Super Koopas, also known as Super Koopa Troopas,[1] are Koopas without Shells that wear capes, allowing them to fly. They are found in Super Mario World, where they appear in Donut Plains 1, Butter Bridge 2, and Funky. They can be defeated by all attacks.
There are four types of Super Koopas:
- Red shoes with yellow capes: They swoop down when Mario or Luigi approaches, and then rise back up.
- Green shoes with red capes: They have the same behavior as above, but they are randomly generated enemies. They can also be summoned by two whistling Chargin' Chucks in Funky.
- Blue shoes with yellow capes: They start on the ground, but they take off and fly continuously forward.
- Blue shoes with flashing capes: Same as above, but stomping on one separates it from a Cape Feather, reverting it to a normal Koopa without a Shell. Otherwise, all other attacks instantly defeat the Super Koopas without providing the feather.
In Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, a cutscene shown after the player completes all 96 exits shows Super Koopas with green shoes and yellow capes.
Super Koopas make a cameo in WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase in the microgame Super Koopa, where they are based on their Super Mario World appearance. In the microgame, Caped Mario must dodge the aerodynamic enemies and collect some coins.

- English: A Koopa that can fly once it has put on a magic cape. It looks like this guy might give Caped Mario some tough aerial combat. But look at the bright side ... if you jump on one that's wearing a flashing cape, you'll get a Cape Feather.[2]
