Koopas have been a staple of Super Mario games since 1985, but how fast can you touch them in every mainline Mario game?
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ About j0rts ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Hi there! I'm j0rts, and I like to explore mostly pointless things in video games while playing them in weird, unconventional ways.
Despite my name, this channel has nothing to do with jorts. In fact, I've never even worn a pair of jorts in my life. I just find the word fun to say... j o r t s.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to check out my channel. If you'd like to hang out with me live, be sure to visit my Twitch channel over at / j0rts

[@clearlypellucid]

Wait a minute, how did you not pause to note that in Super Mario World, if you go left, you can almost immediately touch a shell-free Koopa, and if you go right you can almost immediately touch a shell without a Koopa? We found that Koopa's missing shell!

[@Peyatoe]

So the real question is, is it a koopa without the koopa?

The koopa in YI 1 is blue, the shell in YI 2 is red

6:14 Lakitus are technically Koopa variants. I know you said later in the video that you wanted normal Koopas when possible, but I'd still say they're a lot more closely related than Electro Koopas at least. lol

I never noticed how absent koopas are from 3D Mario games... did Reggie just conclude that they're too finicky? It's easy to accidentally cause a mess with koopas in the 2D games, maybe it's worse in 3D

[@ericriley1985]

What does Reggie have to do with Koopas appearing in 3D Mario?

[@AudreyCubed]

@@ericriley1985 Reggie has been the head koopa implementer in all Mario games since Hotel Mario. He sits in the corner of the room while they're designing levels and yells at the devs when he wants to see a koopa on the screen

[@LinkTheOnePieceFan]

Yeah Reggie just didn’t have the coding skill or he just forgot since he has single handedly developed every Nintendo game ever and when you’re that cool you forget stuff

[@ElectrikStatik900]

There are Koopas in Super Mario 3D World and Bowser's Fury.

[@Squirtle_Squad_Supremacy]

​@@ElectrikStatik900we saw that in the video. The way "how absent" was used means very rare

[@kulrigalestout]

I guess Koopa Troopas are becoming an endangered species in the 3D timeline. I'm sure it has nothing to do with kart racing maniacs lobbing koopa shells at each other all race.

[@ianjohnson218]

I think you should count super Mario 64 ds as a separate game, because enough changes are made that it can significantly change the result from the original game. I’m pretty sure the koopa you were originally looking for in super Mario 64 is there in the remake.

[@SuperMariover64]

The koopa is in bomb omb battlefield, but I'm pretty sure it spawns after you do the koopa the quick star

[@calzoneyed]

The cutscenes are also different in that game and so they're different lengths

[@tigerjupmer123]

Well koopas do appear their but you have to complete Star 2

You know, I always wonder why koopas are so rare in the 3d game. Like sure there must be a lot of limitations when developing but why? There’s so much you could do with koopas.

[@pengil3]

Perhaps it has to do with shell kicking? In 3D, kicking a shell in the direction you want is way harder, so perhaps they reduced the amount of Koopas you encounter so that shell kicking doesn’t become tedious. Just guessing though.

[@EF0E]

@@pengil3 I thought that too, but I do like what they did in Mario 64 where you can surf on the shells. That suits 3D really well.

[@edwinvanderhaeghen2221]

@@pengil3 Yes, game design wise this is probably the case, mario levels while seeming rather straight forwards are usually VERY instrincally designed to the smallest details from spawn time to enemy positioning. Designing a level in mind with a random projectile that goes anywhere depending on player input is a lot easier to make fun if the player has generally the option of pushing it left or right. But once you involve multiple dimensions you as the designer have to incorperate this feature or leave it out.

[@pengil3]

@@EF0E I did think about that after posting the comment. Shame all the other 3D games didn't use it or entirely scrapped koopas as an enemy.
