Koopa Troopa: Difference between revisions

Koopa Troopas generally have yellow or orange skin, with the exact tone varying greatly between games or sometimes within a game (in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', for example, Red Koopa Troopas' skin have an orange tint from the playable Koopa Troopa). Besides this, some Koopa Troopas have been depicted with considerably different skin colors, such as [[Kroop|green]], [[Kuzzle|cyan]] or [[:File:SuperMarioStrikers-KoopaTroopaPeachTeam.png|pink]]. In ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', the color of the Koopa Troopa sidekicks depends on which team they are on.  

A Koopa Troopa's shell consists of a carapace with colored, hexagon-shaped scutes separated by grooves in a pattern on the top, with smaller, triangular ones at the edges; a beige colored plaston with several horizontal grooves on its surface and six holes on it where the Koopa Troopa's head, arms, legs, and tail emerge from; all joined by a white bridge that follows along the perimeter of the shell and rises at the spots where the Koopa Troopa's head and tail are. The most common color for a Koopa Troopa's shell is green, with red being the second. However, there have also been less common colors such as blue, yellow, light-blue, light-green, orange, purple, black, and, on rare occasions, [[Gold Koopa Troopa|gold]]. Koopa Troopas are able to easily withdraw into their shell and pop back out quickly, an ability often used as an attack in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, as well as a trick animation in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|Underneath their shells]], they wear white undershirts (in ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake ''Super Mario 64 DS'', they also wear pink or blue shorts, respectively) and have round bodies.
