Koopa Troopa

Koopa Troopas (commonly shortened to Koopas or sometimes Troopas and occasionally named Koopa Troopers) are anthropomorphic, turtle-like creatures with removable shells that come in many different colors, with red and green Koopa Troopas being the most common; green Koopa Troopas usually walk back and forth without any concerns for pits or other obstacles, and red Koopa Troopas usually walk back and forth without falling off of their platforms. They are common enemies in the Mario franchise, usually displayed as foot soldiers of the Koopa Troop, under the direct leadership of Bowser. Since Super Mario 64, however, not all Koopa Troopas work for Bowser (or any other villain), some of whom even act as allies to Mario during his adventures and have appeared as playable characters in various spin-off games starting with Super Mario Kart. They are notable for the many uses of their shells in the Mario franchise.
Koopa Troopas, along with Goombas, are Mario's most common enemies.

== Trivia ==
* The Koopa Troopa was chosen as one of Ikran's Favorite Animals in Video Games; she always feels sorry for them as they'd always been treated cruelly by being stomped on and losing their shells, when they're just simpletons minding their own business. And how rare it is when they're either allies or fun to play as.
