'''Koopas''' are a race of turtle-like creatures. There are many different types of Koopas, with [[Koopa Troopa]]s being their main and titular variant. As a species, Koopas first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' as the successor of [[Shellcreeper]]s, their older relatives from ''[[Mario Bros.]]''.

===Koopa Kid===
{{main|Koopa Kid}}
'''Koopa Kids''' (also referred to as '''Mini-Bowsers''') are a species of small Koopas that look similar to [[Bowser]] and work for him. They have appeared in every [[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]] game except [[Mario Party DS]], [[Mario Party 8]], and [[Mario Party 9]]. In those games, they were replaced by [[Bowser Jr.]]. They come in 3 colors: Red, Blue, and Green (green is the one that is most commonly seen). In oneearlier gamegames they were refferedreferred to as '''Baby Bowsers''', which may mean that they are Bowser's sons (especially as they are seen calling him "Dad"), but in all of the installments for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] they've also referred to [[Bowser]] as Mr. Bowser, which may also mean they are just another minion, but it has never been confirmed.
