Red Koopa Paratroopa
The Red Koopa Paratroopa is a variation on the standard Koopa Paratroopa. As opposed to a Green Shell, the Red Paratroopa wears a Red Shell which deals fire damage when thrown at enemies. In addition, green Paratroopas either float horizontally or hop around, while Red Paratroopas float vertically.
The red shell is created when the Koopa Paratroopa retreats into his shell after Mario or Luigi jump on him.
Only one exists in the entire game, around the middle of Mushroom Kingdom Adventure.
Trophy Description
- These winged Koopa Troopas can fly, but they're none too smart: they tend to spend a lot of their time simply jumping or fluttering around a small area. As a result, no one exactly thinks of them as majestic, soaring creatures. They lose their wings and become normal Koopa Troopas if Mario or Luigi jumps on their backs. [10/85]
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Red Koopa Paratroopas appear again in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, once again as a common enemy. This time, though, they will fly directly at the player and attack them with a headbutt.
Trophy Description
A flying Koopa with wings. In Super Mario Bros., they possessed the same abilities as green-shelled Koopa Paratroopas, but the routes they flew were different--they flew up and down rather than side to side. There are no red-shelled Koopas who merely hop up and down. You'll often see them participating in two-person kart races and playing basketball.
