In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', Koopa Kids could be seen working with Bowser, and appear in some of his minigames, where the object was usually for the player to defeat them. Up to ninety-nine of them could appear at once. One main Koopa Kid appears throughout the game as Bowser's right-hand man, often appearing to antagonize the player by doing things such as stealing Mushrooms from them or flinging them somewhere else in [[Shroom City]].

==Relationship with Bowser==
In the first ''Mario Party'' Bowser introduces Koopa Kid, then known as Baby Bowser, as his "cohort."
In ''Mario Party 4'', whenever a Koopa Kid calls for Bowser, he refers to him as "Dad". However, it is unlikely that Bowser is the biological father of all the Koopa Kids, and that the Koopa Kids may just be clones of some nature. Bowser's only child is [[Bowser Jr.]] (or, in earlier materials, the [[Koopalings]]). Similarly, Bowser also grounds them by taking away their Mario action figure if they fail him, hinting that Bowser at the very least has a father-like relationship with them. In ''Mario Party 7'', the Koopa Kids appear to work for Bowser for money, calling him "Mr. Bowser" and expecting to get a raise from Bowser after causing trouble on a Koopa Kid Space.
