Koopa Troopas are enemies who first appeared in Super Mario Bros. They are a turtle species that appear in various colors, and their shells can be weapons. Most of them aren't very tough, making them easy enemies for some. However, though they are weak, they are actually very hard to kill, as they withdraw into their shells when they are attacked. They can only be killed by making them fall off cliffs, getting attacked by fire or ice, or getting attacked with another shell. Kamek has modified several Koopa Troopas, giving them wings and weapons. In Paper Mario, there are 4 evil Koopas, known as the Koopa Bros.
Koopas mainly live under Luigi's house, because there they can pour salsa on their heads without being questioned. They appear in Giant Land with their bigger counterparts and are found in other areas like Donut Plains.

Koopa:
A walking Koopa who fights loyally for Bowser. It retreats into its shell when in danger. Cool-Koopa: It wears shades to look cooler. No one has the heart to tell it that they look goofy though. |
Two Koopa Troopas replace Pidgey and Pidgeotto in this hack. One is a regular green Koopa Troopa, which can evolve into a red-shelled, shades-wearing Koopa Troopa starting at level 18, which evolves into Koopatrol starting at level 36. Both Koopa Troopas are Dragon-types.
