser. They typically have no special offensive abilities like [[#Hammer Bros.|Hammer Bros.]] or [[#Lakitu|Lakitu]]s. Throughout the ''Super Mario'' franchise, Koopa Troopas have appeared as both quadrupedal creatures (four legged) and bipedal (walking on two legs). Since their debut in ''Super Mario Bros.'', Koopa Troopas have appeared in almost every game, usually as enemies, but also as playable characters in numerous spin-offs. They are also partners for Mario in the first two ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games.

'''Mechakoopas''' are large wind-up toy Bowsers, though other Bowser-shaped robots like [[Mecha-Bowser]] have also been identified as Mechakoopas. In most games, Mario can stun them by jumping on them. Then, Mechakoopas can usually be held and thrown, but they eventually recover and move again.

'''Lakitus''' are goggled Koopas who ride clouds through the skies, and which can occasionally be found snorkeling in water and hiding behind walls or in pipes. Unlike most Koopa species, they do not have snouts or beaks, but flat faces with round noses. Their shells are also unique in their circular patterning. To attack, Lakitus typically throw unlimited numbers of [[#Spiny|Spiny Eggs]] at their opponents, and some will also dangle [[1-Up Mushroom]]s from fishing poles to lure their targets closer.

'''Magikoopas''' (referred to as '''Kameks''' in the European localizations and as '''Koopa Wizards''' in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]]) can cast spells and fly on broomsticks. They are generally considered to be high-ranking members of the Koopa Troop. They wear glasses and wizard's garb: typically blue robes and hats, though Magikoopas specializing in different forms of magic sport different colors. Aside from their heads, which have slightly larger beaks than those of their normal counterparts, little is known about the Magikoopa's external structure due to their robes.

“Yoshi-dear, that baby is going to cause disaster to befall the Koopas. So give him here before you accidentally get hurt!”
—Kamek, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Koopas (once "the Koopa")[1] are a category of turtle-like creatures that form the Turtle Tribe (also known as the Koopa clan or Koopa tribe). There are many different types of Koopas, the most common being Koopa Troopas.

Most Koopas operate in a hierarchy-based grouping system. Bowser is the leader of a large army of minions, which has invaded the Mushroom Kingdom many times and has control over most of the Koopas in the Super Mario franchise, beginning in Super Mario Bros. Many of these same Koopas are members of the Koopa Troop and have different tasks in the organization based on the abilities of their particular class. For example, Koopa Troopas tend to be assigned as basic foot soldiers alongside Goombas due to their lack of specialized offensive capabilities, while Magikoopas are often given advisory roles due to their magical abilities and gift of foresight.

However, not all Koopas are allied with Bowser. Some Koopas, such as the Koopa Troopas of Koopa Village, live peacefully inside the borders of the Mushroom Kingdom, while others, such as Koopa the Quick in Super Mario 64 and the Roving Racers in Super Mario Odyssey, simply hold no allegiance and operate independently.

Name

Koopas are named from the species that Bowser belongs to due to an inconsistency in localization. According to an interpretation of the story of the original game's Japanese manual[2] during the English localization that saw Koopa (クッパ) as the name of the group of turtles instead of the name of Bowser, they were known for their "black magic."[3] Said interpretation has since been rectified, with Koopa being acknowledged to be the Japanese name of Bowser,[4] but the concept of Koopas as a group of turtles in the West remains,[5] while Nintendo of Japan consistently refers to Koopa as the name of Bowser and to the Turtle Tribe (カメ族ぞく) as the group to which the various turtles belong.[6] This inconsistency has also led to Koopa Troopas commonly being called "Koopas" for short in many Western releases, despite its established wider application and it instead being Bowser's name in Japan.

Origin

Mario Bros. (game)
A Shellcreeper, the predecessors to Koopas
Main article: Shellcreeper

Koopas in general are based on the Shellcreepers from Mario Bros., as evident by various enemies being tentatively named and designed after Shellcreepers in development documents of Super Mario Bros.[7] Mario Mania indicates that Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas were previously Shellcreepers.[8] At least one source, Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten, lists Shellcreepers among the Turtle Tribe while simultaneously stating that they are the roots originating the whole Turtle Tribe.[9] Additionally, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U states that Koopa Troopas (referred to simply as "Koopas" in English versions) are apparently evolved from Shellcreepers.[10][11][12]

Species

Koopa Troopa

Main article: Koopa Troopa
Artwork of Koopa Troopa from Super Mario Party

Koopa Troopas (often shortened to plain Koopas and occasionally to Troopas) are common enemies in the Super Mario franchise. Koopa Troopas are usually displayed as foot soldiers of the Koopa Troop under the direct leadership of Bowser. They typically have no special offensive abilities, rather simply walking forwards slowly. Usually, jumping on them causes them to retreat into their shells, though sometimes they may be removed from their shells instead. Either way, shells can be kicked, causing them to slide along the ground and bounce off walls, or carried around for use elsewhere. Throughout the Super Mario franchise, Koopa Troopas have walked on four legs or two legs. Since their debut in Super Mario Bros., Koopa Troopas have appeared in almost every game in the franchise, usually as enemies, but also as playable characters in numerous spin-offs.

Koopa Troopa family

Koopa Paratroopa

Main article: Koopa Paratroopa
Paratroopart.png

Koopa Paratroopas are winged versions of Koopa Troopas that either fly or hop. Attacking them causes them to lose their wings and become normal Koopa Troopas. They have several variations, and also served as the inspiration for several other winged enemies in the series, like Paragoombas and Para-Beetles.

Koopa Paratroopa family

Dry Bones

Main article: Dry Bones

Dry Bones are skeletal Koopa Troopas that fall apart when stomped rather than retreat into a shell. Similar to Koopa Troopas exiting their shells after a while, Dry Bones reconstruct themselves, being invulnerable while as a bone pile. They are usually immune to fire. Many "bone" enemies in later games were inspired by them, like Bony Beetles and Bone Piranha Plants.

Dry Bones family

Hammer Bro

Main article: Hammer Bro
Hammer Bro in New Super Mario Bros. U

Hammer Bros. (or Hammer Brothers) are a type of Koopa that stand upright, wear helmets and shoes, and throw hammers at passerby. There are various similar Koopas who throw other objects at their opponents, such as the Boomerang Bros., Ice Bros., and the Fire Bros. Many of these Koopas have similar shell patterns, color-coded by type: Hammer Bros. wear green armor, Fire Bros. wear red, Boomerang Bros. wear blue, Ice Bros. wear light blue, etc.; and beaks that are lighter in color than the rest of their face.

Lakitu

Lakitus are goggled Koopas who are usually seen riding clouds through the skies. Unlike most Koopas, they do not have snouts or beaks, but flat faces with round noses. Their shells are also unique in their circular patterning. To attack, Lakitus typically throw unlimited numbers of Spiny Eggs at their opponents. They are also often seen with fishing poles, especially in spinoff games.

Spiny

Main articles: Spiny, Spiny Egg

Spinies are four-legged Koopas known for their spiked shells - protecting them from jumps - and their ability to roll into a spiked ball form called Spiny Eggs, generally dropped by Lakitus. As with Koopa Troopas, their shells can often be knocked around if they are knocked inside; a blue version of this shell also appears as a powerful item in the Mario Kart series.

Spiny family

Buzzy Beetle

Main article: Buzzy Beetle

Buzzy Beetles squat Koopas with tough, domed shells that are found generally in caves and other dark areas. They are known to be immune to fireballs, and they can climb on walls and ceilings, and they can drop from ceilings if Mario or others approach them closely enough. As with Koopa Troopas and Spinies, Buzzy Beetles hide inside their shell if Mario or others stomp on them, letting their shells be kicked or carried.

Koopa (Bowser's species)

Main article: Koopa (Bowser's species)

Koopas (not to be confused with Koopa Troopas or the Turtle Tribe in general) are a large species that is generally shown with bipedal posture, a spiked shell that is separated between the front and back, and lumpy, fleshy muzzles. As the species Bowser belongs to, many of his traits and abilities are later shown by others, such as the ability to breathe fire. Most examples of them are specific named characters rather than generic enemies. They physically have the closest resemblance to Boom Booms and Sumo Bros.

Most variants of Bowser's species are offshoots of Bowser himself.

Mechakoopa

Main article: Mechakoopa

Mechakoopas are large wind-up toy Bowsers, though other Bowser-shaped robots like Mecha-Bowser have also been identified as Mechakoopas. In most games, Mario can stun them by jumping on them. Then, Mechakoopas can usually be held and thrown, but they eventually recover and move again.

Spikes are rotund, large-mouthed Koopas who either stand still or walk around. When Mario or an ally of his comes by, however, Spikes throw spiked balls or bars to harm the character. More specialized variants, such as Snow Spikes and Stone Spikes, also exist and throw their namesake projectiles instead of metallic, spiked balls.

Boom Booms are a Koopa species similar to Bowser's. Booms Booms are very large and sometimes have spikes on the back of their shells. The only difference seems to be the connected plastron (the underside of the shell) that Boom Booms have. They have huge arms, which they use to attack by flailing them, although in some cases their arms are replaced with wings. Aside from the main Boom Boom, a female Boom Boom named Pom Pom has been shown. They appear as miniboss battles in several games.

Chargin' Chuck

Chargin' Chucks are a type of Koopa who wear gridiron football gear. They have a variety of attacks and sports based weaponry, such as damaging baseballs and footballs. They have physical and behavioral similarities to Boom Boom, but often appear in groups.

Magikoopa

Main article: Magikoopa

Magikoopas (also referred to as Kameks) can cast spells and fly on broomsticks. They are generally considered to be high-ranking members of the Koopa Troop. They wear glasses and wizard's garb: typically blue robes and hats, though Magikoopas specializing in different forms of magic sport different colors. Aside from their heads, which have slightly larger beaks than those of their normal counterparts, little is known about the Magikoopa's external structure due to their robes, though the contours of their shells can be slightly seen on their backs. When treated as a singular character, they are usually identified as Kamek, Bowser's main advisor.

Koopa Strikers are soccer-themed Koopas with close similarities to Koopa Troopas. Unlike Koopa Troopas, they have pink, domed heads, black dot eyes, and bushy red eyebrows. They wear soccer ball-patterned shells, of which they can summon endless amounts of spares to kick. The kicked shells act just like a Koopa Troopa's shell after being knocked around.

Main article: Rocky Wrench

Rocky Wrenches are enemies and pop out of manhole covers on airships at random. They were stated to be a mole-like type of Koopa during Super Mario Bros. 3,[13][14] but have been redesigned to greatly resemble Monty Moles (which are in turn based off Rocky Wrenches) as of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, though the shells reappear in the "classic" styles of Super Mario Maker and its iterations as well as the DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Skedaddler

Skedaddlers are timid ground squirrel-like enemies that spit seeds to attack. They have small, black shells very similar to the ones Rocky Wrenches sometimes have.

Yoshi

Main article: Yoshi (species)

Yoshis are long-tongued omnivorous saurian creatures initially intended as Koopas.[15] After their debut, this connection was not brought up again for many years, but it would eventually be reconfirmed that they are turtles with the large red "saddle" being a natural shell.[16][17][18] As such, they are the one Koopa-based creature consistently depicted as friendly characters, with Yoshi being a major protagonist of both the Mario franchise as well as his own franchise.
