Snooza Koopas,[1] also known as Tamanokos,[2][3][1] are Koopa Troopas encountered by Mario that appear only in Super Mario Sunshine. Snooza Koopas, unlike their relatives, have flippers instead of hands or feet and walk on all fours, similar to actual sea turtles. They are also quite large and have shells with a Yoshi egg-like pattern on them. True to their name, Snooza Koopas are mostly found asleep; Mario can rouse them with a blast from FLUDD. When awake, they attempt to jump on Mario. If they miss and land in the sand, they become vulnerable to a Ground Pound.
Mario's only encounter with Snooza Koopas is in the fourth episode of Pinna Park, where he must save several Sunflower Kids who are wilting due to a large gang of Snooza Koopas nibbling on their roots. After Mario finishes this episode, Yoshis are available to use. Yoshis were not available previously, because they fled Isle Delfino when Snooza Koopas invaded their habitat, partly because Snooza Koopa's shells resemble Yoshi eggs. In fact, a Toad tells Mario that Yoshis used to live on the island. After Mario defeats the Snooza Koopas, the Great Sunflower tells him that the Yoshis might now return to the island. Despite this, a Noki in the sixth episode still tells Mario that the Yoshis are gone. Snooza Koopas are similar to Electro-Koopas.
In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, the name "Snooza" appears on the Shifting Sands leaderboard when the player plays a Star Tournament.
