Variant of Koopa Troopa

KP Koopas are Koopa Troopas that appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its remake. Unlike most Koopas, their shells are yellow, a distinction shared with similar looking Koopa Troopas that appear in Super Mario World. Two KP Koopas, one of which is King K, and one KP Paratroopa are members of the Glitz Pit team The KP Koopas; these are the only two KP Koopas in the game. They share the same abilities as regular Koopa Troopas, differing only in the coloration of their shell.

Trivia[edit]

  • In the Tattle Log in the original game, like the Spania, the Defense information for this enemy says "Defense is 1". In all the other enemies the "is" is replaced by a colon (:).
  • The log for KP Paratroopas states that he dyed his shell yellow, though it is unknown if this applies to only the KP Paratroopa or the two KP Koopas as well.
