Bowser's Minions

Revision as of 11:45, January 26, 2015 by LinkTheLefty (talk | contribs) (This really bloats the opening paragraph. Added Japanese references and some accompanying furigana; removed "Bowser organization" since that seems to be Nastasia being formal, and "Bowser Baddies" since it was only used to refer to the Koopa Cruiser crew.)

A small portion of the Koopa Troop, after their defeat from the Smithy Gang.

The Koopa Troop,[1][2] also known as the Turtle Tribe,[3][4] the Koopa clan,[5][6] or simply the Koopa,[3] is a group led by King Bowser Koopa. The Koopa Troop has taken over the Mushroom Kingdom multiple times and has even attempted to take over the Dinosaur Land and the universe. According to Kammy Koopa in Paper Mario, the motive for the clan is to have revenge against all who have treated Koopa Troopas poorly, though many of their goals are based entirely on Bowser's own interests. Despite the name Koopa in the troop's name, not all members of the troop are Koopas.

The Koopa forces differ from game to game. Goombas and Koopa Troopas are among the most common, and Magikoopas, Hammer Bros., and Koopatrols are among their elites.

During Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mario eventually joins the Koopa Troop. When Bowser joined Mario's Party at Booster Tower, he makes Mario, Mallow, and Geno honorary members.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the Koopa Troop is shown to be split into different divisions (the Goomba unit, the Shy Guy unit, the Koopa unit, the Bob-omb unit and the Magikoopa unit), as evidenced when Fawful shows Bowser his captured soldiers. As Bowser rescues his soldiers, he is able to use them as attacks, for example, using a squadron of Shy Guys to sling Bowser forward to the enemy.

The Koopa Pack.

In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, the enemies under the command of King Koopa are often referred to as the Koopa Pack, although it seems to be used interchangeably between generic minions of King Koopa and a core group consisting of King Koopa, Mouser, Tryclyde, and a single Koopa Troopa. One occasion, they also went by Koopa Troopers and Team Koopa.
