[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] have a harder time avoiding these Koopas because of their increased size. Despite this, if the plumbers [[stomp]] on a Giant Koopa, it hides inside its [[Giant Green Shell|green]] or [[Giant Red Shell|red]] shell, just like an average-sized Koopa Troopa does when it feels threatened. Once inside, the plumbers can kick their shells away.

Big Koopa Troopas come in green and red varieties in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. In the Course Maker, after the player drags a [[Super Mushroom]] onto a standard [[Koopa Troopa]], the enemy grows in size. Just as in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', its shell cannot be carried, and this applies even when playing in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style, whereas in the said game, the player could transport the shells of Big Koopa Troopas. Big Koopa Troopas now have the ability to break [[Hard Block]]s.
