They are cross-eyed and have oblong shells which extend up from their backs, behind their heads. They block certain paths in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] and recite the line, "''Derr... No matter what you hit me with, you can't knock me down. ...I think.''" They cannot be [[stomp]]ed; however, [[Mario]]'s [[Firebrand]] [[Fire Tickle|Bros. Dash]] technique can knock them down, forcing them to move aside. One also appears in a house in [[Beanbean Castle Town]].

They are cross-eyed and have oblong shells which extend up from their backs, behind their heads. Their name is a combination of the words "[[anchor]]" and "[[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]".


In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', they have been replaced with ordinary [[Big Koopa Troopa]]s.
Ankoopas block certain paths in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], reciting the line, "''Derr... No matter what you hit me with, you can't knock me down. I think...''" when spoken to. One also appears in a house in [[Beanbean Castle Town]].
 
The road-blocking Ankoopas can only be moved with [[Mario]]'s [[Dash (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Dash]] technique, which knocks them down briefly; they will move aside and express surprise at the Bros.' ability, and then allow the pair to progress.
 
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', they have been replaced with [[Big Koopa Troopa]]s.
