'''Kroop''' (also known as '''Mayor Kroop''' in the Trouble Center list) is a character in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is an elderly [[Koopa Troopa]] and the mayor of [[Petalburg]]. Kroop and his life experience serves him and the citizens of Petalburg during times of peace and of crisis alike. Kroop has large, bushy eyebrows, a white beard, a wrinkled face and green skin. | |||
Kroop provides Mario access to [[Shhwonk Fortress]], the site of the [[Moon Stone|Moon]] and [[Sun Stone|Sun]] Stones needed to open the path to [[Hooktail Castle]]. | |||
Kroop's hearing is not what it used to be. For example, the old Koopa calls [[Mario]] by the name "Murphy" (''Japanese:'' マニオ - Manio) throughout the plumber's adventure and he calls Mario unselfish if Mario tries to accept a reward. Kroop also has a [[Listen to me!|trouble]] in the game, in which he wanted someone to talk to him. After Mario listens to his long speech, Kroop rewards the plumber with a [[Turtley Leaf]]. | Kroop's hearing is not what it used to be.

Kroop had a wife in his past. She is only necessarily brought up when Mario first enters Kroop's house. After this entrance, Kroop (who seems to be afflicted with bad eyesight) swiftly "identifies" Mario as a thief. After some ramblings, he eventually tells Mario that he can take any of his belongings; everything but his "pictures of him and the missus." After this is stated, he begins trailing off about memories before quickly getting back to the point. | Kroop had a wife in his past.

Like all implied characters, little is known about Kroop's wife. Kroop has three pictures set up in his house, and, while these are possible candidates for his "pictures of him and the missus," it is hard to make out what they depict (if they even depict anything in particular at all). However, in the Switch remake, these pictures are now clearly visible, and they do indeed appear to depict a younger Kroop as well as his wife in her younger years. | Like all implied characters, little is known about Kroop's wife.
