He is a young [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] who never left his egg after he was born. He lives near [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]] and enjoys picking on the other kids. He has his own piece of territory he calls "Jr. Troopa's Playground." At the beginning of the game, [[Goompa]] states that Jr. Troopa is the boss of a "neighborhood gang," but none of its other members are ever seen. Throughout the game, Jr. Troopa trails [[Mario]] and his allies during their adventure and returns in stronger form after each defeat. Mario battles him a total of six times throughout the game. | ||

Jr. Troopa debuts in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where he is encountered and fought by [[Mario]] a total of six times throughout the course of the game. He first appears shortly after Mario and [[Goompa]] recover the [[Hammer]] and start heading back to [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]]. Angered that Mario and Goompa have trespassed into his territory/playground, he challenges Mario to a fight. However, Mario is able to defeat him with hardly any difficulty. After he is defeated, Jr. Troopa flees, allowing Mario to continue on his way. | Jr. Troopa debuts in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where he is encountered and fought by [[Mario]] a total of six times throughout the course of the game.

As he dashes toward Mario, he accidentally slips and falls into the water nearby, though manages to get back up to Mario and his partner, who then comments on Jr. Troopa. | ||

Following this, Jr. Troopa asks Mario whether he remembers him. Regardless of how Mario answers, he commences a second battle with him, during which he is able to hide in his shell to raise his defense. Despite this, Mario is still able to defeat him. Rather than leave immediately this time, however, Jr. Troopa instead remains in this spot for some time, visibly disoriented | Following this, Jr. Troopa asks Mario whether he remembers him.

Jr. Troopa is encountered a third time while Mario is traversing [[Forever Forest]] after obtaining the [[Super Boots]]. He is so lost and scared he is initially glad to see Mario, though quickly remembers that they are rivals. This prompts another line of dialogue, which varies depending on who Mario's partner is at the time. | Jr. Troopa is encountered a third time while Mario is traversing [[Forever Forest]].

Having not given up on pursuing Mario, Jr. Troopa trails him to [[Lavalava Island]], swimming all the way across the ocean after [[Sushie]] has been recruited. However, just as he arrives, Mario leaves on the back of a [[Whale (character)|Whale]], forcing Jr. Troopa to turn around and swim back across the ocean.

Jr. Troopa arrives at the harbor in Toad Town just after Mario and challenges him yet again. This time, Jr. Troopa places a spike on top of his head to use in addition to his wings. However, his [[Heart Point|HP]] is lowered significantly to twenty as a result of his continuous swimming and consequential exhaustion. After he is defeated, Jr. Troopa realizes that he should have just flown across the ocean instead, blaming this on this defeat. Like after his second defeat, Jr. Troopa remains in this spot for some time before disappearing. | ||
While exploring [[Shiver Snowfield]], Mario encounters Jr. Troopa a fifth time.

*Jr. Troopa breaks the [[fourth wall]] during the fourth fight, where he remarks his HP bar has dropped in half. | |||
*In one of his conversations with Mario, Jr. Troopa erroneously calls himself Jr. Koopa in the NTSC-U version. This error was corrected in the PAL version. | *In one of his conversations with Mario, Jr. Troopa erroneously calls himself Jr. Koopa in the NTSC-U version.

* | *During Chapter 3, Jr. Troopa encounters Mario in Forever Forest as soon as the latter obtains the [[Super Boots]] in [[Boo's Mansion]] and tries to leave the forest. During Chapter 5, he appears on Lavalava Island as soon as Mario leaves on the [[Whale (character)|Whale]] once he obtains [[Sushie]]. This is likely due to the fact that, once Mario has those items, he can activate Warp Pipes in [[Toad Town Tunnels]] that connect with those areas, which would otherwise cause the player to skip a Jr. Troopa battle. | ||
*The player can attack him after beating him at Pleasant Path, Toad Town (after returning from Lavalava Island), and Shiver Snowfield, with him grunting in pain. | |||
*Jr. Troopa's battle theme plays at a slower tempo during the battles in Forever Forest and Bowser's Castle. | |||
