Koopas are common enemies. They are a species of turtle that always seems to be after Mario.
In-Game[]
When jumped on, they will go into their shell and stop moving. You can jump on or walk into it again, and the shell will shoot, sliding on the ground and bouncing off any walls. While in this sliding shell state, it will kill or hurt any other enemy in its path (That includes you.), jumping on it again will cause it to stop and repeat the cycle. They can be flung by Faith Plates, can walk on or be blocked by Hard Light Bridges, carried by Excursion Funnels, killed by Lasers and will walk on platforms of all kinds.
They can only truly be killed by fireballs, lasers or environmental hazards, like pits or spikes.
