Koops

Koops is a character in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He joins Mario's party once Mario is about to head to Hookbill's Castle. The Koopa Troopa lives in the small village of Petalburg, along with his girlfriend, Koopie Koo. Most of the residents of Petalburg think that Koops is a coward, so he goes with Mario to prove them wrong, and to avenge his father Koopley, whom they thought is dead, but ends up being alive.
