| '''Kooper''' is [[Mario]]'s second party member in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is a blue, adventure-loving (and seemingly young) [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] who dreams of becoming an archaeologist like his childhood hero [[Kolorado]]. He is the exact opposite of his successor, [[Koops]], personality-wise. However, in the battle field, the two have very similar abilities. Kooper's name is a pun on "Cooper", but with a K for Koopa.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Kooper appears as a [[Catch Card]] found on the thirtieth floor of the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' he is a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]] that raises arm attack power of a player by ten.

| Mario and [[Goombario]] enter [[Koopa Village]] to find that [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] have attacked the village and are stealing all the Koopas' [[Koopa Shell|shells]]. Mario gets the shells back for the Koopas and eventually finds Kooper. He tells Mario that [[Kooper's Shell|his blue shell]] had been stolen by a Fuzzy and Mario agrees to get it back. Once Mario gets the shell back for Kooper, he joins the party. In the field, Kooper will retreat into his shell and Mario can shoot him out short distances, allowing him to flip switches, grab items and attack [[enemies]]. Kooper has a defense value of 1, meaning he takes one less damage from attacks that happen to damage partners.
| |
| | |
| When the game ends, Kooper is seen in an expedition with Kolorado in [[Shiver City]]. Kooper is told by [[Parakarry]] that [[Princess Peach|Peach]] wants him at the party (which is held at the end of the game). Kooper wants to help Kolorado instead, but Kolorado insists he goes to the party, and so he does.

| *Although Kooper's artwork depicts him having an "X"-shaped arrangement of bandages on his cheek, no in-game sprites has shown him as such, not even those of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' or ''Super Paper Mario''. However, an [[List of Paper Mario pre-release and unused content|"X"-shaped bandage has been found by hacking into the game]].
| |
| *There were many instances in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' where Mario erroneously referred to [[Bowser|King Koopa]] as "Kooper", which was far [[Paper Mario|before the game was released]].
