The [[Roving Racers]] are a quartet of [[Koopa Troopas]] appear in the game ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They wear caps that correspond to their shell colour and race Mario across the different kingdoms. Mario can collect a [[Power Moon]] for coming 1st place in a race and can rematch them post-game for another Power Moon, with a gold Koopa replacing the purple Koopa. This new racer tends to take shortcuts and can perform moves that mario can, such as Cap Throw/[[Capture]] and can ride [[Jaxi|Jaxis]].

The '''Roving Racers''' are a quintet of multicolored [[Koopa Troopa]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They wear backwards caps that correspond to their shell color and race Mario across the different kingdoms in a minigame called [[Koopa Freerunning]].
 
==History==
===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
During the Koopa Freerunning minigame, each Roving Racer takes a different path to the finish; the red Koopa Troopa is always the first of the four to finish, followed by the blue Koopa Troopa, then the green Koopa Troopa, and finally the purple Koopa Troopa. In each kingdom's race, Mario must come in first place to obtain a [[Power Moon]]; after doing so and hitting the kingdom's [[Moon Rock]], he can rematch them and gain another Power Moon if he comes in first place again, with a [[gold Koopa]] that tends to take shortcuts and always finishes before the other Roving Racers replacing the purple Koopa. Mario can rematch the Roving Racers indefinitely after collecting both Power Moons, earning fifty to one hundred [[coin]]s for coming in first place depending on the kingdom. The Roving Racers can perform moves that Mario can, such as the [[Cap Throw]]; they can also [[capture]] enemies and ride [[Jaxi]]s, but appear to be rapidly spinning inside their shells with yellow sparks surrounding them when doing so. They notably have longer arms and legs than other Koopa Troopas in order to match Mario's body proportions.
 
The Roving Racers race Mario in a similar vein to [[Cosmic Mario]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and their role is reminiscent of [[Koopa the Quick]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. In order to participate in the race, Mario must find and talk to the green Roving Racer, who can be found in every kingdom after the completion of the story (except for the [[Cloud Kingdom]], the [[Ruined Kingdom]], the [[Dark Side]], and the [[Darker Side]]). The Koopa Freerunning leaderboard is always next to him. If Mario approaches the green Roving Racer while capturing an enemy, he will complain about how he does not have time to deal with it.
 
===''Mario Kart Tour''===
All five Roving Racers appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as playable drivers. Named '''Red Koopa (Freerunning)''', '''Blue Koopa (Freerunning)''', '''Purple Koopa (Freerunning)''', '''Koopa (Freerunning)''', and '''Gold Koopa (Freerunning)''', they were introduced in the [[London Tour]], [[Summer Tour (2021)|2021 Summer Tour]] (as a reward for placing high in the ranked cups), [[Singapore Tour]] (as a reward for placing high in the ranked cups), [[Mario Tour (2023)|2023 Mario Tour]] (as a reward for placing high in the first ranked cup), and [[New Year's Tour (2020)|2020 New Year's Tour]] respectively (the first four as Super drivers and the last as a High-End driver). Their respective [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skills]] are the [[Fire Flower]], [[Ice Flower]], [[Double Bob-ombs]], [[Triple Green Shells]], and [[Coin Box]]. While the Super-class Koopas use [[Pipe Frame]]s and [[Super Glider]]s matching their respective colors, the Gold Koopa simply uses a black Pipe Frame and Super Glider.
 
Koopa (Freerunning) was added after his red, blue, purple, and gold counterparts, making him the first driver to be introduced after his variants.

“We're the Roving Racers! We rove the globe—racing in every kingdom that we can get to!”
Green Roving Racer, Super Mario Odyssey

The Roving Racers are a quintet of multicolored Koopa Troopas that appear in Super Mario Odyssey. They wear backwards caps that correspond to their shell color and race Mario across the different kingdoms in a minigame called Koopa Freerunning.

History[edit]

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

During the Koopa Freerunning minigame, each Roving Racer takes a different path to the finish; the red Koopa Troopa is always the first of the four to finish, followed by the blue Koopa Troopa, then the green Koopa Troopa, and finally the purple Koopa Troopa. In each kingdom's race, Mario must come in first place to obtain a Power Moon; after doing so and hitting the kingdom's Moon Rock, he can rematch them and gain another Power Moon if he comes in first place again, with a gold Koopa that tends to take shortcuts and always finishes before the other Roving Racers replacing the purple Koopa. Mario can rematch the Roving Racers indefinitely after collecting both Power Moons, earning fifty to one hundred coins for coming in first place depending on the kingdom. The Roving Racers can perform moves that Mario can, such as the Cap Throw; they can also capture enemies and ride Jaxis, but appear to be rapidly spinning inside their shells with yellow sparks surrounding them when doing so. They notably have longer arms and legs than other Koopa Troopas in order to match Mario's body proportions.

The Roving Racers race Mario in a similar vein to Cosmic Mario from Super Mario Galaxy, and their role is reminiscent of Koopa the Quick from Super Mario 64. In order to participate in the race, Mario must find and talk to the green Roving Racer, who can be found in every kingdom after the completion of the story (except for the Cloud Kingdom, the Ruined Kingdom, the Dark Side, and the Darker Side). The Koopa Freerunning leaderboard is always next to him. If Mario approaches the green Roving Racer while capturing an enemy, he will complain about how he does not have time to deal with it.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

All five Roving Racers appear in Mario Kart Tour as playable drivers. Named Red Koopa (Freerunning), Blue Koopa (Freerunning), Purple Koopa (Freerunning), Koopa (Freerunning), and Gold Koopa (Freerunning), they were introduced in the London Tour, 2021 Summer Tour (as a reward for placing high in the ranked cups), Singapore Tour (as a reward for placing high in the ranked cups), 2023 Mario Tour (as a reward for placing high in the first ranked cup), and 2020 New Year's Tour respectively (the first four as Super drivers and the last as a High-End driver). Their respective special skills are the Fire Flower, Ice Flower, Double Bob-ombs, Triple Green Shells, and Coin Box. While the Super-class Koopas use Pipe Frames and Super Gliders matching their respective colors, the Gold Koopa simply uses a black Pipe Frame and Super Glider.

Koopa (Freerunning) was added after his red, blue, purple, and gold counterparts, making him the first driver to be introduced after his variants.
