Koopa Trace-Walking is a minigame featured in Super Mario Odyssey. It appears in the Sand Kingdom, Snow Kingdom, and Moon Kingdom, where the player can play it by talking to a Koopa Troopa. The minigame involves walking in a set shape marked with blue arrows and trying to replicate the shape as accurately as possible. To make the minigame more difficult, the arrows will disappear after a few seconds, therefore the player must memorize the shape.
The first time the player sees this minigame is in the Sand Kingdom, where the Koopa Troopa wearing a sombrero appears northeast of Tostarena Town. The player must replicate the circle shape as best as possible and score at least eighty points, after which they will be rewarded with a Power Moon. The player can play again post-game after breaking the kingdom's Moon Rock and obtain another Power Moon. The rules are the same except the player must score at least ninety points.
The Snow Kingdom features another version of the minigame located in a door in front of the "Corner of the Freezing Sea" Checkpoint Flag. It takes place in a small cave and the Koopa Troopa sports a snow hat. For this version, the shape is now a triangle and the slippery floor adds an extra challenge. The player must once again score at least eighty points for a Power Moon and ninety points for a post-game Power Moon.
The third and final version of the minigame appears in the Moon Kingdom. It can be found by jumping off the ledge with the Crazy Cap shop and The Koopa Troopa wears a space helmet. The shape is a circle again, however, there are a few bumps on the ground which can mess up the player's movements. The player can once again obtain two Power Moons from this version of the minigame.
