Koopamart: Difference between revisions

[[Image:Koopamart.jpg|thumb|[[Mario]] heads off to the '''Koopamart'''.]]

The '''Koopamart''' is a store featured in the Mario comic stories published in the [[Nintendo Comics System]]. As its name suggests, it is a convenience store supposedly owned by [[Bowser]] (the building is even modeled to resemble the Koopa King), and [[Koopa Troopa]]s work there as cashiers. Among the items sold there are [[Shy Guy]] Masks, G.I. [[Bullet Bill]] Heat-Seeker toy guns, and C. Mentum's Famous Sticky Juice. In spite of the fact that the store is owned by the Koopas, the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]] are quite content to shop here. [[Toad]] is a regular customer himself, as he carries a Koopamart Kredit Kard.

The Koopamart is first mentioned by [[Toad]] in "[[Duh Stoopid Bomb!]]" Right when ditching his Shy Guy disguise to steal [[Stupid Bomb|the bomb of the story's title]], Toad points out to Bowser that he bought "this crummy robe" at the Koopamart yesterday.

The Koopamart is later seen in "Elect Mario for Man of the Year". Here, Toad lends his Koopamart Kredit Kard to Mario so he can pick up ingredients for his famous homemade [[pasta]] sauce. While there, Mario passes out pin buttons to the other customers and picks up a Shy Guy mask for a child named Elliot, who is having difficulty reaching it. Elliot's mom then tosses away the mask, which lands in Mario's shopping cart and sets the story's plot in motion.

Probably by coincidence, the Koopamart was also mentioned in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' episode "[[Gopher Bash]]". Right when he's getting away with the stolen crops, [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]] taunts the Mario Bros., telling them "The only way you guys are gonna eat is by shopping at the Koopamart!"
