Talk:Koopa Troopa

Why are these MK-related items (Red Homing Shell, Green Shell, Blue Shell) under a section of Koopa Troopa? Those are items that should have their own pages. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 15:25, 31 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Long ago, in the early days of this Wiki, some users decided that it would be better to place info of items related to species in the articles. Those days should end now. I think we should seperate the items from the species page. They are related, but both are distinct enough to have their own pages. -- Son of Suns

Stats for Every Koopa
I think the Paper Mario stats for every Koopa should be erased from this page and be placed in the appropriate article. It is really unneccesary to have the stats for each character and sub-species when the articles themselves already have those stats. -- Son of Suns

Specie vs. Character
Should there be an article for the Koopa character (the Koopa in Super Mario Kart, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and others) and the Koopa Troopa species like Yoshi and Yoshi (species)? Paper Jorge

I need an answer please. Paper Jorge

No not really. Why not create a separate page for Boo and Shy Guy? Toad and Yoshi are an exception because they have have some purpose as an individual characters. We can't really write anything about the character Koopa Troopa can we? There is not enough info about him other than he appears playable in Mario Sports games.

The Koopa Troopa playable character is just a generic Koopa Troopa. Toad, on the other hand, is the specific name of a Toad. Same with Yoshi. Thus we don't need another Koopa Troopa article. -- Son of Suns

What Is With That Picture?
I am deleting The top picture for Koopa Troopa because it is fanart and not a help to the wiki. Whoever put that picture there in the first place should be given a warning. So there!--PeteyPiranhaLover 22:16, 12 December 2006 (EST)

It is not fanart. Paper Jorge

But if it's not fanart, then what is it from?--PeteyPiranhaLover 22:30, 12 December 2006 (EST)

I believe it is from Super Mario Bros. 3. Always ask before removing images please! Paper Jorge

Is not possible
Separate the types of shell in the article about koopas species is very difficult, because Shell, Koopa Shell, Spiny Shell, Red, or Green Shell, are linked with the central article. --Coincollector 19:04, 2 January 2007 (EST)Coincollector

Actually it's possible. When you click on a link of those it will redirect you here, BUT! It will say REDIRECTED FROM (Article Name). Click on (Article Name) and then edit and...confusing. Paper Jorge

The only way to quit this confusing classification is to dump the redirections and become them as own articles.--Coincollector 19:12, 2 January 2007 (EST)Coincollector

Who changed my description?!
WHO changed my picture description and its place of the koopa from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show? - Super Yoshi10
 * Does it matter?
 * The wiki can be edited by everyone, and changes have to be applied. You cannot count on that something you did in April (!) still is unchanged in the article. - 09:20, 3 October 2007 (EDT)

Sub-Species?
We really need to sort out what this means. I think Magikoopas and Hammer Bros. should be considered different species from Koopa Troopas, as they have many notable physical differences from Troopas. However, while Paratroopas are different too, they can loose their wings and become normal Koopa Troopas, so what does that make them? I'll agree with calling them sub-species, same with Ankoopas and whatnot, but what about Colossal Koopa Paratroopas? Its a subspecies of a subspecies, so should it really be listed in this article? - Walkazo
 * I wouldn't consider Paratroopas to be a subspecies. They are just normal Koopas who have wings. I feel the same way about Ankoopas, they are just Koopa Troopas who are bigger.Although it's fine to include them there for clairty's sake. Goomb-omb

Edited Name Section
I edited the name section a bit to fix some grammar mistakes. Mumbles 15:45, 31 May 2008 (EDT)

Other Apperances
Is two sections for "Other Appearances" REALLY necessary? Kobble

"Other Appearances in Media" and "Other Appearances" are different, but I think the media one should be changed to simply "Appearances in Media". 16:31, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, I agree with the name "Appearances in Media". But the second paragraph needs to be deleted, since it's the exact same paragraph stated in "Other Appearances". Kobble

Quote
No offense to whoever found this quote, but could we add a different one? I don't think that Koopa Troopa's love of golf is one of their defining characteristics of the species. Goomb-omb 19:56, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

Noknok shell
Does the Japanese name give the name of SMRPG's Noknok shell? Binks 15:35, 13 September 2008 (EDT)

Not true!
The headline "Fire Sale" needs to be changed because the koopa troopas do make an appearance in The Adventures of the Super Mario Bros. 3 in the episode "Do the Koopa"! --Count b 20:26, 9 February 2009 (EST)Count b
 * You can go ahead and fix it, if you want! ;)

Koopa redirect
I've noticed that a lot of members of the koopa troop, Magikoopas, Hammer Bros, Spiny, and even Bowser are referred to as Koopas which in this wiki redirects to Koopa Troopa. Now Bowser and Spiny are definitely not Koopa Troopas. Should we have a separate article about all "koopa" species, or is that unnecessary since Koopa Troop and Koopa Troopa both provide a lot of information? Either that, or could Koopa redirect to Koopa Troop instead? Sorry if I am being nitpicky :(
