'''Tutankoopa''' is a  boss from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is notable for his pharaoh complex, his magic abilities (such as shattering into fragments at will, leaving only his eyes and crown visible), and his heavy association with [[Chain Chomp|Chomps]]. Like [[King Tut]] from [[Mario Pinball Land]], his name is based on the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, [[wikipedia:Tutankhamun|Tutankhamun]]. Though it is unknown whether he is truly a ghost or not, it is known that he serves the [[Koopa Troop]] in the present day.

[[Image:Tutankoopa_PM.png|frame|left]]
In ''Paper Mario'', Tutankoopa is the boss of the [[Dry Dry Ruins]] and the guardian of [[Mamar]] the [[Star Spirit]]. When [[Mario]] and his partners enter the Dry Dry Ruins, Tutankoopa's voice can be heard warning them to run away. He continues to deliver such warnings as the heroes progress through the ruins, losing his cool and starting to shout frantically when they approach the [[Super Hammer]]. [[Cortez]] uses similar warnings in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

Mario and co. finally reach the Koopa's room, where he summons his pet [[Chompy|Chomp]]. He then continues to attack the heroes by throwing shells at them and summoning an outline of a [[Chomp]] (mysteriously solid) to fall on them. At first he stands on a high ledge, so that he may only be hit by aerial attacks. However, after enough damage has been dealt, he messes up his Chomp spell and uses it on himself, injuring him and causing him to fall to the ground, making him vulnerable to ground attacks for one turn.

'''Attack Pattern:''' Summon Chomp, Throw Shell, Magic, repeat from Summon Chomp. After all 3 shells are exhausted, replaced with Magic. Magic stops hitting Tutankoopa when his HP reaches less than 3 (it becomes possible for Mario to farm 100 Star Points from the Chomps after his Magic stops backfiring).

After a long battle, the team is able to defeat the Koopa pharaoh. He is then attacked by his own Chomp and chased out of the ruins.

In the ending parade of ''Paper Mario'' Tutankoopa can be seen, still being chased by his Chomp until he sidestepped at the last moment. Afterwards, he briefly attended the parade, only to end up chased by more Chomps than before.

==Trivia==
*Tutankoopa bears a minor resemblance to [[King Tut]], a boss from ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''.
*The miniature Chomp head on Tutankoopa's hat seems to be alive, since it moves its mouth at times.
*Although he is supposed to be the 2nd major boss, [[Buzzar]] has 40 Heart Points while Tutankoopa has 30.
*When Mario first enters Dry Dry Ruins, Tutankoopa refers to himself as the "remorseless king of the desert." Bowser would also call himself by "Remorseless King" in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' (that is, if the player makes him choose that answer).
*His boss fight is one of the few areas Mario can farm 100 Star Points in a single battle (by repeatedly defeating his Chomps). [[Bill Blaster|Bill Blasters]] are another fight with this potential.

-'''Tutankoopa the Wizard''', commonly known just as '''Tutankoopa''', is the second boss of ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is notable for his pharaoh complex, his magic abilities (such as shattering into fragments at will, leaving only his eyes and crown visible), and his heavy association with [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]s. Chomps act as his primary minions, though they have grown annoyed with him due to being overworked. His name is based on the ancient Egyptian pharaoh {{wp|Tutankhamun}}.
-Tutankoopa is the boss of the [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]] and the guardian of the second [[Star Spirits|Star Spirit]], [[Mamar]]. When [[Mario]] and his partners enter the Dry Dry Ruins, Tutankoopa's voice can be heard warning them to run away. He continues to deliver such warnings as the heroes progress through the ruins, losing his cool and starting to shout frantically when they approach the [[Super Hammer]]. His warnings are similar to those of [[Cortez]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

-Mario and his team finally reach the Koopa's room, where he summons an endless amount of pet Chomps and can also attack with shells or magic from a high platform. Tutankoopa's attack pattern entails summoning a Chomp, throwing a [[Buzzy Shell]], and using magic, after which the sequence repeats. When he uses magic, he conjures up a giant Chomp to slam onto the floor, causing rocks to crumble from the ceiling onto Mario. However, this also has a chance of backfiring until Tutankoopa's HP is less than 3, causing him to be damaged, knocked from his perch, and briefly stunned. After he gets back up, he uses his magic to lift himself back into the platform. After all three shells are exhausted, Tutankoopa will go straight to using magic after summoning a Chomp. His boss fight is one of the few where Mario can farm 100 [[Star Point]]s in a single battle by repeatedly defeating his Chomp. When Tutankoopa is defeated, he falls off his platform and is approached by a Chomp. After he attempts to call it over, it angrily chases him out of the ruins.

-In the [[Victory parade|ending parade]] of ''Paper Mario'', Tutankoopa can be seen, still being chased by a Chomp until he sidesteps at the last moment. Afterwards, he briefly attends the parade, only to end up chased by three Chomps. The method in which he evades his Chomp resembles the Paper Mode ability in later ''Paper Mario'' games.
+Mario and co. finally reach the Koopa's room, where he summons his pet [[Chompy|Chomp]]. He then continues to attack the heroes by throwing shells at them and summoning an outline of a [[Chomp]] (mysteriously solid) to fall on them.

-In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', he appears in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 25|volume 25]]'s chapter 7. Like in the game, he is instructed to stop Mario from saving Mamar. Tutankoopa attacks Mario, [[Kooper]], and [[Goombario]] with his numerous spells and protects himself with a magic barrier. A [[Stone Chomp]] that Kooper previously aided comes and passes them a [[D-Down Pound]] [[badge]]. Kooper uses it to break through Tutankoopa's shield, defeating him. A similar plotline, in which a previously-aided Chain Chomp comes to the rescue of the heroes, turning its back own its owner, would be re-used in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' arc during the [[Iggy Koopa]] battle.
+'''Attack Pattern:''' Summon Chomp, Throw Shell, Magic, repeat from Summon Chomp. After all 3 shells are exhausted, replaced with Magic. Magic stops hitting Tutankoopa when his HP reaches less than 3 (it becomes possible for Mario to farm 100 Star Points from the Chomps after his Magic stops backfiring).
-Tutankoopa is referenced in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''; a Bowser sphinx appears on the [[Pyramid Park]] map, wearing a pharaoh crown and nemes with the same colors as Tutankoopa's. The crown also has a Chain Chomp ornament. The map itself is also heavily associated with Chain Chomps, as is Tutankoopa.
+After a long battle, the team is able to defeat the Koopa pharaoh. He is then attacked by his own Chomp and chased out of the ruins.
