The '''Soopa Striker''' is a [[Koopa Troopa]] sub-species that appeared in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. These enemies are largely soccer-themed: They wear white soccer uniforms and have black-and-white-checkered [[Koopa Shell|shells]], reminiscent of a soccer ball. They attack by placing a shell onto the ground and then kicking it at their opponents. Soopa Strikers are the second most powerful relatives of the [[Koopa Striker]] (excluding the Dark Striker, which is only found in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]]), so as such, they were used by [[Count Bleck]] to protect [[Castle Bleck|his castle]]. They can also be found in the 69th room of the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]].
