Koopa Troopa

Koopa Troopas are recurring and common enemies in the Mario franchise. This trait would be inherited by Koopa Troopas (Nokonoko in Japan), named as such in the 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System video game, | Super Mario Bros., in which they were the troops in Bowser's (''King Koopa' in Japan) army, hence "Koopa Troopas": they are Bowser's troopers.
