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

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.
 
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', the name "Snooza" appears on the [[Shifting Sands]] leaderboard when playing a Star Tournament.

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. They once again inhabit the island once Mario gets rid of the Snooza Koopas, making it possible that they are predators of the Yoshis. They are similar to [[Electro-Koopa]]s.
