'''Koopa Koot''' is an elderly [[Koopa Troopa]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He lives in [[Koopa Village]] and is friends with [[Goompa]] and [[Bootler]]. During his youth, the three traveled the globe in search of adventure. However, his adventuring days are now over. In fact, he needs other people to run errands for him. [[Mario]] helps Koopa Koot perform twenty tasks that the old Koopa cannot do by himself. One errand involves Mario retrieving a picture of the three old adventurers (Koopa Koot, Goompa, and Bootler) from a [[Boo]] in [[Boo's Mansion]] named [[Franky]], who says that Koopa Koot has always used people and was engaged in a few altercations because of that, after which started his habit of adventure. Franky also says that Koopa Koot's motto is "If it moves, use it until it drops." Often, Koopa Koot rewards Mario with a single [[coin]]. Occasionally, Mario receives a better reward, including [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]]s or memberships to the [[Playroom|game parlor]] in [[Toad Town]]. | '''Koopa Koot''' is an elderly [[Koopa Troopa]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

In the [[Crystal Palace]], four [[Duplighost]]s will try to disguise themselves as Kooper, but their cloaks fail and one ends up as Koopa Koot. | During Chapter 1, there is a gossip about Koopa Koot posted by "An anonymous Koopa" on the back side of [[Toad Town]]'s [[List of Toad Town News in Paper Mario|notice board]] which describes him as "a pretty self-centered old Koopa". After Chapter 6, a Toad in the Toad Town port mentions how Koopa Koot once traveled to Flower Fields in his younger days and, according to Koopa Koot, "valiantly saved [[Wise Wisterwood]]". The Toad also mentions he was the most famous Koopa and explorer in the land, and that this would have an influence on [[Kolorado]]'s adventuring life.

In '' | In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', [[Bowser]], when asked who he is by [[Bub]] or [[Pennington]], the player can choose to tell them his name is Koopa Koot, who Bowser describes as an "all-time ancient babbler" that threatens to "bore [them] to death." Additionally, during the [[65th Super Fun Quirk Quiz]], the first answer to the question "What is the name of the mayor of [[Petalburg]]?" is supposed to be Koopa Koot, but the English translation missed the reference and localized the name as "'''Kooskoos'''" instead. | ||

Koopa Koot will ask [[Mario]] for many favors throughout the game. Some of the favors require Mario to meet specific people and get an item in return. For every four favors Mario does for him, Koopa Koot will give Mario [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Pieces]], making this sidequest a necessity to fully complete the game. Completing favors 2 and 10 will give Mario a [[Silver Credit]] and a [[Gold Credit]] respectively. If Mario does not get Star Pieces, he receives 1 [[coin]]. It is actually possible, albeit in an obscure way, to complete the favors out of order, without glitches. Specifically, Koopa Koot will allow the player to give up on (skip) doing a favor but only if the player goes to [[Toad Town]] through [[Pleasant Path]] first.

This does not skip favors entirely - once Mario gets to the end of the list of unlocked favors (either by completing or giving up on the rest), Koot will ask Mario again to do the favors that he previously skipped (in a random order). The rewards given are only tied to the number of favors completed, not the particular favor.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2KBUOufTiU</ref> | ||

#For Koopa Koot's final errand, he wants a [[Red Jar]] given out at Little Mouser's Shop in Dry Dry Outpost. There, the player must buy the following items in order: [[Dusty Hammer]], Dried Pasta, Dusty Hammer, [[Dried Shroom]]; the last item is not specified in-game however, as Koopa Koot had forgotten what it was. Little Mouser gets the hint and promptly hands it over. | #For Koopa Koot's final errand, he wants a [[Red Jar]] given out at Little Mouser's Shop in Dry Dry Outpost.

After this, Koopa Koot's last "favor" is simply for Mario to defeat Bowser.
