Koopa Troopa: Difference between revisions

Shown off at [[E3]] 2001, Koopa Troopas are an enemy in Stage 1 of [[Adventure Mode]], as well as a random occurrence in [[barrel]]s and [[capsule]]s in VS. mode.

Green-shelled Koopa Troopas and Paratroopas (and a single Red-shelled Paratroopa) populate the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Adventure Mode)|first stage]] of Adventure Mode. They walk back and forth, turn around at ledges and hurt the player on contact, with damage and knockback depending on the [[difficulty]]: on very hard difficulty, for example, they deal 40% damage and very high horizontal knockback, KO'ing the player almost at around 60%.

Attacking them with a move or jumping on them makes them retreat into their shells. The player can pick up their shells and use them like the [[Green Shell]] item to KO other enemies or damage opponents. If the player stomps on or attacks the sole Red Koopa Troopa and throws its shell, the shell will deal [[flame]] damage, but is otherwise the same as the Green Shell. Unlike the Green Shell item, enemy Koopa Troopa shells don't disappear when left alone.

Koopa Troopas will eventually come back out of their shells and walk around, even if the player is holding the shell. To actually defeat a Koopa Troopa, the player must [[grab]] and [[throw]] it. In versus matches, players can throw Koopa Troopas at their opponents, which can KO rather early.
