Koopa the Quick challenging Mario to a race.

Koopa the Quick is a giant Koopa Troopa that Mario must race twice for Power Stars in Super Mario 64. He also appears in Super Mario 64 DS. According to what he says, his home, which fits his size, is the Huge Island. The secret to his speed in Tiny-Huge Island is his Koopa Mach 1 Sprint shoes and in Super Mario 64 DS they are Supa Troopa Koopa sneakers (from the Shells Inc co.), which he spent all his cash on.

Il Piantissimo, a foot-racer in Super Mario Sunshine, later plays a similar role to Koopa the Quick. Later still in Super Mario Galaxy, Spooky Speedster and Cosmic Mario both act as racers like Koopa the Quick and Il Piantissimo.

Trivia

  • Because Koopa the Quick is enthusiastic to race Mario in Super Mario 64 DS, he will not accept challenges from Yoshi, Luigi, or Wario unless they disguise themselves first. If one of the aforementioned characters drop their hats and finish the race, Koopa the Quick will claim he is the winner even though the player beat him.
