Koopa Paratroopas (also known as Para-Koopas, Sky Troopas in the original Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Koopa Flying Troopers,[1] or commonly simply Paratroopas) are enemies introduced in Super Mario Bros. They are Koopa Troopas with a pair of wings. Koopa Paratroopa commonly appear in two varieties: Red Koopa Paratroopas usually fly up and down in a set path, while Green Koopa Paratroopas often bounce in the player's general direction or fly back and forth. Koopa Paratroopas lose their wings if stomped, turning them into regular Koopa Troopas. Koopa Paratroopas are playable in various spin-off games, most of them wearing a red shell. Their name is a corruption of "paratrooper", a term used in the military to describe soldiers who parachute down to attack.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Bros.[edit]
Koopa Paratroopas appear in Super Mario Bros. They are depicted in green and red varieties, the former appearing teal in underground and castle levels. Red Koopa Paratroopas that always move vertically are first encountered in World 1-3, while the green type is first encountered in World 2-1. These ones either bounce around or fly in a horizontal direction.
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels[edit]
Koopa Paratroopas return in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. They are depicted in the same varieties as before. Green Koopa Paratroopas are first encountered in World 1-1, while the red type debuts in World 1-3. Koopa Paratroopas are encountered in some of the underwater levels, with the green type appearing gray in the Family Computer Disk System release due to the hardware palette. Koopa Paratroopas are also in levels where jumping from them is required to make it across pits. All green Koopa Paratroopas hop, except for those encountered in World 7-3.
Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
Koopa Paratroopas return in Super Mario Bros. 3. They are depicted in green and red varieties. Koopa Paratroopas are first encountered in World 1-1. They are have little difference from before. The game adds large variants, Colossal Koopa Paratroopas, and the P-Wing, a wing of a Koopa Paratroopa that fills the Power Meter for one level.
Super Mario World / Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]
Koopa Paratroopas, also named Winged Koopa Troopas[2][3] or Flying Koopa Troopas,[4] return in Super Mario World and its reissue. They are depicted with the same two varieties plus a yellow variety, though there is no blue type corresponding to the blue Koopa Troopas; every Koopa Paratroopa is upright instead of quadrupedal, like Koopa Troopas. Koopa Paratroopas all wear Mario masks during Fall, like with Koopa Troopas. Koopa Paratroopas are first encountered in Yoshi's Island 3. Green Koopa Paratroopas either jump in a horizontal direction, at varying heights, or fly in a direction. Red-shelled Koopa Paratroopas have a few more actions, sometimes now flying in a programmed left to right pattern or continuously in either direction. Yellow Koopa Paratroopas walk like Koopa Troopas while jumping over shells in front and chasing the player character. Jumping on them gets rid of their wings and turn them into regular yellow-shelled Koopas. Any Koopa Paratroopa is defeated instantly if stomped by Yoshi.

They can sometimes appear in the boss fight against Magikoopa hitting platform units with his magic. Koopa Paratroopas are responsive to the background music, like before.

Super Mario Maker series[edit]
Koopa Paratroopas are course elements in Super Mario Maker, its port, and Super Mario Maker 2. They appear in green and red varieties. Koopa Paratroopas are created by combining a Koopa Troopa with a pair of wings. Both variants behave similar to how they did in Super Mario Bros., with green Paratroopas leaping endlessly in a zig-zag pattern, and the red type flying up and down. Koopa Paratroopas become Big Koopa Paratroopas if given a Super Mushroom.
In Super Mario Maker 2, Koopa Paratroopas can be given a parachute; stomping on one will get rid of both the parachute and the wings at once. If a red Paratroopa with a parachute lands on ground, it will fly upwards slightly lower than Paratroopas placed on that same elevation. Because most enemies can still be given wings in the Super Mario 3D World style, Paratroopas can be placed there, with green ones in particular getting determined looks on their faces and shown to be scuttling their feet while jumping.
Super Mario Run[edit]
Koopa Paratroopas are enemies in Super Mario Run. They fly in either fixed horizontal or vertical directions. They only appear with red shells in this game. Stomping one one kicks the shell immediately, instead of only removing the wings and leaving it a Red Koopa Troopa as in other games. They first appear in Paratroopas in Mushroom Valley.

In "King Mario of Cramalot," they drop a net on top of Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Toadstool and Mervin. The Koopa Paratroopas are based off the show's Koopa Troopa design, except that they are depicted in shades of red while having wings similar to a bee's, rather than their usual feathered ones. Much like the Koopa Troopas that appeared in that same episode, the Koopa Paratroopas are dressed up as knights to fit the medieval setting of Cramalot. In "Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers," when the Koopa Troopas are shrunk, one that is jumping is a Koopa Paratroopa.
Additionally, in "Flatbush Koopa," after falling off a roller coaster and into Lower New York Bay, a Koopa Troopa mutters that he wishes that he had joined the Paratroopas, claiming that they have received parachutes.

Paratroopas are all depicted wearing red shells. They do not lose their wings when hit. Pararoopas attack by ramming their opponent while hiding in their shell.
In Mushroom Way, some Paratroopas guard treasure boxes while others actively pursue Mario. One Paratroopa even kidnaps Toad. In battle, Paratroopas either fight alone or in pairs. At Mushroom Way and in Booster Pass, Paratroopas also aid Spikeys in battle if the Spikeys are attacked. Four Paratroopas can be fought in Bandit's Way while Mario chases Croco through the last area of the level. They fly high in the sky and do not actively pursue Mario, therefore he has to jump if he wants to fight them. After Croco is defeated, these Paratroopas disappear and do not return for the rest of the game.
One prominent Paratroopa featured in the game is Sergeant Flutter, a reformed Koopa who leads a large squad of friendly Paratroopas. These Paratroopas help out Mario in his quest for the Star Pieces at the behest of Monstermama, the leader of Monstro Town. These Paratroopas assist Mario in ascending the steep cliff located at the end of Land's End, allowing him to reach Bean Valley and eventually Nimbus Land. Mario accomplishes this by jumping from Paratroopa to Paratroopa, each Paratroopa carrying Mario higher into the air and closer to the next Paratroopa. If Mario scales the cliff quickly by bypassing the normal sequence of Paratroopa hops, he is rewarded with prizes.
The Paratroopa has a bulky relative called a Big Troopa, which in turn are related to the Grand Troopas. Paratroopas also have stronger relatives called Malakoopas. These Paratroopas have a green shell instead of a red shell. Standard Koopa Troopas are absent from the game.
The original localized name of the Paratroopas was reused in the Nintendo Switch version as a wrong answer to one of Dr. Topper's quiz questions.

If the red Paratroopa's shell is thrown, fire can be seen on it, but this does not affect gameplay. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Paratroopas are enemies in The Subspace Emissary, and they were given an attack of headbutting fighters who approach them.

Koopa Paratroopas reappear in Yoshi's Woolly World and its port Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. Due to the game depicting the characters, locations, items as being made of yarn, hence the title, their wings become outlines of yarn, and the beige part of their shells is replaced with a white button. When they are hit by a yarn ball, they become Koopa Troopas just as in previous games; they first appear in Knot-Wing the Koopa's Fort. Knot-Wing the Koopa is a boss which appears several times throughout Yoshi's Woolly World.

Skylanders: SuperChargers[edit]
Koopa Paratroopas appear in the Nintendo versions of Skylanders: SuperChargers as part of Bowser's moveset.

In the Super Mario Mash-up for Minecraft, Koopa Paratroopas replace Vexes as enemies; because of this, Paratroopas are a lot smaller than in other appearances.
Mario Sports Superstars[edit]
Paratroopas are selectable sidekicks in the baseball mode of Mario Sports Superstars. They are depicted in separately selectable red, green, blue, and yellow varieties. Their stats differ only in pitching velocity, speed, and stamina, mostly the latter. Paratroopas are billed Technique players, helping them control the ball while batting. Each Paratroopa color has three pitching options of their own. A green Paratroopa is depicted on the collectible digital card. A Paratroopa retains its depiction and role in Mario and Metal Mario's animation from scoring an eagle or higher in golf.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit]
Koopa Paratroopa makes a cameo in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. A sprite of it from Super Mario Bros. is displayed on the wallpaper in the laboratory in the introductory cutscene. Paratroopa is also the basis of the design of the Annihilation from Above weapon.
Dr. Mario World[edit]
Koopa Paratroopas are assistants in Dr. Mario World. In stage mode, their effect is to increase the obtained score for each red virus eliminated, where the base score increase is greater at higher levels. In versus mode, the effect is to instead clear the bottom-most row of objects if an object has reached the penultimate row from the bottom line; this effect activates only once per round. The chance that the effect activates is greater at higher levels, where it is guaranteed to activate at the maximum level. In Clinic Events, a Koopa Paratroopa was featured as a patient during season 8.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]
Koopa Paratroopas are troops of Bowser's army in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. A blue-colored, spiny-shelled Paratroopa, known as the Koopa General, is featured as the captain of the Koopa Troop.
Unused appearances[edit]
Super Mario Kart[edit]
Originally in Super Mario Kart, if the player ranked 3rd place in a Mario Kart GP, four red Koopa Paratroopas would appear flying above the racers. When the winner in 1st place opened the bottle of champagne, the last Paratroopa would be shot down by the cork and angrily bounce away.
Mario Kart Wii[edit]
Paratroopa was originally going to reappear in Mario Kart Wii as a playable racer, as there is an image of it for the game's character select screen, along with Petey Piranha and Hammer Bro. Koopa Troopa's model additionally has an unused wing model, alongside having unused wing textures, indicating that it was originally to share its model with Paratroopa. However, both the character and the wing model were removed from the game for unknown reasons. Despite this, artwork of one appears on the "Turn Right" billboard in Koopa Cape.
Characteristics and traits[edit]
Koopa Paratroopas have an identical appearance to their parent species, the Koopa Troopa. They are designed after tortoises, and were originally designed being a quadruped until Super Mario World, although various artwork of Paratroopas have anthropomorphized quadruped Paratroopas. In Super Mario World, they have been given shoes to designate their current bipedal appearance, just as regular Koopa Troopas have gotten. Most artwork of Paratroopas have colored their shells red to further distinguish from regular Koopa Troopa, though multiple artwork of green-shelled Paratroopas exist. All playable appearances of a Koopa Paratroopa have been red-shelled, with some exceptions including the Mario Baseball games giving players the choice to choose different colors for the Paratroopa, although the red Paratroopa is the default color regardless.
The most distinguishing feature of Paratroopas are their wings, which enable them to fly. These wings are not firmly attached to the Paratroopa's shells, with usually a single stomp getting rid of their wings and turning them into normal Koopa Troopas; this is further enhanced by the ability of simply adding wings to multiple objects in Super Mario Maker, Koopa Troopas included and the existence of the P-Wing. The shell-color of the Paratroopa is additionally used to separate behavioral differences: green-shelled Paratroopas typically bounce around or fly left and right while red-shelled Paratroopas fly up and down; many exceptions are made to this rule, however. The Paratroopa's wing length differs from game to game, with Paratroopas in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Paper Mario, Yoshi's Island DS, and Super Princess Peach having very long wings, though the normal length for most games of the wings is rather short.
In games where Paratroopas have a voice, Paratroopas mostly borrow their voice clips from Koopa Troopa's electronic ones. Initially, Paratroopa sounds identically to Koopa Troopa beginning with Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64; Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is the first game to increase the pitch of its voice clips to distinguish from Koopa Troopa and has been the norm for Paratroopa ever since, with a few exceptions.
Profiles and statistics[edit]
- Main article: List of Koopa Paratroopa profiles and statistics
Bios often mention the ability of Koopa Paratroopas to fly and to lose its wings to turn into Koopa Troopas once they are stomped on. In various Super Mario RPGs barring Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Koopa Paratroopas feature very similar stats to Koopa Troopas, having high defense due to the protection of their shells and they can avoid grounded attacks thanks to their flying nature. However, their wings can usually be removed by the means of jumping on them, which turns them into ordinary Koopa Troopas. In the sports spin-offs that feature a playable Koopa Paratroopa, the playable Paratroopas are usually classified as technical or trickier characters, having a focus on outplaying and managing their opponents differently than relying on pure power or speed stats. Aside from that, they are usually very balanced, having no huge strengths or weaknesses.

Trivia[edit]
- In Super Mario Bros. concept art, Koopa Paratroopa is tentatively named「フライング クリーパー」(Furaingu Kurīpā, Flying Creeper), based on Shellcreeper.[25]
- Out of all the enemies from Super Mario Bros., Paratroopas and Buzzy Beetles are the only ones that have yet to appear in a 3D platforming Super Mario game. However, Parabones, which are the undead equivalent of Koopa Paratroopas, have appeared in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Odyssey.
- In the original release of Super Mario Bros., Koopa Paratroopas had a minor graphical error with their wings that would cause a gap in their shell grooves in one specific frame of their flight animation, which wouldn't be fixed until 25th Anniversary SUPER MARIO BROS. in 2010.
