A '''Beach Koopa''' (also called a '''Beach Koopa Troopa''') is a [[Koopa Troopa]] that has lost its [[shell]] and wears nothing more than an undershirt (and/or in some cases, boxer shorts), first appearing in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. In their original appearance, Beach Koopas appear small and hunched over, but were later depicted as being able to walk around like normal, shell-wearing Koopa Troopas. [[Koopa (species)|Other species of Koopas]] are also referred to as "Beach Koopas" when they lose their shells.

[[Bowser]] has a Beach Koopa form when separated from his shell, as shown in the PC version of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''.

Beach Koopas are also found in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', although here, they walk upright when evicted from their shells, instead of becoming small and hunched over, as in ''Super Mario World''.

Beach Koopas make a brief appearance in ''Paper Mario'' appearing in [[Koopa Village]] after the [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] stole the local [[Koopa Troopa]]s Shells.

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===

In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', a Beach Koopa briefly appears in the Subspace Emissary cut scene when [[Donkey Kong]] smashes a Koopa Troopa's shell with his fist, leaving a Beach Koopa. However, it is near impossible to see since it is only shown for half a second and it is very dark.
