Snooze-A-Koopas, unlike their relatives, have flippers instead of hands or feet, and walk on all fours, similar to actual [[Wikipedia:Sea turtle|sea turtles]]. They are also quite large and have a shell with a [[Yoshi Egg]]-like pattern on it. True to their name, Snooze-A-Koopas are mostly found asleep; Mario can rouse them with a blast from [[F.L.U.D.D.]] When awake, they will attempt to jump on Mario. If they miss and land in the sand, they will become vulnerable to a [[Ground Pound]].

[[File:SnoozeAKoopaSMS.PNG|thumb|left|Mario about to do a Ground Pound on a flipped Snooze-A-Koopa.]]
Mario's only encounter with Snooza Koopas is in [[The Wilted Sunflowers|the fourth episode]] of [[Pinna Park]], where he must save several [[Sunflower Kid]]s who are wilting due to a large gang of Snooza Koopas nibbling on their roots. After finishing this episode, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] are available to use. Yoshis were not available previously because they fled [[Isle Delfino]] when Snooza Koopas invaded their habitat, partly because Snooza Koopa's shells resemble Yoshi eggs. In fact, a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] tells Mario that Yoshis used to live on the island. After Mario defeats the Snooza Koopas, the [[Great Sunflower]] tells Mario that the Yoshis might now return to the island. Despite this, a [[Noki]] in [[The Yoshi-Go-Round's Secret|the sixth episode]] still tells Mario that the Yoshis are gone. They are similar to [[Electro-Koopa]]s.

After finishing this episode, [[Yoshi]] will be unlocked.

In fact, a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] tells Mario that Yoshis used to live on the island. They once again inhabit the island once Mario gets rid of the Snooze-A-Koopas, making it possible that they are predators of the Yoshis. They are similar to Electro-Koopas.
