Koopa Troopa: Difference between revisions

Koopa Troopas in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' walk on all-fours and do not wear shoes, like in the {{a|FC}}/NES titles. They always have angry expressions and retain their hiccup-like sounds. Nearly all of the Koopa Troopas wear green shells, first appearing in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]] and later returning in galaxies such as the [[Bigmouth Galaxy]] and [[Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada]]. Only one red Koopa ever appears, near the lighthouse in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]]. Koopas patrol a set area (green ones move slowly back-and-forth in a straight line, while the faster red one moves in a circle) and can hurt the player when touched. A Koopa retreats into its shell if stomped or [[spin|spun]] into before re-emerging moments later. Either throwing or breaking a Koopa's shell causes it to respawn in the same area it patrolled, an ability shared only with [[Cataquack]]s from the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]]. [[Koopa Shell|Koopa shells]] are throwable items and are more common than Koopas themselves.
