'''Koopa Koot''' is an elderly [[Koopa Troopa]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He lives in [[Koopa Village]] and is friends with [[Goompa]] and [[Bootler]]. During his youth, the three traveled the globe in search of adventure. However, his adventuring days are now over. In fact, he needs other people to run errands for him. [[Mario]] helps Koopa Koot perform twenty tasks that the old Koopa cannot do by himself. One errand involves Mario retrieving a picture of the three old adventurers (Koopa Koot, Goompa, and Bootler) from a [[Boo]] in  [[Boo's Mansion]] named [[Franky]], who says that Koopa Koot has always used people and was engaged in a few altercations because of that, after which started his habit of adventure. Franky also says that Koopa Koot's motto is "If it moves, use it until it drops." Often, Koopa Koot rewards Mario with a single [[coin]]. Occasionally, Mario receives a better reward, including [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]]s or memberships to the [[Playroom|game parlor]] in [[Toad Town]]. The concept of Mario doing favors and running errands for people would be recycled in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' with the inclusion of the [[Trouble Center]].

During Chapter 1, there is a gossip about Koopa Koot posted by "An anonymous Koopa" on the back side of [[Toad Town]]'s [[List of Toad Town News in Paper Mario|notice board]] which describes him as "a pretty self-centered old Koopa". After Chapter 6, a Toad in the Toad Town port mentions how Koopa Koot once traveled to Flower Fields in his younger days and, according to Koopa Koot, "valiantly saved [[Wise Wisterwood]]". The Toad also mentions he was the most famous Koopa and explorer in the land, and that this would have an influence on [[Kolorado]]'s adventuring life. In the [[Crystal Palace]], four [[Duplighost]]s will try to disguise themselves as Kooper, but their cloaks fail and one ends up as Koopa Koot.

 

In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', [[Bowser]], when asked who he is by [[Bub]] or [[Pennington]], the player can choose to tell them his name is Koopa Koot, who Bowser describes as an "all-time ancient babbler" that threatens to "bore [them] to death." Additionally, during the [[65th Super Fun Quirk Quiz]], the first answer to the question "What is the name of the mayor of [[Petalburg]]?" is supposed to be Koopa Koot, but the English translation missed the reference and localized the name as "'''Kooskoos'''" instead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*"''This is the oldest Koopa in Koopa Village. His name is Koopa Koot. He's famous for being selfish, stingy and impatient. He doesn't ask for things that are impossible, but you can bet the tasks will be hard and time-consuming.''"

 

*In the NTSC-U version of Paper Mario, one of Koopa Koot's responses to favors that Mario has completed for him erroneously refers to Crazee Dayzees as "Crazy Dayzees". This error was fixed in the PAL version.
