Template:Catch Card Coptas are red counterparts of Choppas, seen in the game Super Paper Mario. Despite being stronger and more durable, they are not very different from their weaker relative. They make several appearances in the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials (rooms 74 and 87) and in Castle Bleck. Their ability to flip between dimensions at will make them harder to defeat, especially in enclosed areas like the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials. Although Copta's Catch Card states that the player would get dizzy by watching this alien's aerial maneuvers, the player should reverse the roles by stunning Copta thanks to Fleep's ability.
Its name is a pun on the word "copter", a word short for "helicopter". It may also be another name-relation reference seen in the names of Longator and Longadile, in which the basic enemy (former) has a name that can mean two different things, and the stronger form (latter) has a name derived from the second meaning.
Relatives
Trivia
