The Koopa Bros. are a group of bosses who appear in Paper Mario. They are Koopas who wear ninja garb and hold onto the Star Spirit Eldstar on Bowser's behalf.

In Paper Mario[]

It is said that the Koopa Bros. once lived in Koopa Village, a town of reformed Koopas. They later moved to a castle the Bob-ombs lived in and enslaved them. Accoriding to a Bob-omb, the Koopa Bros. used to be nice until they came into contact with Kammy Koopa theorizing that they have been corrupted by the thrill for adventure. Eventually, Mario, with the help of Goombario, Kooper, and Bombette, saved the Bob-ombs and defeated the Koopa Bros. After their defeat, they send a letter to Mario, vowing their revenge.

Before the final battle with Jr. Troopa in Chapter 8, the Koopa Bros. appear and tell Mario that they were nothing than before.

Green Ninjakoopa[]

The fourth member of the Koopa Bros. Green Ninjakoopa is most likely the youngest of the group and is usually seen following the other's orders.

Weapons and Attacks[]

The Koopa Bros. possess a small mechanical Bowser titled Bowser??? when attacking, in an attempt to fool Mario into believing the mechanical Bowser is the real one. Their main attack, after the makeshift Bowser is destroyed, is to stack themselves on top of each other in a tower formation, and spin themselves at Mario.

Trivia[]

  • The Koopa Bros. reference the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as both consist of four turtles, dressed in ninja attire, each distinguished by their respective color of clothing. This is not the first time a Mario role-playing game features a parody of a superhero group, as the Axem Rangers of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars did so with the Power Rangers.
  • The Koopa Bros. can be easily taken down in only two turns not counting the "Bowser???" fight. After knocking them off their shells and onto their backs, Mario should use a Fire Flower to burn all of them for 3 points of damage and use Kooper's Power Shell to attack all of them for 2 points of damage each thus quickly defeating all of them.
  • Red Ninjakoopa being the leader and oldest and Green Ninjakoopa being the youngest could be a possible a reference to Mario and Luigi.
