Super Mario World

  • Instruction booklet description:
    • English:
      The same old Koopas are back again. Everything seems bleak when these characters appear! If you jump on a Koopa in this game, it pops out of its shell. And what's worse is that an unshelled Koopa will eventually find its empty shell and climb back in to start all over again. BEWARE! If a Koopa climbs into a yellow shell, he'll become invincible![4]
    • Other languages:
      • Japanese:
        毎度おなじみのノコノコカメさん。敵ながらこいつの姿を見つけると、なぜかほのぼのとした雰囲気になってしまうのは、なぜなんだろう。今回のノコノコは上から踏みつけると、中から飛び出してしまラんだ。飛び出した中身は、しばらくすると空いている甲らを見つけて、中に入って復活するぞ。もし黄色の甲らに入ってしまったら、無敵のノコノコになってしまうので要注意だ。甲らの色は全部で4種類あって、とってもカラフル。[5]
        (Translation: The ever-familiar Koopa Troopa turtle. Why is it that when I see him, even though he is an enemy, I get a warm and fuzzy feeling? This time, when you step on the Koopa Troopa from above, it pops out of its shell. After a while, the popped-out body will find an empty shell and come up again inside it. If it enters a yellow shell, it becomes invincible, so be careful. There are four different colors to choose from, making for a very colorful experience.)
  • Mario Mania: These fighting turtles first appeared in Mario Bros. as Shellcreepers, then became Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas in the Super Mario Bros. series. Recently Mario has been able to knock them out of their shells. Before, they they hid in their housings when stomped, then came back out when the coast was clear.[6]

    Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2

    • Denizens of Dinosaur Land poster: The Koopas are back in force! When you jump on top of them, they shoot right out of their shell. If you leave them alone for a bit, they'll climb back in and come after you again. Koopas that climb into yellow shells become invincible, so watch out. There are four different colours of Koopa shells.[9]

    New Super Mario Bros. Wii

    • Trading Card description: Get ready to stomp some shells. Koopa Troopas are faithful foot soldiers to Bowser that take their duties seriously. They pace back & forth waiting for you to drop your guard. Green-shelled Troopas will walk off of ledges, but red Troopas will double back. In the skies, you will see the winged species, Paratroopas. You can stomp their wing power for a knockout advantage.

    How to unlock: Random
    Common soldiers in Bowser's army, Koopa Troopas can retreat into their shells. Unbelievable as it may seem, they're clearly unaware of being kicked and sent sliding when in this position. There are many Koopa types, each with a different shell color and unique traits. They all wear T-shirts and shorts under their shells.

    Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    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.

    A turtle in the employ of Bowser. Koopas formerly traveled on four legs, but they've recently been spotted strolling on two. This has freed up their hands, allowing them to chase Mario with nets. Their adaptability must make Bowser very happy indeed. Unlike their green-shelled brethren, red ones do about-faces when they run out of road. They're a bright group.

    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)

    Bowser's go-to foot soldiers. They sport red shells and advance forward, but they have the common sense not to walk off cliffs. During Smash Run, they'll advance toward any fighter they see, attacking with their whole body. These Koopas leave red shells when beaten. (American English)
    These Koopas are a lot like their green counterparts, except their shells are red, and they have the sense not to blindly walk off cliffs or into holes. If one spots you in Smash Run, it'll attack with its whole body, so watch out! Defeat it to turn it into a shell you can throw at other enemies. (British English)

      Don't tell one of these minions to come out of its shell (unless you plan to throw its shell right back at it).
