The Egyptian Koopa[1] is a large ancient Egyptian-themed Koopa Troopa who is one of the bosses from Mario Pinball Land. He along with Porcupuffer are the only two bosses who make their debut appearance in the game.
Egyptian Koopa appears inside the pyramid in the Shifting Sands Stage. He first appears as a statue, turning "real" when Mario reaches his room. Egyptian Koopa has the ability to levitate. He attacks Mario by using enchanted obelisks to make magic spheres appear, which follow Mario and, when they touch him, make him smaller and more likely to fall out of the stage. However, if Mario hits the enchanted obelisks, he will become bigger. To defeat the Egyptian Koopa, Mario has to run into the enchanted obelisks to make himself extra large and bash him three times while big. Once defeated, he will shrink away and leave behind his headdress and canes, which disappear soon after. Like the other bosses in Mario Pinball Land, the Egyptian Koopa can be fought again in the Fiery Stage.
