Kylie Koopa

"That's right, Kylie Koopa's got your number!"

- Kylie Koopa

Kylie Koopa is a female pink-shelled Koopa Troopa who debuts in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. She works as a journalist for the Koopa Kronicle, which is most likely a news organization in the Mushroom Kingdom of the past. As a reporter that is always on the lookout for "The Big Scoop", she has a ritzy personality, uses slang when she talks, and likes to take lots of pictures with her camera. She is a friendly Koopa who supports the Mario Bros. on their adventures.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
The four heroes of past and present first encountered her when they were traveling to Yoshi's Island. There, they see her actively snapping pictures and getting information about the Shroob monster, Yoob. The Mario Bros. see her trying to find out where the Yoshis were, and the babies help her out. However, shortly after finding the Yoshis, they are also found and eaten by Yoob. Kylie Koopa attempts to take pictures right in Yoob's face, causing her to be eaten. However, since Kylie was a Koopa, Yoob immediately spat her out.

Kylie is not seen again until the four heroes enter Gritzy Desert, where she tells the brothers about the Shroob meeting and the secret entrance to the Koopaseum. Later, she gets kidnapped and tied up by the Shroobs in the Koopaseum and then left as food for Petey Piranha. The Mario Bros. rescue her in Gritzy Caves and defeat Petey, and after revealing that Princess Peach had been eaten by Petey, but had been spat out, Kylie spun away.

Later on in the game, when it seemed as all hope was lost for the Bros. against Princess Shroob, Kylie reveals that she was disguised as one of the Shroobs and rescues the team. She then finds out Toadbert recovered his memory, and they quickly follow the Mario Bros. to tell them. However, she and Toadbert get defeated by an Elder Shrooboid and both get turned into Shroob Mushrooms by the Elder Shrooboid's lightning. At the end of the game, she gets turned back into normal form (along with many others) by baby tears.

One of the Toads in Peach's Castle mentions having read a book called "Fungicide: The Epic Battle for the Mushroom Kingdom". The book had been written by Kylie, and is implied to be about the adventure of the four Mario Bros. and their battle against the Shroobs.

"You wanna know why I'm here? Glad you asked, boys! Name's Kylie Koopa! Ace guidebook writer for the entire island!"

Kylie returns in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. She now works in a building in Wakeport where she writes tourist guides. Strangely, although this game takes place in the present day, Kylie Koopa still looks no older or different than she did in the past. She also does not seem to remember the Bros., due to the numerous jobs she has had in her career. All throughout Pi'illo Island, Kylie had left blocks with snapshots called Camera Blocks that Mario and Luigi can find and retrieve their snapshots from. Because the snapshots are encrypted, Kylie asks the brothers to decrypt them for her by rearranging pieces of the image. Kylie times the Bros. when reassembling the snapshots, and rewards them with Coins or DX Beans if they complete it under a time limit.

During the ending credits, Kylie Koopa is seen taking a picture of Princess Peach and some Toads on Mount Pajamaja. In the group picture at the end, her cap and arm can be seen at the bottom.

 * "I thought I'd get the straight dope from the locals, but..."
 * "This place is like a morgue! Where is everybody?"

 * "Didn't even notice customers! Kylie's losing a step!"
 * "Eh? You think we met somewhere before?"
 * "You're sure ol' Kylie was a reporter back then?"
 * "Fellas, I've had so many jobs, I can't even start!"
 * "Anyway, it ain't got nothing to do with the fix I'm in!"
 * "I'm busy as a beaver and ain't got time for yakking..."
 * "You whisker boys'd be ace assistants, huh!"
 * "You look like a coupla limp noodles, but I'm betting you got some guts!"
