Green Koopa Troopas, also rendered as Koopa Troopas (Green) and occassionally referred to as Green Koopas, are a variety of Koopa Troopa introduced alongside Red Koopa Troopas in the original Super Mario Bros. Unlike the red-shelled ones, Green Koopa Troopas walk straight off the edges of platforms without pause and are among the most recurring enemies in the games within which they appear. Green-shelled Koopa Troopas appear in isolation from their red counterparts in many of the spinoffs and a few of the mainline Super Mario games, in which their color is usually not specified within the accompanying text and media.

The unfastidious movements of Green Koopa Troopas parallels the behavior of Green Koopa Paratroopas, which become Green Koopas when stomped, and Green Shells in the Mario Kart series. Though originally quadrupedal, they have largely been depicted as bipedal turtles with green shells and matching boots from Super Mario World onward.

In the Red Koopa Troopa's trophy description, the text "chase Mario with nets" is a mistranslation from the Japanese trophy description, which states that they chased Mario by climbing on wire nets, which occurred in castles and fortresses in Super Mario World.

A henchman of Bowser. In the old days, they'd retreat into their shells for a short while to protect themselves after being stepped on. Recently, however, some have begun to immediately pop back out. You'll often find them marching straight ahead--if the path ends, they'll just march into the abyss. Surely there are no braver turtles to be found.

Koopa Troopas are the main representatives of Bowser's army. They are just about as common as Goombas. They know no fear, bravely charging ahead even if it means falling off a cliff or into a hole. They do this in Smash Run as well. Defeating them will reduce them to a shell you can throw. (American English)
These turtles are just as common as Goombas in Bowser's army. They're brave little soldiers, and nothing will make them stop in their tracks – not you, not holes, not even cliffs. The same goes in Smash Run, too. Once they see a fighter, they'll go right after them. Beat them or stomp on them to turn them into shells you can throw. (British English)

These turtles are just as common as Goombas in Bowser's army. They may look meek, but they have the guts to leap off any cliff they come across. If you jump on one, its shell will be yours to kick or throw as you please. Many locations in Mario games are named after these enemies, such as Koopa Beach and Koopa Park. (American English)
