'''Mechakoopas''' (also formatted as '''Mecha Koopas''', '''Mecha-Koopas''',<ref>M. Arakawa. Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide. Page 147.</ref> or '''Meca Koopas'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #39, page 63.</ref>) are one of [[Bowser]]'s many minions that debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are small mechanical versions of Bowser, resembling windup toys. Each of them has a windup key on its back, and their appearances feature several mechanical appendages. They walk in a rhythmical way and must wind themselves up again from time to time in order to keep moving. In most appearances, they have large lazy-eyed, slack-jawed faces resembling Bowser's original sprites from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and [[Lemmy Koopa]].

Mechakoopas, referred to as '''Mechkoopas''' and sometimes generically called "'''robots'''," appear in several episodes throughout the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' animated series]]. Unlike their game counterparts, the animated Mechkoopas have light-green arms with white claws on their fingers.

In ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', Mechakoopas (parsed '''Mecha Koopas'''<ref>''Hotel Mario'' instruction book. Page 16.</ref>) reside in [[Bowser's Seizures Palace Hotel]]. They are blue and trundle around in an odd manner. When stomped, they somewhat shrivel up and temporarily cease movement. When roughly 3/4 of the stage's [[Time Limit|time]] runs out, they simultaneously break down and become immobile piles of junk. This can be an obstacle if one is in front of a door, requiring at least six jumps to be pushed aside. They can be defeated with a [[fireball]].
