Super Koopa (enemy)

A Super Koopa is a shell-less Koopa that wears a cape, allowing it to fly. They are found in the game Super Mario World, where they appear mostly in Donut Plains' first level and the Twin Bridges area.

If Mario or Luigi jumps on a Super Koopa with a shining cape, not only will it become a blue cape-less Beach Koopa, but a feather will appear, implying that the Super Koopas are merely Beach Koopas with the capes provided by the feather. If you jump on a super koopa that doesn't have a shining cape, it will just become a shell-less beach koopa Spin Jumps and fireballs will defeat all Super Koopas in a single hit.

Super Koopas with shining capes or yellow capes with blue shoes will run, take off, and fly continuously forward. Super Koopas with yellow capes and red shoes will swoop down when Mario gets near, then rise back up. A red-caped and green-shoed Super Koopa will behave the same way, except that it is a randomly-generated enemy.

Trivia

 * Super Koopa is also the German name of Hookbill the Koopa.
