Mask Koopas are a reskin of Koopa Troopas featured in Super Mario World and its Game Boy Advance remake Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. All Koopa Troopas become Mask Koopas during Fall, which occurs after Mario and Luigi have reached all 96 exits.

Mask Koopas behave the same as regular Koopa Troopas, and their only difference is their appearance. Instead of wearing a shell, Mask Koopas wear a mask in the likeness of Mario, but is more orange to match the Koopa Troopas' skin tone, and Mask Koopas wear a cap that is either green, red, blue, or yellow in color. During Fall, Red and Green Koopa Troopas are replaced by Blue and Yellow Mask Koopas respectively.

In Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, there is a cutscene revealing how the Koopas became Mask Koopas. In it, Luigi is shown riding a hot-air balloon, where he throws masks down onto Dinosaur Land. Mario had stomped a Koopa Troopa out of its shell, turning it into a Beach Koopa, who walks up to a nearby mask and puts it on as a replacement.
