Time to get right down to it. Per the above discussion, the original Super Mario RPG was the first time the "Koopa Troop" name was used. However, it is a game that's pretty notorious for lots of translation disrepancies, further evidenced by Mister Wu's comment about it being a possible transliteration. In the game's remake, this was one of many names changed, this case to "Bowser's Minions" as has been used in many prior games way more often than "Koopa Troop". Although there have been several other games that used "Koopa Troop", the latest (that I'm aware of) being [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]] in one line of dialogue, I think by this point "Bowser's Minions" has by far become the more recognisable name.
