Kroop's hearing is not what it used to be. For example, the old Koopa calls [[Mario]] by the name "Murphy" throughout the plumber's adventure, or calls Mario unselfish if Mario tries to accept a reward. Kroop also had a [[Listen to me!|trouble]] in the game. He wanted someone to talk to him. After Mario listened to his long speech, Kroop rewarded the plumber with a [[Turtley Leaf]].

==Trivia==
*Kroop's name is the word ''croup'' misspelled to appear similar to the word ''Koopa''. {{wp|Croup}} is a disease that ordinarily affects children no older than three years old (which is quite odd, considering Kroop's implied age). The fact that croup involves the breakdown of the lungs (a scenario commonly associated with rather old people) is probably the reason Kroop is named after it. It could also be sarcasm directed at Kroop's old age.{{ref needed}}
*Oddly Kroop has unused eyes hidden behind his eyebrows. Even more odd is that despite having eyes, he has no pupils.
