Koopa Troop



The Koopa Troop (also known as the Koopa Kingdom, Koopa Clan, Bowser Baddies and Koopa Pack in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!) is a militaristic dictatorship led by Bowser, King of the Koopas. The Koopa Troop wishes to take over the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom, and, ultimately, the entire world. The Koopa Troop has taken over the Mushroom Kingdom multiple times and has even attempted to take over the Mushroom World. According to Kammy Koopa in Paper Mario, the motive for the clan is to have revenge against all whom treated Koopas poorly.

The Koopa Troop is nearly unstoppable. Bowser has an almost unlimited supply of Goomba and Koopa soldiers at his disposal; the Koopa Troop also has an army (with tanks), a navy (with ships) and an air force (with airships). Despite having a huge military, the Koopa Troop is continuously defeated by Mario and his brother Luigi, the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom, as well as those who assist the Mario Bros. on their missions to protect the Mushroom Kingdom.

The main force of the Koopa Troop differs from game to game. Koopa Troopas are quite obviously the most intelligent of their widely-used members and Magikoopas, Hammer Bros. and Koopatrols are among their elites. Also, strangely, Yoshi Topsy-Turvy seems to suggest that Fly Guys, who were constantly seen en masse during Bowser's cutscene-illustrated operations, were the Koopa Troop's main soldiers. The Yoshi series seems to suggest that back while Bowser was a baby, the troop's main force mainly consisted of Shy Guys.

During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mario eventually joined the Koopa Troop. When Bowser joined Mario's Party at Booster Tower, he made Mario, Mallow and Geno honorary members.

Appearances in Other Media


In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, the creatures under the command of King Koopa were often referred to by the Koopa Pack and on one occasion, Koopa Troopers and Team Koopa; though in later episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, the name Koopa Pack seemed to be used interchangeably between generic minions of King Koopa and a subsidiary group consisting of King Koopa, Mouser, Tryclyde and a single, unnamed Koopa Troopa. Additionally, the battle cry of the Koopa Pack, which was often yelled by King Koopa, was "Koopa Pack, attack!".
