'''Koopa Troopas''' ({{ja|ノコノコ|Nokonoko}}, ''Nokonoko'') are [[enemies]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.

==Origin==
[[File:KoopaTroopaOrigin.gif|left|thumb]]<!--due to the small size of the image, captions are unreadable-->
Koopa Troopas made their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' as a common enemy, and has become a common enemy in later ''Mario'' games. Along with the [[Goomba]]s, the Koopa Troopas are some of the most recognizable enemies of the ''Mario'' series. They are anthropomorphic turtle-like creatures that are commonly seen in their green and red variations. The green Koopa Troopas are mostly known for walking in one direction until they are defeated or they fall, while the red Koopa Troopas move back and forth on platforms and turn around at ledges.

Koopa Troopas are known for damaging the player on contact. If a Koopa Troopa is jumped on, they retreat into their shells rather than be defeated altogether, which can be kicked as projectiles. If the shells are left out for too long, however, the Koopa Troopa can emerge out of its shell. The kicked shells can also pose a danger if they bounce off of a wall.

In ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' and in later games onward, if a Koopa Troopa is jumped on and retreats into its shell, it can be picked up, carried around. This, however, can be dangerous, as the Koopa Troopa can emerge out of the shell while carried and can damage the player holding the shell. In ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and in later games onward, the Koopa Troopas appear walking on two legs instead of four.

Prominent members of the Koopa Troopa race include {{s|mariowiki|Kooper}}, one of [[Mario]]'s party members in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Paper Mario}}''.

The Koopa Troopas feature a winged version: [[Koopa Paratroopa]].

===As an enemy===
[[File:Koopa Troopa.png|100px|thumb|left|A Green Koopa Troopa in ''Melee'']]
Introduced during [[E3]] 2001, Koopa Troopas appear as a common enemy in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Adventure Mode)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage of [[Adventure Mode]].

Koopa Troopas walk back and forth, turn around at ledges, and hurt the player on contact. Dealing enough damage by attacking them or jumping on them forces them to retreat into their shells. If the shell is left alone or carried for too long, then the Koopa Troopas will emerge out of their shells. Koopa Troopas can be defeated by [[grab]]bing and [[throw]]ing the Koopa Troopa inside its shell, or by knocking it off a ledge.

Green Koopa Troopa shells can be grabbed, carried around, and thrown like the [[Green Shell]] item to KO other enemies or damage opponents. Red Koopa Troopa shells also function similarly to the green variation, but deals [[fire]] damage and stronger damage and knockback upon contact.

There are many Koopa types, each with a different shell color and unique traits. They all [[mariowiki:Beach Koopa|wear T-shirts and shorts]] under their shells.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===As an enemy===
[[File:KoopaBrawl.png|100px|thumb|left|A Green Koopa Troopa in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.]]
Koopa Troopas appear as enemies. The green and red versions appear as ground enemies in stages where [[Bowser]]'s minions are present. Similar to their ''Melee'' counterparts, the Koopa Troopas can retreat into their shells when damaged or jumped on; however, they cannot harm players on contact, but they attack with a leaping headbutt when close enough. Also, the Koopa Troopas can emerge from their shells, even while their shell is moving.

|desc=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.

This has freed up their hands, allowing them to chase Mario with nets.<ref group="tr">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''.</ref> 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.

===As a background character===
[[File:Koopa Cameo WiiU.png|left|thumb|150px|Koopa Troopa (right) in the background of [[Super Mario Maker]] in {{forwiiu}}.]]
In {{forwiiu}}, Koopa Troopas appear as background characters in the [[Super Mario Maker]] stage riding a [[Lakitu]] cloud. Their appearance changes depending on the game style, matching their designs in ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''Super Mario World'', and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
{{clr}}

===Trophies===
The Red Koopa Troopa trophy is exclusive to {{for3ds}}. The Green Koopa Troopa trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}}, it is part of the ''Bowser's Minions'' {{h1|Trophy Box|Bowser's Minions}}.

|desc-ntsc=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.
|desc-pal=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.

|desc-3ds-ntsc=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.
|desc-wiiu-ntsc=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.
|desc-3ds-pal=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.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a background character===
[[File:RedKoopaTroopaUltimate.jpg|thumb|left|A red Koopa Troopa in ''Ultimate''.]]
The Koopa Troopas in their 8-bit forms return as background characters in the returning {{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}} stage. They have been updated to more accurately match their original sprites from ''Super Mario Bros.'' and are now wearing red shells.

Koopa Troopas also return as background characters in the returning Super Mario Maker stage.
{{clrl}}

===Spirit===
Koopa Troopa also appears as a Novice-class [[support spirit]], and is featured on the {{h2|List of spirits (Super Mario series)|Standard Kart}} spirit.

In both spirits' battles, Koopa Troopa uses a {{SSBU|Squirtle}} puppet fighter and features Green Shells as an item.

Koopa Troopa is fought on the [[Golden Plains]] stage, referencing their appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''. During the battle, Squirtle's defense will increase, referencing how a Koopa Troopa retreats into its shell rather than be destroyed by getting hit by a jump attack.

During the Standard Kart spirit battle, Koopa Troopa uses an army of four Squirtles, referencing the Koopa Troopa and the {{s|mariowiki|Triple Green Shells}} depicted in the spirit artwork, and is fought on the [[Mario Circuit]] stage. During the battle, the Squirtle army will favor their [[Withdraw]] special, referencing how the Green Shells are used as an item in the ''Mario Kart'' series.
