The '''Koopa Bros.''' are a quartet of costumed ninja [[Koopa Troopa]]s consisting of '''Green Ninjakoopa''', '''Yellow Ninjakoopa''', '''Black Ninjakoopa''' and the leader, '''Red Ninjakoopa'''. A parody of the {{wp|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}}, the team appears in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the bosses of the [[Paper Mario#Chapter 1: Storming Koopa Bros. Fortress|first chapter]]. They live in [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] and are part of [[Bowser's Minions]].


The '''Koopa Bros.''' are a quartet of costumed ninja [[Koopa Troopa]]s consisting of '''Green Ninjakoopa''', '''Yellow Ninjakoopa''', '''Black Ninjakoopa''' and the leader, '''Red Ninjakoopa'''. A spoof of the [[wikipedia:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]], the team appeared in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the bosses of the first chapter. They live in [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] and are part of [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopa Troop]].
While the Koopa Bros. are all egotistical and obsessed with being cool, they have a great deal of respect for both Bowser and each other and are entrusted by him to guard [[Eldstar]]. The theme that plays during the fight with the Koopa Bros. is a rearrangement of the [[Hammer Bro]]s. theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.
 
While the Koopa Bros. are all egotistical and obsessed with being cool, they have a great deal of respect for both Bowser and each other. They were entrusted by the Koopa King to guard [[Eldstar]], and Mario defeated them first in ''Paper Mario''. The theme that played during the fight with the Koopa Bros. is a remix of the [[Hammer Bro]]s. theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

It is mentioned by several characters throughout ''[[Paper Mario]]'' that the Koopa Bros. were originally inhabitants of [[Koopa Village]], apparently living in it around the same time as [[Kent C. Koopa]]. It is hinted by [[Russ T.]] that Kent C. Koopa trained the Koopa Bros. in combat. Eventually, the Koopa Bros. grew tired of Koopa Village, finding its serene environment and lack of excitement boring. They eventually left and traveled to [[Koopa Bros. Fortress|a fortress that would become their own]], whose [[Bob-omb]]s they commandeered.

Fortress|a fortress that would become their own]], whose [[Bob-omb]]s they commandeered.


According to the Bob-ombs that were jailed in the fortress, the Koopa Bros. became conceited and corrupted due to the influence of Bowser and [[Kammy Koopa]], who had taken a liking to them. The resident Bob-ombs were enslaved and worked non-stop. Those that rebelled were jailed, and the indigo Bob-ombs that Mario ends up fighting within the fortress were all supplied by Bowser to take their place. When Bowser stole the wish-granting [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] and imprisoned the [[Star Spirits]], the Koopa King entrusted the elder Star Spirit, [[Eldstar]], to the Koopa Bros.

When Black Ninjakoopa finds that Mario and his allies have reached Koopa Bros. Fortress, he alerts his brothers and they proceed to set about making various traps and obstacles in their home, all of which Mario passes. Yellow Ninjakoopa in particular lays a trap involving a [[? Block]] which activates a trap door below it when struck, which places Mario in the same jail that the rebel Bob-ombs reside. In a last-ditch effort to stop Mario, Red Ninjakoopa has his brothers set up three [[Bill Blaster]]s on top of the fortress, which Mario also manages to overcome. Reaching the Koopa Bros. at last, Mario, before he can fight the Bros. themselves, has to battle their creation, a poorly constructed [[Bowser???|facsimile of Bowser]]. When their fake Bowser is destroyed, the Koopa Bros. attack Mario using a whirling tower attack. The Koopa Bros. battle optimizes the abilities of Bombette and Kooper; Bombette's [[Bomb (Paper Mario series)|Bomb]] attack can knock over the Koopa Bros. stack instantly, while Kooper's [[Power Shell]] can hit all of them at once.

Mario is able to defeat the Koopa Bros., sending them into the prison. It is revealed that the rebel Bob-ombs, before leaving the fortress, patched the hole through which they escaped with two planks of wood and nailed them in place. This temporarily prevents the Koopa Bros. from escaping.
Mario is able to defeat the Koopa Bros., sending them falling into their own prison cell. It is revealed that the rebel Bob-ombs, before leaving the fortress, patched the hole through which they escaped with two planks of wood and nailed them in place. This temporarily prevents the Koopa Bros. from escaping.


After the Koopa Bros. are defeated, they are found bumbling around in the prison of their fortress for a short while. If Mario visits the fortress later, they are gone, indicating that they eventually managed to escape, though the wooden barricade remains. There is also a piece of [[List of Toad Town News in Paper Mario|Toad Town News]] documenting their defeat.

In Chapter 8, the Koopa Bros. appear at Bowser's Castle under the employ of the castle's third [[Guard Door]]. The Koopa Bros., who claim to have become stronger (even renaming themselves "the '''Super Ultra Mighty Koopa Bros. the Great'''"), prepare to fight Mario, but are all easily knocked away by a determined and improved [[Jr. Troopa]]. When Mario beats Jr. Troopa, the Guard Door confusedly reasons that since Jr. Troopa defeated the Koopa Bros., and Mario defeated Jr. Troopa, Mario has technically completed the task assigned to him and allows him to pass through.

During the ending parade of ''Paper Mario'', the Koopa Bros. appear riding a float built from the remains of their Bowser facsimile. As the Koopa Bros. strike a pose, several Bob-ombs appear and explode near them, covering them in soot.

When Mario returns to [[Mario Bros.' House|his house]] after Chapter 1, he can find a threatening letter from the Koopa Bros. on his desk, in which they swear revenge for their defeat, foreshadowing his later encounter with the quartet in [[Bowser's Castle]].

In volume 1 of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'', a Japan-exclusive manga, nine years prior to the release of ''Paper Mario'', a similar group called the "Mutant Ninja Sentai Nokonoko (Koopa Troopa) Men" appear to attack Mario, [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]] in a platform-filled area, taking on various disguises and using shell-like shurikens in combat. The Koopa Bros.' true appearance in the manga is volume 25, where, like their game counterparts, are first encountered by Mario, Goombario and Kooper disguised as Toads.

When Mario gets deeper into the Koopa Bros. Fortress, Yellow Ninjakoopa sets a trap for him; when Mario hits a rigged [[Question Block|? Block]], a trapdoor opens beneath him and sends him falling into the Koopa Bros.' dungeon; as Mario falls, Yellow Ninjakoopa taunts and jeers at him.

However, Yellow Ninjakoopa's plan of trapping Mario in the dungeon backfires, as Mario meets [[Bombette]] in the dungeon and also manages to break several other Bob-ombs out of it. He is apparently the third-in-command of the Koopa Bros.
