Koopa Paratroopas (also known as Para-Koopas, Sky Troopas in the original Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Koopa Flying Troopers, or commonly simply Paratroopas) are enemies introduced in Super Mario Bros. They are Koopa Troopas with a pair of wings. Koopa Paratroopa commonly appear in two varieties: Red Koopa Paratroopas usually fly up and down in a set path, while Green Koopa Paratroopas often bounce in the player's general direction or fly back and forth. Koopa Paratroopas lose their wings if stomped, turning them into regular Koopa Troopas. Koopa Paratroopas are playable in various spin-off games, most of them wearing a red shell. Their name comes from "paratrooper," a term used in the military to describe soldiers who parachute down to attack.
