This is the first of (hopefully) many templates that make navigating through the many articles about Mario species much easier. This Koopa template includes all the species and subspecies that have artciles or are mentioned in artciles of similar species here on Super Mario Wiki, organized into families. I have expanded on these divisions on my Koopas page.

Anyway, once I wrap up my Koopa Taxonomy project I will start making templates for other large and/or confusing familial grouos (such as Shy Guys, or "Beanified"/"Shroobified" creatures).

=Koopa Templates Project= I am going to make a Proposal in which the Koopas Template (first one below) is replaced by my template above (with the same format for the Characters as well as the Species), since the existing one is too large and confusing for what it's worth. The improvements will make the template even larger, so it should be used less. To facilitate this, I'll also propose that a Koopa Troopa Template it developed (and thus can be used in place of the Koopas Template for species such as Koopatrol, etc.) therefore the "master template" will only be used for articles that don't fit into any of the other ones, such as Bowser or Chargin' Chuck, plus the Koopa Troopa article as it is the "master artcile" for the Koopas (I'd also like to propose that that's rectified with the creation of a straight Koopa article, refering to all the species, families, kingdom, etc. - but that will be saved for another day). Finally, while I'm going to all this trouble already I mind as well fix some of the colour scemes to make it more diverse.

Existing Templates
These are all the templates corresponding to Koopas around now, the first being the main one for the enemy group.

These are all in correspondance to a certain sub-division of Koopas:

Split Templates
First of all is a Koopa Troopa only Template:

Then, the Koopas Template would be widdled down so it only includes species and characters not included in any of the other templates:
