“Just call me General.”
—Malakoopa, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Malakoopas are small, green-shelled Koopa Paratroopas and are basically a renaming of the species. The enemy is similar to its much bulkier sister-species, the Tub-O-Troopa, in some respects. The smaller species, just like the larger, has no particular strengths, and a weakness to Thunder. They are also found in the same area — Bowser's Keep. Despite all of these similarities, Malakoopas are the weaker of the two, due to the Tub-O-Troopas' large bulks. Regardless of being loyal to Smithy, the enemy still recognizes Bowser and will either run away or become confused at the sight of the Koopa King.
