Template:Species-infobox Climbing Koopas[1] are Koopa Troopas that climb fences. They are found in Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros., New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. 2.

Climbing Koopas first appear in Super Mario World. They are found in castles and come in two colors: green and red. The green variety moves slowly while the red variety is as fast as Mario and Luigi. They move in one direction, either horizontal or vertical. When they reach the edge of the fence, they will flip to the opposite side of the fence. They can be easily defeated by fireballs, punches from the opposite side of the fence, or simply having the player be on top of the Koopa as it passes by.

In New Super Mario Bros., Climbing Koopas appear in World 3-Tower. They act the same as in the previous game and can be defeated by punching them on the fence from the opposite side, a fireball or stomping them.

Climbing Koopas return in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They only appear in World 4 Castle, and behave the same way as in New Super Mario Bros. They can also be frozen by Ice Mario.

Climbing Koopas reappear in the game New Super Mario Bros. 2. They appear only in World 5-Tower and World 5 Castle. They retain their previous characteristics and weaknesses as in the previous games.
