- "We're the Roving Racers! We rove the globe—racing in every kingdom that we can get to!"
- —The Green Roving Racer introduces himself.
The Roving Racers are a quartet of Koopa Troopas in Super Mario Odyssey. After defeating Bowser in the Moon Kingdom, a green Koopa Troopa wearing a cap, along with a rankings board will appear in every kingdom, so the player can compete in a Koopa Freerunning mini-game (with the exception of the Cloud Kingdom, Ruined Kingdom, Dark Side and Darker Side). The player must win the race by managing to reach the shining beacon at the end to receive a Power Moon before the Roving Racers do. They are based on Koopa the Quick from Super Mario 64.
The Roving Racers are able to pass through Mario during the races, but their bodies are solid otherwise.
After winning the Regular Cup, the player can compete in a second race in the more challenging Master Cup to receive a second Power Moon, though this version is much harder then the original, as a golden Koopa replaces the purple one, and will mostly use shortcuts to reach the goal. You can afterwards continue playing these races for what is said to be for fun, but can be rewarded with coins. If you get 1st, you would win about 50 coins, and a smaller amount if you get 2nd, and possibly for 3rd.
The Roving Racers use slang in their speech, and their colours are blue, green, red and purple and all four wear hats the same colors as their shells. Though as said, a golden Koopa will replace the purple one in the Master Cup race. Their limbs are also longer during the racing minigame.
