Snooze-A-Koopas, unlike their relatives, have flippers instead of hands or feet, and walk on all fours, similar to actual [[Wikipedia:Sea turtle|sea turtles]]. They are also quite large and have a shell with a [[Yoshi Egg]]-like pattern on it. True to their name, Snooze-A-Koopas are mostly found asleep; Mario can rouse them with a blast from [[F.L.U.D.D.]] When awake, they will attempt to jump on Mario. If they miss and land in the sand, they will become vulnerable to a [[Ground Pound]]. |

Snooza Koopas, unlike their relatives, have flippers instead of hands or feet and walk on all fours in the manner of {{wp|sea turtle}}s. Snooza Koopas are large and wear shells with a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi egg]]-like pattern on them. True to their name, Snooza Koopas are mostly found asleep; Mario can rouse them with a blast from [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]. When awake, they attempt to jump on Mario. If they miss and land in the sand, they become vulnerable to a [[Ground Pound]]. Snooza Koopas appear only in the [[The Wilted Sunflowers|fourth episode]] of [[Pinna Park]], where a large gang of Snooza Koopas is nibbling on the roots of [[Sunflower Kid]]s, requiring Mario to save them. After Mario finishes this episode, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] are available to use. The Snooza Koopas are suggested to be the cause of the Yoshis fleeing the island, as the [[Great Sunflower]] tells Mario that the Yoshis might return to the island once every Snooza Koopa is defeated. Even after Mario does so, a [[Noki]] in the [[The Yoshi-Go-Round's Secret|sixth episode]] erroneously tells him that the Yoshis are gone. | |

| | | Mario's only encounter with Snooze-A-Koopas is in the fourth episode of [[Pinna Park]], where he must save several [[Sunflower Kid]]s who are wilting due to a large gang of Snooze-A-Koopas nibbling on their roots. After finishing this episode, [[Yoshi]] will be unlocked. Yoshis were not available previously because they fled [[Isle Delfino]] when Snooze-A-Koopas invaded their habitat, partly because Snooze-A-Koopa's shells resemble Yoshi Eggs. In fact, a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] tells Mario that Yoshis used to live on the island. They once again inhabit the island once Mario gets rid of the Snooze-A-Koopas, making it possible that they are predators of the Yoshis. They are similar to Electro-Koopas. |
