Why are koopa troopas always drawn like this in official art?Aren't they supposed to be enemies?
>>689341884Only if they walk into you
>>689341884>Aren't they supposed to be enemies?It's nothing personalThey're just serving their kingdomKoopa Troopas aren't really all that malicious and there are even plenty that aren't even working for Bowser and get along with Mario and friends
>>689342001It's weird that after half a century they still don't have some sort of animation that shows how/ why they kill you. Are they poisonous to the touch? Why is Mario sent into the air?
>>689342172Don't they bite in Wonder?
>>689342172Turtles bite so I guess Mario gets bit. I guess the Goombas do too since they got pointy teeth.
>>689341884It flip-flops from game to game. In Odyssey they were friendly. and I can't remember if they were in Bowser's Fury.
>>689342023So you're saying the Koopa Kingdom has mandatory military service?And why do we almost never see female koopas?
>>689342664Probably?Koopa Troopas don't really have it against it personally for Mario but it's not like the ones who work for Bowser hate his gutsBowser's a genuine hero to them, it's just that he can't help but do dumb things while simping
>>689342172If you could zoom in to see them close like Mario would you'd see they're all identical instances of the blonde hotpants koopa girl drawn by minus8. When mario walks into them they do a prolonged groovy sex scene set to music and mario collapses in exhaustion. "lives" is a euphemism for green mushrooms which are a powerful aphrodisiac and allow mario to skip his refractory period.
>>689341884Who said that you cannot normally look friendly and cute despite being somebody's enemy.
>>689342664>So you're saying the Koopa Kingdom has mandatory military service?That's an interesting question. Though Bowser seems like the sort who would draft people arbitrarily if needed, I suspect the reason the overwhelming majority of Koopas are soldiers has more to do with the fact Koopa territory in general has nothing going for it beyond mining and weapons' construction. Being a soldier means having a shot at living somewhere that isn't at the base of an active volcano, toiling in a factory to build hammers and bombs, so most will naturally jump at the chance. Them setting up military bases everywhere without care to national sovereignty is their way of escaping that.

>>689341884they're silly little guys
>>689341884I guess Ninty just likes cute enemies for games like Mario and Kirby.
>>689343467>they do all this instead of just moving on their own termsDoes the mushroom kingdom have a really strong anti-immigrant policy? You know aside from the odd diplomat I rarely see any non-toads around toad town.
>>689341884No, have you ever played the spin offs like Paper Mario? There are koopas that aren't aligned with Bowser, same with goombas and other creatures.
>>689341884koopas are qt
>>689342172They have a bite animation now
