History
Super Mario series
Super Mario Bros. 3
Big Koopas appear in Super Mario Bros. 3 and reside only on Giant Land (along with other gigantic creatures like Grand Goombas and Piranhaci Gigantici). Mario and Luigi have a harder time avoiding these Koopas because of their increased size. Despite this, if the plumbers stomp on a Big Koopa, it will hide inside its Giant Green or Red Shell, just like an average-sized Koopa does when it feels threatened. Once inside, the plumbers can kick their shells away. Big Koopa Troopas were members of Bowser's army during his attack on the eight major lands of the Mushroom World. Their sub-species, Colossal Koopa Paratroopas, appear alongside them as well.
Super Mario 64
In Super Mario 64, a single Big Koopa Troopa known as Koopa the Quick appears in the game as a friendly racing rival to Mario. He hails from Tiny-Huge Island (an island filled with both miniature and gigantic enemies) but he is the only Big Koopa Troopa seen in the game.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
They reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the Supermassive Galaxy. Only three are found patrolling a solitary planetoid where they will attempt to flatten Mario if he gets in their way. They can only be defeated with a Spin Drill by drilling into their belly from the opposite side of the planet. If Mario performs a Long Jump on a Big Koopa Troopa so that he catches up with the it each time, he can get 1UPs for every time he stomps onto it, allowing maximum 1UPs to be gained.
New Super Mario Bros. U
Big Koopa Troopas appear in New Super Mario Bros. U, and are common enemies in Jungle of the Giants. The player is no longer able to carry their shells in this game. Additionally, their shells are able to break through normal-sized Brick Blocks without bouncing off. Unlike previous games, the Big Koopa Troopa is bipedal and wearing shoes.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, a regular Koopa Troopa named Hookbill was transformed by Kamek into a Big Koopa Troopa in order to stop Yoshi from reaching World 5. It acted as the boss of World 4.
Paper Mario
In Paper Mario, a greedy and nearsighted Big Koopa Troopa named Kent C. Koopa appears as an optional boss in the game. He has taught the Koopa Bros. how to fight, and he is known as a bully and refuses to let Mario pass unless Mario pays 100 coins. If Mario disobeys him, Mario and his partners must fight Kent C. Koopa to return to Koopa Village.
