Red Electrokoopas[1] are enemies in Super Mario Sunshine. They are both a variant of Climbing Koopa and one of two kinds of Electro-Koopas, along with the blue type. Red Electrokoopas are quadrupeds and wear a red electrical shell each. Red Electrokoopas climb on metal screens. The Electro-Koopa King (which is colored green) causes the problem in The Runaway Ferris Wheel. An Red Electrokoopa can be defeated from either a kick, a punch, or a ground pound either from the other side of the metal screen or from below. A Red Electrokoopa electrocutes Mario on contact, but it damages him from the shock, not by knocking him off the metal screen. Red Electrokoopas crawl back and forth. A squeaking noise can be heard while a Red Electrokoopa climbs around.
