Koopa Paratroopa: Difference between revisions

Koopa Paratroopas, again known as Para-Koopas,<ref>Williams, Drew. The ''Yoshi's Island DS'' Player's Guide. Pages 9, 10.</ref> reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. They act as a common enemy along with the Koopa Troopas. As in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', they exist in two different colors and attack in the same way they did in that game. In the [[Island Museum]], Para-Koopas appear in the Ground Exhibit, the same area where the Koopas appear in. Their appearance is similar to that of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', but they possess a much lighter outline and they are slightly larger. The level icon for [[Rock 'n' Fall]] features a Para-Koopa, which is additionally the first level they appear in.

Paratroopas make their second RPG appearance in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. The Paratroopas and Koopas of this game wear sunglasses, which separates them from the Koopas who help Mario; additionally all opponent Paratroopas have red shells. This feature is carried on into the later two installments. They are found in [[Pleasant Path]] and usually attempt to Shell Shot Mario when he approaches, as their [[First Strike]] and also their primary attack. In-battle, they are immune to [[Hammer]] attacks, but are weak to Jump attacks; jumping on them causes them to lose their wings and become normal Koopa Troopas. A Paratroopa mail carrier named [[Parakarry]] is also one of Mario's [[partner]]s in this game. His special ability is that he can carry Mario across small gaps. [[Dark Paratroopa]], a variant of the [[Dark Koopa]], [[List of Paper Mario pre-release and unused content|is an unused enemy]] that has stats and an unused [[Goombario]] tattle.
