The '''Koopa Bros.''' are a quartet of costumed ninja [[Koopa Troopa]]s consisting of '''Green Ninjakoopa''', '''Yellow Ninjakoopa''', '''Black Ninjakoopa''' and the leader, '''Red Ninjakoopa'''. A parody of the {{wp|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}}, the team appears in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the bosses of the [[Paper Mario#Chapter 1: Storming Koopa Bros. Fortress|first chapter]]. They live in [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] and are part of [[Bowser's Minions]]. | |||

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the Koopa Bros. first appear in [[Peach's Castle]] after the [[Goomboss|Goomba King's]] defeat, where they reassure both Kammy Koopa and Bowser that they can stop Mario, and also show them a special technique, which impresses Bowser. Soon after revealing their attack, the Koopa Bros. are sent from Princess Peach's Castle back to their fortress after informing Bowser that they did not actually post someone to guard the captured Eldstar, a show of incompetence and lack of thought which infuriates Bowser. | |||

When Black Ninjakoopa finds that Mario and his allies have reached Koopa Bros. Fortress, he alerts his brothers and they proceed to set about making various traps and obstacles in their home, all of which Mario passes. Yellow Ninjakoopa in particular lays a trap involving a [[? Block]] which activates a trap door below it when struck, which places Mario in the same jail that the rebel Bob-ombs reside. In a last-ditch effort to stop Mario, Red Ninjakoopa has his brothers set up three [[Bill Blaster]]s on top of the fortress, which Mario also manages to overcome.

The Koopa Bros. are a quartet of costumed ninja Koopa Troopas consisting of Green Ninjakoopa, Yellow Ninjakoopa, Black Ninjakoopa and the leader, Red Ninjakoopa. A parody of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the team appears in Paper Mario as the bosses of the first chapter. They live in Koopa Bros. Fortress and are part of Bowser's Minions.
While the Koopa Bros. are all egotistical and obsessed with being cool, they have a great deal of respect for both Bowser and each other and are entrusted by him to guard Eldstar. The theme that plays during the fight with the Koopa Bros. is a rearrangement of the Enemy Course theme from Super Mario Bros. 3.
History[edit]
Background[edit]
It is mentioned by several characters throughout Paper Mario that the Koopa Bros. were originally inhabitants of Koopa Village, apparently living in it around the same time as Kent C. Koopa. It is hinted by Russ T. that Kent C. Koopa trained the Koopa Bros. in combat. Eventually, the Koopa Bros. grew tired of Koopa Village, finding its serene environment and lack of excitement boring. They eventually left and traveled to a fortress that would become their own, whose Bob-ombs they commandeered.
According to the Bob-ombs that were jailed in the fortress, the Koopa Bros. became conceited and corrupted due to the influence of Bowser and Kammy Koopa, who had taken a liking to them. The resident Bob-ombs were enslaved and worked non-stop. Those that rebelled were jailed, and the indigo Bob-ombs that Mario ends up fighting within the fortress were all supplied by Bowser to take their place. When Bowser stole the wish-granting Star Rod and imprisoned the Star Spirits, he entrusted Eldstar to the Koopa Bros.

Super Mario-kun[edit]
In volume 1 of Super Mario-kun, a Japan-exclusive manga, nine years prior to the release of Paper Mario, a similar group called the "Mutant Ninja Sentai Nokonokoman" appear to attack Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi in a platform-filled area, taking on various disguises and using shell-like shurikens in combat. The Koopa Bros.' true appearance in the manga is volume 25, where, like their game counterparts, are first encountered by Mario, Goombario and Kooper disguised as Toads.
Members[edit]
Red Ninjakoopa[edit]
The leader of the Koopa Bros., Red Ninjakoopa has authority over his siblings and seems to come up with their plans. When Mario reaches the roof of the Koopa Bros. Fortress, Red Ninjakoopa has the other three Koopa Bros. open fire on him with a barrage of Bullet Bills.
Black Ninjakoopa[edit]
Black Ninjakoopa is the possible second-in-command of the Koopa Bros. and the one seen apart from his brothers most often. When Mario reaches Koopa Bros. Fortress, it is Black Ninjakoopa who reports this to Red Ninjakoopa and his other brothers, who fortify security in response. Additionally, when Mario first enters the chamber where he battles the Koopa Bros., it is Black Ninjakoopa who appears to greet him, before leaving with Red Ninjakoopa to pilot the Bowser???.
Yellow Ninjakoopa[edit]
When Mario gets deeper into the Koopa Bros. Fortress, Yellow Ninjakoopa sets a trap for him; when Mario hits a rigged ? Block, a trapdoor opens beneath him and sends him falling into the Koopa Bros.' dungeon; as Mario falls, Yellow Ninjakoopa taunts and jeers at him.
However, Yellow Ninjakoopa's plan of trapping Mario in the dungeon backfires, as Mario meets Bombette in the dungeon and also manages to break several other Bob-ombs out of it. He is apparently the third-in-command of the Koopa Bros.
Green Ninjakoopa[edit]
Upon being alerted to Mario's arrival at the Koopa Bros. Fortress by Mario, Green Ninjakoopa takes defense precautions and has a key sealed away and guarded. When Mario finds Green Ninjakoopa while he is doing this, the Koopa Bro taunts Mario and flees. He also appears to be the last-in-command of the Koopa Bros.

Tattle | The Koopa Bros. have formed a tall Koopa tower! Max HP: ?, Attack Power: ?, Defense Power: ? I'm not sure about this... They do a spinning attack with the whole gang piled high atop one another. Hit 'em with a Hammer or something to make 'em unstable. After that, any attack should knock 'em down. If you use an explosion, you can make 'em fall down at once. If you flip 'em over, the battle will nearly be ours! Beat 'em one by one! |
