Space Troopa

Space Troopa
The possible appearance of a Space Troopa
Appears in	The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! - "Stars in Their Eyes" (1989)
Variant of	Koopa Troopa

Space Troopas are Koopa Troopas who are the soldiers of Moon Man Koopa in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Stars in Their Eyes".

At the beginning of the episode, Mario, while maneuvering his rocketship through a swarm of flaming meteors, mentions that he is being chased by King Koopa's Space Troopa minions. Mario evidently escaped these Space Troopas, as after this brief mention, they are not seen or referenced again. Later on in the episode, Koopa Troopas wearing oxygen helmets appear as workers in Moon Man Koopa's Quirk Factory; it is possible that these Koopa Troopas are the Space Troopas mentioned by Mario earlier in the episode.

Notes

• A similar enemy appears on the moon in the NES version of Mario's Time Machine. They are identical to the Koopa Troopas found in other locations, but when knocked into their shells, the helmet covers the top of the shell.
  • A purple Koopa Troopa wearing a space helmet also appears in the Moon Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey, where it hosts the Trace-Walking minigame. If the player scores 80 points or higher, the Koopa awards the player with a Power Moon.
