The Electro-Koopa King,[1] also known as the Huge Red Electrokoopa[2] and Giant Koopa,[3] is a large variation of the Red Electrokoopa species with a similar sleeping behavior to the Snooza Koopa species, both from Super Mario Sunshine. Despite the name given by Prima Games, it is actually dark green, and in spite of being an individual large version of an existing enemy and being called a "king," the Electro-Koopa King does not technically act as a boss in the game, since it never attacks. The Electro-Koopa King appears only in Episode 5 of Pinna Park, sleeping on a metal screen behind the Ferris Wheel, and its electrical discharge makes the ride spin uncontrollably. The Electro-Koopa King can be defeated from Mario flipping the grate beneath it, causing it to fall into the water and making a Shine Sprite appear atop the flag on the Ferris Wheel, which then returns to normal speed.
