Snooza Koopas, unlike their relatives, have flippers instead of hands or feet, and walk on all fours, similar to actual {{wp|sea turtle}}s. They are also quite large and have a shell with a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi egg]]-like pattern on it. 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.

Mario's only encounter with Snooza Koopas is in [[The Wilted Sunflowers|the fourth episode]] of [[Pinna Park]], where he must save several [[Sunflower Kid]]s who are wilting due to a large gang of Snooza Koopas nibbling on their roots. After finishing this episode, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] are available to use. Despite this, a [[Noki]] in [[The Yoshi-Go-Round's Secret|the sixth episode]] tells Mario that the Yoshis who used to live on the island are still gone. They are similar to [[Electro-Koopa]]s.
Mario's only encounter with Snooza Koopas is in [[The Wilted Sunflowers|the fourth episode]] of [[Pinna Park]], where he must save several [[Sunflower Kid]]s who are wilting due to a large gang of Snooza Koopas nibbling on their roots. After finishing this episode, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] are available to use. Yoshis were not available previously because they fled [[Isle Delfino]] when Snooza Koopas invaded their habitat, partly because Snooza Koopa's shells resemble Yoshi eggs. In fact, a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] tells Mario that Yoshis used to live on the island. After Mario defeats the Snooza Koopas, the [[Great Sunflower]] tells Mario that the Yoshis might now return to the island. Despite this, a [[Noki]] in [[The Yoshi-Go-Round's Secret|the sixth episode]] still tells Mario that the Yoshis are gone. They are similar to [[Electro-Koopa]]s.
