The '''Koopa Troopa''' (Japanese: ノコノコ, ''Noko Noko'') is a character that appears in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (universe)|Mushroom Kingdom]] universe. Shown off at [[E3]] 2001, It's also an enemy in Stage 1 of [[Adventure Mode]], as well as a random occurrence in [[barrel|barrels]] and [[capsule|capsules]] in VS. mode.
'''Koopa Troopas''' ({{ja|ノコノコ|Nokonoko}}, ''Nokonoko'') are [[enemies]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.


==In ''Super Smash Bros.''==
==Origin==
Two Green Koopa Troopas as 8-bit sprites walk back and forth in the background of the ''[[Mushroom Kingdom (SSB)|Mushroom Kingdom]]'' stage.
[[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.


==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
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.
The '''Koopa Troopa''' makes an appearance in the [[Mushroom Kingdom Adventure|first stage]] of [[Adventure Mode]], where they walk back and forth. If you make contact with them, you will take damage. Simply just attack them to make them retreat into their shells. You can pick up their shells and use them like the [[Green Shell]] item. Although if the shell is red from a [[Red Koopa Troopa]], it will function like a regular Green Shell, but also burn people. The only difference is that the shells from the Koopa enemy don't disappear. The reason is after a short amount of time Koopa will come back out of its shell and walk back and forth again. This can happen even when the player is holding the shell. To permanently get rid of them you must throw them by picking them up with the "Z" button. You can throw them at your opponents to give them a good amount of damage and maybe even killing them at low percentages.


Their stance they take in Melee is a crouching but walking on two legs, which is a mix between the original which they walked on all fours, and [[Super Mario World]], which they had walked upright.
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.
Also, one 8-bit Green Koopa Troopa cameos in the background of the ''[[Mushroom Kingdom (SSBM)|Mushroom Kingdom]]'' [[stage]].

==In ''Super Smash Bros Brawl''==
The Koopa Troopas feature a winged version: [[Koopa Paratroopa]].
Koopa Troopas make an appearance in ''[[Brawl|Brawl's]]'' Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. The green archetype appears as a ground enemy in stages where Bowser's minions are present. Unlike their Melee counterparts, Koopa Troopas will not harm players that walk into them. Instead, they attack with a leaping headbutt.

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, which will result in a Koopa KO bonus where the player receives 200 points for each Koopa Troopa KO'd.
 
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.

Koopa Troopas (ノコノコ, Nokonoko) are enemies from the Mario series.

Origin[edit]

KoopaTroopaOrigin.gif

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 Goombas, 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 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 Kooper, one of Mario's party members in Paper Mario.

The Koopa Troopas feature a winged version: Koopa Paratroopa.

Introduced during E3 2001, Koopa Troopas appear as a common enemy in the 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 grabbing and throwing the Koopa Troopa inside its shell, or by knocking it off a ledge, which will result in a Koopa KO bonus where the player receives 200 points for each Koopa Troopa KO'd.

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.

Spirit[edit]

Koopa Troopa also appears as a Novice-class support spirit, and is featured on the Standard Kart spirit.

In both spirits' battles, Koopa Troopa uses a 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 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.
