Koopa Troopa

Koopa Troopa, also known as Nokonoko, is a character from the Mario series.
== Charactah Account ==
Ordinary Koopas who are Bowser's rank and file alongside the goombas. Whilst their shells are extremely tough enabling them to survive Mario's stomps, Koopa Troopas are otherwise weak soldiers.
As a member of Bowser's army, they try to attack Mario so that one touch can eliminate his power-ups. However, the Koopa troopas are dim-witted and cowardly, quick to hide in their shells or run away and the green shelled variation wander aimlessly. A simple step on them will cause them to hide in their shells. Other times they'll be flipped on their backs or kicked out of their shells.
The red-shelled variation is slightly smarter in that it will never leave the platform it originates from, avoiding to fall down cliffs and kill themselves.

== Trivia ==
* Koopa Troopas made a cameo appearance in the NES game Zoda's Revenge: Startropics II. In the game a man delivers a pizza to the protagonist, Mike Jones while riding a Koopa Troopa.
* Although Koopa Troopas did not appear in the Super Mario Bros. (film), the Goombas in the film were originally going to be called Koopa's Troopas, as shown in official artwork.
* Golden Koopa Troopas didn't appear until New Super Mario Bros. 2 in 2012, but a golden Koopa shell appeared prior in Super Mario Galaxy (2007).
* As shown in Super Mario World, Koopa Troopas can not only survive without their shells, but actually wear clothing underneath them.
* Koopas are really well-known because of their shells, since the shell has appeared as items in Mario Kart.
* There are some rumors indicating that Koopas are killed of two hits. Actually it only takes one, as seen in World & 64.
* Its Japanese name, Nokonoko, is an onomatopoeia for a slow-moving object.
