Koopa Troopa Orb

The Koopa Troopa Orb (or Paratroopa Capsule in Mario Party 5) makes its first appearance in Mario Party 5 where it can be thrown to a space on the board or used on the player for ten coins. It will summon Paratroopa, who then will have the player hit a Dice Block to show an amount of coins. Paratroopa will then take coins from the opponents equal to the amount as shown on the Dice Block.

In Mario Party 6, it becomes the Koopa Troopa Orb that players can only place on a space as a roadblock trap. It costs ten coins at the Orb Shop. Although it is referred to as the Koopa Troopa Orb, it still features a Paratroopa. Opponents who pass the space containing the Orb makes Paratroopa appear to switch places with the owner of that Orb. If the player is under the effect of the Metal Mushroom Orb Paratroopa will lift the player but it gives up after a while, saying that the player is too heavy to lift.
