 An enemy that first appeared in ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', the [[Shellcreeper]], was the "ancestor" of the Koopa Troopa.<ref>''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' Shellcreeper Japanese trophy description; English versions do not specify Koopa Troopa, but Japanese versions do.</ref> When creating ''Super Mario Bros.'', a few changes were made to the enemies, including the ability to jump on them in order to damage them.
-The English name comes from the [[Bowser]]'s Japanese name「クッパ」(''Kuppa''), which is based on the Korean dish of the same name,<ref>http://themushroomkingdom.net/mariosan.shtml</ref> and "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'', refers to walking forwards slowly, describing their 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 the word "trooper," seemingly to keep the reference to forward marching from the Japanese name intact.
 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.
