The '''Koopa Troopa''' ({{ja|ノコノコ|Nokonoko}}, ''Nokonoko'') is a common [[enemy]] from the [[Mario (universe)|''Mario'' universe]]. It appears in both green and red variations, as a common unit of the [[Koopa Troop]].

Koopa Troopas first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and, along with [[Goomba]]s, are some of the most common and recognizable enemies of the {{uv|Mario}} series. [[Mario]] is able to stomp Koopa Troopas into their shells and kick these shells as projectiles. However, the shells can also pose a danger to Mario if they bounce off of a wall. In later games, Mario is also able to pick up and carry around their shells: this, however, can be dangerous, as the Koopa in the shell wakes up after a short while. Green Koopa Troopas in ''Mario'' games don't turn around when reaching a cliff and just fall down, unlike their ''Super Smash Bros.'' version.

Their design in ''Melee'' is a hybrid of their ''Super Mario Bros.'' version, where they walk on four legs, and their later bipedal look introduced in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Their design in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'' is exclusively taken from the newer games.

Introduced at [[E3]] 2001, Koopa Troopas are an enemy in Stage 1 of [[Adventure 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.

Dealing enough damage to them 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. The Red Koopa Troopa's shell acts similarly to the other green shells on the stage, but it also deals [[flame]] damage.  

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, or knock it off a ledge.  

One 8-bit green Koopa Troopa also cameos in the background of the {{SSBM|Mushroom Kingdom}} [[stage]].

===Trophy information===

''Common soldiers in Bowser's army, Koopa Troopas can retreat into their shells. Unbelievable as it may seem, they're clearly unaware of being kicked and sent sliding when in this position. There are many Koopa types, each with a different shell color and unique traits. They all wear T-shirts and shorts under their shells.''

Koopa Troopas make an appearance in ''Brawl's'' [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]]. The green and red versions appear as ground enemies in stages where Bowser's minions are present. Unlike their Melee counterparts, Koopa Troopas do not harm players on contact, but they attack with a leaping headbutt when close enough. Like [[Goomba]]s they are vulnerable to jumping, and get into their shells when stomped. The shell behaves exactly like a normal [[Green Shell]].

''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.''

''A turtle in the employ of Bowser. Koopas formerly traveled on four legs, but they've recently been spotted strolling on two. This has freed up their hands, allowing them to chase Mario with nets. 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.''

Red and green Koopa Troopas appear as enemies, keeping their ''Brawl'' behavior.

:{{Flag|North America}}{{GameIcon|ssb4-3ds}} ''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.''

:{{Flag|Europe}}{{GameIcon|ssb4-3ds}} ''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.''

:{{GameIcon|ssb4-wiiu}} ''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.''

:{{Flag|North America}} ''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.''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''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. If one spots you in smash run, it'll attack with it's whole body, so watch out! Defeat it to turn it into a shell you can throw at other enemies.''
