Talk:Koopa Paratroopa

Were they ever officially named "Koopa Paratroopa" or do they only appear as simply "Paratroopa"s? Shouldn't the page be moved to Paratroopa? - Cobold

I've never heard it be called "Koopa Partroopa" i second the motion...Merge! Great Gonzo


 * They have been called Koopa Paratroopas rarely but Pratroopas mkore often. MOVE!

Koopa Paratroopa is the original name from Super Mario Bros. -- Son of Suns
 * I really believe that Paratroopa (or even Parakoopa) is the better name for this. We should have a poll, I guess. - 09:11, 10 August 2007 (EDT)

P-Wing
Er... I thought the "P" in P-Wing stands for "power". Does it really stand for "Paratroopa"? --PaperStriker 04:14, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I thought it meant "Power" as well! Which is it?
 * Yep, it's Paratroopa-Wing. --Mario Versus Luigi

Parakoopa/Paratroopa
Are Paratroopas evil and Parakoopas nice? That's what I always thought. --Blappity blappity boo I don't know.

Offical name?
Were Paratroopas ever called Sky Troopas in offical material?

MERGE!!!!!
They are not a subspecies, just Koopas with wings. We should merge this with Koopa Troopa.
 * There are many reasons why we wouldn't merge them. Two examples are: They act differently and are different playable characters in some games.
 * Also there name it different and why don't you do me a favor Koopaman and make a draft of the Koopa Troopa page with the Koopa Paratroopas merged in to it
 * BUT THERE ARE NOT A SUBSPECIES!!!!!!!
 * Calm down now there are a lot of things that have there own page

Green Paratroopas Hovering?
According to the article, the green Paratroopas bounce off the ground, while the red Paratroopas hover in a set path. However, in World 7-1 of New Super Mario Bros., there are green Paratroopas hover above a bottomless pit. Could this mean that both green Paratroopas and red Paratroopas are more or less the same?

 * Well the whole thing is a confusion but as a general rule Red Koopas hover and Green Koopas hop. If you want to mention it in the Trivia section or somewhere else go ahead but these small details are sometimes better just to be overlooked to prevent even more confusion. Good observing though. 13:31, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

Mario Kart Mistake
I saw in the Mario Kart section that it said that Paratroopa was one of three characters in the mainstream Mario Kart not to appear in Mario Kart Wii. While that is not true, because there are 8 including Paratroopa, bold indicates not in the article. (Paratroopa, Petey (DD), DK Jr. (SMK),R.O.B. (DS), Metal Mario, Lakitu, Queen Bee/Honey Queen, Wiggler (MK7) Does "mainstream" not include handhelds?
 * It includes them. -- 12:01, 31 August 2012 (EDT)
