The Koopa Troopa's Japanese name,「ノコノコ」(''Nokonoko''), is a Japanese term meaning "to walk unconcernedly", describing the green-shelled Koopa Troopas' behavior. The English name comes from [[Bowser]]'s Japanese name,「クッパ」(''Kuppa''), which is itself derived from the Korean dish of the same name,<ref>http://themushroomkingdom.net/mariosan.shtml</ref> while "Troopa" is a corruption of "trooper", seemingly to keep the reference to forward marching from the Japanese name intact. | The Koopa Troopa's Japanese name,「ノコノコ」(''Nokonoko''), is a Japanese term meaning "to walk unconcernedly", describing the green-shelled Koopa Troopas' behavior.

It is worth noting that the Koopa Troopas' ability to remove their shells is not true to any type of turtle, although popular culture often overlooks this fact. | |||
