Snooza Koopa

Snooza Koopas are bizarre-looking Koopas encountered by Mario in Super Mario Sunshine. Snooza Koopas, unlike their relatives, have flippers instead of hands or feet and walk on all fours. They are also quite large and have a shell with a Yoshi Egg-like pattern on it. True to their name, Snooza Koopas are mostly found asleep. Mario can wake Snooza Koopas with a blast from FLUDD. When awake, they will attempt to jump on Mario, if they miss they will land on their back and become vulnerable to a Ground Pound.

Mario's first and only encounter with Snooza Koopas is in one of the Pinna Park episodes, where he must save several sunflowers who are wilting due to a large gang of Snooza Koopas nibbling on their roots.

They also are the reason Yoshis left Isle Delfino, for the Snooza Koopas have shells that resemble Yoshi Eggs.
