Koopa Krag

"Dagnabbit! I've been stuffed in this blasted book! Help me! Find that cantankerous Kamek! Whomp him good 'til he lets me out!"

- Koopa Krag

Koopa Krag is an elderly Koopa Troopa, and the grandfather of the lone Koopa in the game. He appears in Mario Party DS.

In Story Mode, when the player reaches Kamek's Library, Krag's grandson comes rushing to ask for help, as Kamek had, for unknown reasons (but possibly because he had a Sky Crystal in his possession), trapped Koopa Krag in one of his books. The player battles Kamek in Book Bash, thus freeing Koopa Krag. The old Koopa happily rewards Mario's gang with the fourth Sky Crystal. Koopa Krag owns a book that is a collectible, and according to the description, it has nine magical functions.
