Edition, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Kart Tour, a Koopa Troopa can withdraw into its shell and pop back out in mid-air. Despite having large heads, Koopa Troopas can pull them into their shells with little effort. However, there have also been less common colors such as blue, yellow, light-blue, light-green, dark-green, orange, purple, black, and, on rare occasions, gold. The most common color for a Koopa Troopa's shell is green, with red being the second. In Super Mario Party, Red Koopa Troopas' scales have an orange tint from the playable Koopa Troopa.Ī Koopa Troopa's shell consists of a carapace with colored, hexagon-shaped scutes in a pattern on the top, with smaller, triangular ones at the edges, with dark flesh underneath that appear as 'grooves' a beige colored plaston with several 'ribs' on its surface and six holes on it where the Koopa Troopa's head, arms, legs, and tail emerge from all joined by a white bridge that follows along the perimeter of the shell and rises at the spots where the Koopa Troopa's head and tail are. In Super Mario Strikers, the color of their scales changes depending on which team they are on: salmon for Mario's, chalky yellow for Luigi's, peach for Waluigi's, and orange for Daisy's. Some Koopa Troopas can have olive green, peach and even cyan scales.

Koopa Troopas generally have yellow scales, but in earlier games had orange. Having beaks, Koopa Troopas have no teeth compared to other species, but may be drawn with them for expression purposes (although their conceptual ancestor, Shellcreepers, have them). Starting from Super Mario World onwards, they now stand on two legs, have more rounded noses, and wear shoes with beige soles that often match the color of the shells they wear (in the Super Mario Galaxy series, however, they revert back to walking on four legs, having four toes on their back legs and being barefooted). In earlier games, Koopa Troopas were quadrupedal (walking on four legs), had flatter noses, and detailed leg joints.

Their hands have four pointed/triangular-shaped digits (excluding artwork from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake, and the Paper Mario series where in-game their fingers are not) and have three pointed toes on their flat-soled feet, which, unlike other Koopa species, have no pads at all. They have elliptical beady eyes, large beak-like noses, short limbs, and large heads.

In general, they have basic appearances compared to other Koopa species. Koopa Troopas are tortoise-like creatures with removable shells. They are notable for the many uses of their shells in the Super Mario franchise. Since Super Mario 64, however, not all Koopa Troopas work for Bowser (or any other villain), some of whom even act as allies to Mario during his adventures, and have appeared as playable characters in various spin-off games starting with Super Mario Kart. Koopa Troopas are usually displayed as foot soldiers of Bowser's Minions. Koopa Troopas (commonly shortened to Koopas or sometimes Troopas) are anthropomorphic, turtle-like creatures with removable shells that come in many different colors, with red and green Koopa Troopas being the most common green Koopa Troopas usually walk back and forth without any concerns for pits or other obstacles, and red Koopa Troopas usually walk back and forth without falling off of their platforms.
