Mega Koopa

The Mega Koopa is a giant Koopa Troopa in Super Paper Mario that got a Mega Star.

In Chapter 3-1, an ordinary Koopa Troopa saw Mario coming, so it ran for its life and hit a block containing the Mega Star and turned huge (using the same animations that any other character does when they use a Mega Star). Mario or Princess Peach (or Bowser or Luigi, who can also encounter it once they join the party later on) can become giant by using a Mega Star to defeat the Koopa, but it can also be defeated by an explosion from Boomer, Bowser's fire breath, Luigi's super jump, picking it up and throwing with Thoreau, protection barriers from Barry, or items. If the player picks up the Mega Koopa, it will hide in its shell and can be kicked before it gets out. When looked at in 3D, the Mega Koopa is 3D instead of flat.

It is possible to Tattle the Mega Koopa by returning to the room with it once the chapter is beaten.

When the player receives 100 shop points, they are given a Catch Card of the Mega Koopa.
