Koopatrol



Koopatrols are elite soldiers in the Koopa Troop that made their debut in Paper Mario. These warriors are the high-ranking guards of Bowser's Castle. Most Koopa Troopas dream of becoming Koopatrols. They appear in physique similar to Koopa Troopas, but they wear intimidating spiky armor.

During the events of Paper Mario, Koopatrols could be found patrolling Bowser's Castle, as well as Princess Peach's Castle, after Bowser stole the peaceful castle and uprooted it into the stratosphere.

Koopatrols were later found in Rogueport Sewers during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door after Mario and his team clear Chapter 5. An advanced type of Koopatrol, the Dark Koopatrol, is also found in this game.

Koopatrol also appears in Mario Pinball Land, again as an enemy in Bowser's Castle. Here, Koopatrols can only be defeated by bashing them into wall, crushing them.
