I also think that Electro-Koopas should be delisted as derived species of Koopa Troopas.  They're just too different to be considered subspecies.  They should be listed under [[Koopa (species)]] derived species instead.  Design-wise, electro-koopas are more different from Koopa Troopas than [[Boom Boom]]s are from [[Bowser]] and [[Chargin' Chuck]]. - [[User:Electric-Gecko|Electric-Gecko]] ([[User talk:Electric-Gecko|talk]]) 18:16, 31 August 2018 (EDT)

:Well, you have [[Koopeleon]], [[Bombshell Koopa]], and [[Snooza Koopa]] categorized under Koopa Troopa. I think the Electro-Koopas look more similar to Koopa Troopas than the other creatures that have "Koopa" in their name (Spike Koopa). I think the similarity is close enough to be considered a derived species of Koopa Troopa. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:23, 31 August 2018 (EDT)

Finally, [https://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive_42#Stop_using_the_term_.22sub-species.22_on_the_wiki we've retired the use of "sub-species" in the wiki], so I recommend against using it. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:23, 31 August 2018 (EDT)
:They have Nokonoko in their Japanese name. They are a variant of Nokonoko. Nokonoko is Koopa Troopa. Ergo, they are a derivative of Troopa specifically. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:23, 31 August 2018 (EDT)
