Koopa Legends

The Koopa Legends is a special item found only in Paper Mario.

After Kooper joins Mario and his party, a elderly Koopa Troopa named Koopa Koot has a favor for Mario. He asks if he wanted to borrow this book from Kolorado, the only Koopa in the village who has a copy of it. To get it, Mario has to ask Kolorado's Wife to ask for the book. After finding it, she'll give it to Mario as she mentions that the book is found behind the bookshelf that Mario can't find at the other room. She also mentions that it is a strange book that contains pictures of Koopa Shells and exercises as it reads "Firmer shells in 30 days" in the book. Mario then has to give the book to Koopa Koot, who rewards him with a single coin.
