White Magikoopas are Magikoopa variants appearing mostly in the Paper Mario series and Mario & Luigi series. They are only distinguishable from the white robe they wear.

History

Paper Mario series

White Magikoopas first appear in Paper Mario, and only one appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door as part of The Magikoopa Masters fighting team. Their name is abbreviated as W Magikoopa (no period) in Paper Mario and W. Magikoopa (with period) in The Thousand-Year Door. Like most Magikoopas, White Magikoopas can shoot magical blasts at enemies, but their specialty is healing either themselves or their allies in battle. They will sometimes ride a broom in battle, which will allow them to hover above the ground and cause hammer attacks to miss. Like all Magikoopas, they will duplicate themselves or run away if alone in battle.

In Super Mario-kun, a White Magikoopa and several Putrid Piranhas attack Mario, Kooper, and Goombario. The Fearsome 5, however, defeat it by using a Thunder Rage.

Mario & Luigi series

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Kamek creates a white-robed clone of himself called Kamek (White) to assist him in his third battle against the Mario Bros. in Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle. This clone heals Kamek, his other clones (Green and Red) and itself just like White Magikoopas.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions

White Magikoopas appear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions after being absent in the original game. They are labeled as Magikoopa (White). and appear as enemies and recruitable allies exclusively in Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser. They are ranged troops, and can use their magic wands to raise the unit's speed. Like other Magikoopas, they are weak against Bowser Jr.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey

White Magikoopas also reappear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey as enemies and allies in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode. In this game, they raise the unit's DEF. The broom riding variety was going to reappear, but was cut from the game.

Tattle This is a White Magikoopa. He's one of the magicians in the Koopa clan. White robes, huh? How does he keep 'em clean? Max HP: 11, Attack Power: 3, Defense Power: 0 He's a healer. When he magically heals one companion it recovers 5 HP, and when he heals all of his companions at once, they all recover 3 HP. You'd better take care of this guy but fast.
  • Nintendo Player's Guide: Attack the W Magikoopa right off the bat, or it will use healing powers on your enemies. One spell can grant five Heart Points to a single individual or three Heart Points to an entire party.[1]

Tattle That's a White Magikoopa. It's a Koopa wizard dressed in white. Max HP is 7, Attack is 4, and Defense is 0. It attacks with magic and can replenish its allies' HP. Better hit it first, huh? Oh, this also says it'll use magic to make copies of itself when it's all alone. ...Which is totally lame, 'cause then you can't tell the real deal from the copy!
  • Copy's Tattle: That's a White Magikoopa Copy. No point in attacking it, since you can't hurt it. The real thing has a Max HP of 7, an Attack of 4, and a Defense of 0. Once you beat the real one, the copies will all vanish. So, uh, find that real one!
