[[File:CartoonMechakoopa.jpg|thumb|A Mechkoopa in the ''Super Mario World'' animated series.]]
Mecha-Koopas, renamed '''Mechkoopas''', and occasionally called by the generic name '''Robot''', appeared in several episodes throughout the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' animated series]].
Their first appearance was in the episode "[[Send in the Clown]]", where a Mechkoopa riding a bicycle acted as the tight-rope walker in [[Bowser]]'s circus, the "Koopaling Bros. Circus". After the "Koopaling Bros. Circus" was revealed to be an elaborate trap, this Mechkoopa, along with several [[Chargin' Chuck]]s, began to chase Mario through [[Bowser's Keep|Neon Castle]]. This Mechkoopa was eventually defeated by Mario, who had gained the [[Cape Mario|cape ability]].
Later in "Send in the Clown", Bowser attempted to defeat Mario by throwing several Mechkoopas at him from the [[Koopa Clown Car]]. Mario, after knocking a Mechkoopa unconscious, managed to defeat Bowser by hurling the Mechkoopa at his Koopa Clown Car, causing it to malfunction and crash in a very similar way as ''Super Mario World''.
Mechkoopas next made a small appearance in the "[[The Night Before Cave Christmas]]", where several of them attempted to attack Mario and Yoshi, who had broken into Neon Castle. Mario and Yoshi managed to escape these Mechkoopas by using a [[Cape Feather|Feather]] to transform into Cape Mario and fly away.
The last appearance of Mechkoopas in the ''Super Mario World TV series'' was in the show's final episode, "[[Mama Luigi]]". Here, Bowser sent a brigade of Mechkoopas after Mario and Luigi as the two explored Bowser's throne room looking for Yoshi. These Mechkoopas, after chasing Mario and Luigi, were defeated when Yoshi simply devoured them.
====''Nintendo Adventure Books''====
In ''[[Flown the Koopa]]'', if Mario and Luigi run into Bowser in the Valley of the Koopas, he will sic four Mecha-Koopas he had hidden in the trash can he was using as a chair on the two. In one possible scenario, Luigi will smash one of the Mecha-Koopas with his wrench, and make the others destroy themselves (by pressing the sports channel button) after taking their remote from Bowser. In the second scenario, the Mecha-Koopas will knock the Mario Bros. out with their telescoping robotic arms, then turn on Bowser, knocking him out as well. The Mecha-Koopas then wander off, intent on enacting their own world domination schemes.
In ''[[Unjust Desserts]]'', it's mentioned by Luigi that some Mecha-Koopas were among the creatures [[Magikoopa]] shrank and tricked Yoshi into eating, though none are encountered in the actual story.

Mecha-Koopas appeared in Bowser's Castle in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''. In this game, they could be stunned with the [[Super Scope]]'s bullets, but would awaken momentarily unless [[Yoshi]] walked into them.

In the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, the [[Koopalings]], after having captured Mario by chance, used two Mecha-Koopas to send a message to Luigi, [[Toad]] and Yoshi. Either they exchange Princess Toadstool for Mario, or Mario will be killed, after saying this, the Mecha-Koopas symbolically burnt a Mario Doll with the flamethrowers in their mouths. Luigi then said, "That's Blackmail!". Luigi, with help from [[Friendly Floyd]], managed to trick the two Mecha-Koopas by making them take him to the Koopalings instead of Princess Toadstool.
