Koopa Troopa

Turtle-like video antagonist

A Koopa Troopa is a turtle-like enemy in Nintendo's Mario video game franchise, recognizable by its shell and bipedal walk.

When stomped, it retreats into its shell, which can then be kicked as a projectile.

The name combines "koopa" (the turtle species in the Mario universe) with "troopa," suggesting foot soldier status in Bowser's army.

I kept dying to the same Koopa Troopa.
