A Koopa Troopa's shell consists of a carapace with colored, hexagon-shaped scutes in a pattern on the top, with smaller, triangular ones at the edges, with dark flesh underneath that appear as "grooves"; a beige colored plaston with several "ribs" on its surface and six holes on it where the Koopa Troopa's head, arms, legs, and tail emerge from; all joined by a white bridge that follows along the perimeter of the shell and rises at the spots where the Koopa Troopa's head and tail are. The most common color for a Koopa Troopa's shell is green, with red being the second. However, there have also been less common colors such as blue, yellow, light-blue, light-green, dark-green, orange, purple, black, and, on rare occasions, [[Gold Koopa Troopa|gold]]. Despite having large heads, Koopa Troopas can pull them into their shells with little effort. In ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', a Koopa Troopa can withdraw into its shell and pop back out in mid-air. [[Beach Koopa|Underneath their shells]], they wear white undershirts (in ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake ''Super Mario 64 DS'', they also wear pink or blue shorts, respectively) and have round bodies. | A Koopa Troopa's shell consists of a carapace with colored, hexagon-shaped scutes in a pattern on the top, with smaller, triangular ones at the edges, with dark flesh underneath that appear as "grooves"; a beige colored plaston with several "ribs" on its surface and six holes on it where the Koopa Troopa's head, arms, legs, and tail emerge from; all joined by a white bridge that follows along the perimeter of the shell and rises at the spots where the Koopa Troopa's head and tail are.

From ''Super Mario 64'' onwards, Koopa Troopas have been given voices created electronically, starting with whooping sounds (which were also shared with Goombas, [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]]s and the [[King Bob-omb|Big Bob-omb]], with varying speeds, until the sounds were exclusive to Koopa Troopas in later games), then other noises such as wheezing, clucking, and gurgling. In ''Mario Kart 8'', they were also given high-pitched whistling sounds whenever performing an antigravity trick or placing first. | From ''Super Mario 64'' onwards, Koopa Troopas have been given voices created electronically, starting with whooping sounds (which were also shared with Goombas, [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]]s and the [[King Bob-omb|Big Bob-omb]], with varying speeds, until the sounds were exclusive to Koopa Troopas in later games), then other noises such as wheezing, clucking, and gurgling.

One of Koopa Troopa's sound effects is derived from the stock sound HUMAN, YELL - YELL: FEMALE, Voice Spectral Vol. 1 - Track 02.<ref>TheRealBurnerAccount. (Sep 26, 2019).

Green Koopa Troopas are specifically given an association with water in games such as ''Mario Power Tennis'' and ''Puzzles and Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition'', since their Offensive and Defensive Power Shots in the former game involve water, and in the latter game their attribute is Water. In ''Puzzles and Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition'', Red Koopa Troopas have fire as their attribute, while Yellow Koopa Troopas have light. | Green Koopa Troopas are specifically given an association with water in games such as ''Mario Power Tennis'' and ''Puzzles and Dragons: Super Mario Bros.
