'''Ankoopas''' are gigantic, pudgy [[Koopa Troopa]]s found only in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Their oblong shells extend up from their backs, behind their heads. They block paths and recite the line: "Derr...No matter what you hit me with, you can't knock me down!...I think." Unfortunately for them, [[Mario]]'s [[Firebrand]] Bros. technique can knock these giant Koopas down. To master the Firebrand, the brothers must first visit the [[Jellyfish Sisters]] in [[Gwarhar Lagoon]]. An Ankoopa also appears in a house in [[Beanbean Castle Town]]. In the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]], they are replaced with [[Gargantua Koopa Troopa]]s. |

Ankoopas (also generically referred to by Prima as "Turtles"[1]) are pudgy, giant Koopa Troopas found only in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They are cross-eyed and have oblong shells which extend up from their backs, behind their heads. Their name is a combination of the words "anchor" and "Koopa," with the former word referring to how they are hard to move.
Ankoopas block certain paths in the Beanbean Kingdom, reciting the line, "Derr... No matter what you hit me with, you can't knock me down. I think..." when spoken to. One also appears in a house in Beanbean Castle Town.
The road-blocking Ankoopas can only be moved with Mario's Dash technique, which knocks them down briefly; they will move aside and express surprise at the Bros.' ability, and then allow the pair to progress.
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, they are replaced by Big Koopa Troopas.
