'''Koopa Village''' is a small village in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' that is home to [[Koopa Troopa|Koopas]] and some [[Bob-omb]]s, the latter of which escaped the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]]. It is near a hill on [[Pleasant Path]]. As is hinted by [[Merlon]] from the prologue, [[Mario]] and [[Goombario]] is required to go here to help [[Kooper]] for him to join the party because he has to use him to activate a switch in [[Pleasant Path]]. When they arrive, however, they find that [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] are attacking the town, and they can optionally help out some of the Koopas who had [[Beach Koopa|lost their shells]] to the Fuzzy menaces. The pair also meet [[Kooper]], a Koopa with a blue shell who eventually became Mario's second party member. A Fuzzy stole [[Kooper's Shell|his shell]] and he asks Mario to get it back. Once Mario retrieves it, Kooper joins the party. After he helps Kooper defeat the [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]], they flee, and several [[Bob-omb]]s reside in. After Kooper joins, a [[Star Piece (Paper Mario)|Star Piece]] is accessible on a brick in the eastern part of Koopa Village. There's also a Star Piece hidden under a panel to the left of a group of Bob-omb in the western area. [[Koopa Koot]], the elder of the village, is an old, senile Koopa who asks people for favors often, which has given him a bad reputation. However, he gives out rewards for completing his favors.
'''Koopa Village''' is a small village consisting of houses and grassland in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Located near a hill on [[Pleasant Path]], it is home to a number of friendly [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]s and [[Bob-omb]] refugees. Koopa Village is the place [[Mario]] has to visit in Chapter 1 in order to have [[Kooper]] join his party. It is also where several sidequests take place.

==History==
[[File:Kooperwithoutshell.PNG|thumb|left|[[Mario]] returns [[Kooper]]'s shell to him.]]
As is hinted by [[Merlon]] from the prologue, [[Mario]] and [[Goombario]] is required to go here in Chapter 1 to help [[Kooper]] for him to join the party because he has to use him to activate a switch in [[Pleasant Path]]. When they arrive, however, they find that [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] are attacking the town, and they can optionally help out some of the Koopas who had [[Beach Koopa|lost their shells]] to the Fuzzy menaces. The pair also meet [[Kooper]], a Koopa with a blue shell who eventually became Mario's second party member. A Fuzzy stole [[Kooper's Shell|his shell]] and he asks Mario to get it back. Once Mario retrieves it, Kooper joins the party. After he helps Kooper defeat the remaining [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]], the Fuzzies flee and the village returns to peace.
 
After Mario and his partners defeat the [[Koopa Bros.]] at the end of Chapter 1, more Bob-omb refugees come to the village to reside. Later in the game, the Koopa Troopas in the village write Mario a [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Koopa Troopas|letter]], thanking him for taking care of the Fuzzy problem and apologizing for not being able to reward him for it.
 
Mario needs to go to the village to take or finish several sidequests, such as [[Koopa Koot]]'s favors, the [[Radio Contest Toad|radio contest]], and [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Normal Letters|letter delivery]]. After Chapter 5, [[Kolorado]] returns to the village once Mario and his partners defeat [[Kent C. Koopa]] (optional).
 
At the end of the game, [[Parakarry]] visits the village to tell [[Bombette]], who is seen to have resided here after her adventure with Mario, that she is invited to the party at [[Peach's Castle]]. After that, [[Kolorado's Wife]] comes and asks Parakarry to find his husband, who is out again.

In the main part of Koopa Village, there are six houses in the northern side. All houses found in Koopa Village are [[Koopa Shell|shell]]-shaped and most of them feature island-based décor. From west to east, they are: a [[Toad House]] run by [[Mort T.]], [[Koopa's Shop]], a house with a relaxed Koopa, [[Kolorado]]'s house, [[Kooper]]'s house, and [[Koopa Koot]]'s house.

Koopa Village is a village mainly consisting of grassland, with a row of six houses in the northern side, all of which look like [[Koopa Shell|Koopa shells]] and most of them feature island-based décor. From west to east, they are: a [[Toad House]] run by [[Mort T.]], [[Koopa's Shop]], a house that resembles a blue shell, [[Kolorado]]'s house, [[Kooper]]'s house, and [[Koopa Koot]]'s house.


The house that looks like a blue shell is home to a relaxed Koopa who lies in his hammock all day listening to the radio. On that radio are three stations, one called "Golden Oldies Station" which plays a direct cover of the credits theme from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', another called "Island Sounds Station" playing an original song, one other playing [[Chanterelle]]'s song (after she is given a song from [[lyrics]] and a [[melody]]), and an Information Station that hosts trading events. In these events, Mario can participate by bringing certain items to [[Radio Contest Toad|a pink Toad]] in certain areas across the Mushroom Kingdom, for which he will be rewarded (often with items more valuable than the ones traded).

There is a road in front of the houses. To the west of the houses is the entrance/exit to [[Pleasant Path]]. Near Koopa Koot's house is a [[Warp Pipe]] that can be unlocked from [[Toad Town Tunnels]].
Bushes can be found in the southern part of the village. There is also a tree which the Bob-ombs relax in the shadow. [[Koopa Leaf|Koopa Leaves]] can be found in some of the bushes. To the back of [[Kooper]]'s house is a path to a forest, which Mario visits on his quest to retrieve Kooper's shell.


==Enemies found==
Koopa Village links to [[Toad Town]] via [[Pleasant Path]]. It can also be linked to from [[Toad Town Tunnels]] once Mario unlocks the pipe, which is faster.
