Electro-Koopas (alternatively spelled Electro-koopas),[1] also referred to as Electric Koopas[2] or Denki Nokonoko,[3] are Koopa Troopa enemies that appear in Super Mario Sunshine. They are quadrupedal Koopas, each with a shell adorned with electric coils that grant the enemy electrical powers. Because of this, Mario cannot defeat Electro-Koopas like other Koopa Troopas and stomp them out of or into their shells; simply spraying the enemies with water does not defeat them, either.
There are two types of Electro-Koopa: the aggressive Blue Electro-Koopa, which roams on the ground and attacks Mario on sight by tossing its shell, leaving it unshelled and vulnerable; and the passive Red Electro-Koopa, which electrocutes and clings to metal screens like Climbing Koopas and, like them, can be defeated if Mario punches it from the other side of the metal screen.
Electro-Koopas are common enemies in Pinna Park, and during "The Runaway Ferris Wheel," the Red Electro-Koopas and their leader, the Electro-Koopa King, take control of the park's Ferris wheel, causing it to rotate at a dangerous speed.
Electro-Koopas are one of many enemies and characters from Super Mario Sunshine to make a cameo appearance on the leaderboards in the Italian version of Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour.[4]

Names exclusive to localizations of the Super Mario Bros.
