Variant of Mechakoopa

Mega Mechakoopas (originally known as Big Mechakoopas) are larger variants of Mechakoopas.

History[edit]

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[edit]

Big Mechakoopa
A Big Mechakoopa in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the Big Mechakoopa variant of Bowser Jr.'s Mechakoopa move spawns a Big Mechakoopa. Unlike normal Mechakoopas, the Big Mechakoopa can only deal damage upon exploding, and it deals more damage and knockback.

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party 10[edit]

A Mega Mechakoopa serves as one of the game's mid-bosses. In its boss minigame Mega Mechakoopa's Swing & Stomp, players must ride up elevators and swing on suspensions hanging from the ceiling to jump on the Mega Mechakoopa's head and deal damage. As its health dwindles, the Mega Mechakoopa moves more erratically and breathes fire to try and catch players off-guard.

Super Mario Party Jamboree[edit]

A Mega Mechakoopa reappears in Super Mario Party Jamboree, appearing in King Bowser's Keep. Just like their smaller variants, they are defeated by a roll of the dice, but if a player does not defeat them, they will breathe fire on them and take five coins away instead of three. Mega Mechakoopas have seven hit points each; if a player defeats one, they earn 15 coins and a new one is put in its place.

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

In Super Mario Maker 2, Mechakoopas can be enlarged with a Super Mushroom, thus creating Mega Mechakoopas. They act the same as their smaller counterparts, right down to using jet engines in the nighttime ground theme, but cannot be picked up.
