More about Koopatrol...
Games: Paper Mario series
 
This armor-clad Koopa Troopa appears throughout the Paper Mario series.  His first appearance was in the first Paper Mario, where he took on the role of elite soldier in Bowser's Castle alongside the well-established Hammer Bros.  With high defense and pointed helmet, these guys were tougher than your average foe, though by the time Mario would reach them in the first Paper Mario, he would certainly have options for dealing with them, such as ally Watt for defense piercing and the Spike Shield badge to allow jump attacks.  Koopatrol's main attack is a shell slam that is a little more powerful than that of other Koopas.  It can curl into its shell to greatly raise its defense for a turn, or it can summon another of its own into battle.  Koopatrol also appeared in the sequels: Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario; though as Bowser was not the main villain and did not play host to the final level, Koopatrols appeared elsewhere and didn't necessarily feel so elite.  Though mainly known for their appearances in the Paper Mario series, Koopatrol also appeared in Mario Pinball, breaking out of its paper-thin form.  They seem similar to the Terrapin and Terra Cotta enemies that appeared in Mario RPG.
