*When Professor Koopa-arity grabs Tryclyde, Mouser, and Koopa Troopa after assuming that they "spilled the beans" to Herlock Solmes, Koopa Troopa's eyeballs are altered significantly twice, the first making them appear much like normal human eyes, and the second with just being plain yellow, blending in with his face.
*When Professor Koopa-arity grabs [[Koopa Troop]] when he assumes that they revealed their plan to steal the [[Retro Router]] to [[Herlock Solmes]], Koopa Troopa's eyes shift twice, the first making them appear much like normal human eyes, and the second being only yellow, blending in with his face.
