King Koopa

King Koopa's persona: Personality Koopa is often dishonest and treacherous, as well as sadistically enjoying doing really horrid things, including trying to ruin Christmas for everyone, as he saw it as a "Bah Humkoop". While Koopa is not beyond keeping his word, he frequently does break it. Koopa will not hesitate to dispose of those who have outlived their usefulness to him. As seen in the episode Crimes R Us, Koopa's justification for turning on Clyde is that he, had his fingers crossed when he agreed to split everything stolen equally, thus allowing Koopa to cut Clyde out of the deal later on; These sort of justifications are commonly employed logic for Koopa to get-away with nearly anything as far as he is concerned. His exact traits shift wildly though from episode to episode. He even takes on other villains and becoming an even bigger threat to the land they were targeting. King Bowser Koopa, better known as King Koopa, Koopa, King Dad, and various other aliases, is the main antagonist of all three cartoon series' based on the Super Mario Bros. video games, as well as the titular protagonist villain of King Koopa's Kool Kartoons. He is the tyrannical ruler of Dark Land, leader of the Koopa Pack, father of the Koopa Kids and arch-nemesis of Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Toad and Yoshi. He is (somewhat loosely) based on both Bowser and Wart from the original games. He has 7 children. Biography Past As stated by Herlock Solmes in The Adventures of Sherlock Mario, when Bowser Koopa was young, he was cowardly bully who the other koopas never let play with them and gave the nick-name, "lizard-lips". He also had urinary incontinence until he was twelve and flunked kindergarten so many times that he established a world record for it. In adult years, Bowser somehow established himself as the tyrannical king of the entire Koopa race and other species, such as the Goombas, Piranha Plants, Shy Guys, etc. He also apparently sired seven children, which included the brutish Bully Koopa, the talkative Big Mouth Koopa, the devious Cheatsy Koopa, the inventive Kooky Von Koopa, the vain Kootie Pie Koopa, and the twins, Hip and Hop Koopa. The Super Mario Bros. Super Show As shown by the intro, King Koopa had nearly conquered the entire Mushroom Kingdom, and was on the verge of attaining complete control by capturing its ruler, Princess Toadstool and her assistant, Toad, who he had cornered on a cliff with a platoon of his minions. However, just before Koopa could grab her, he fearfully noticed the heroic plumbers, Mario and Luigi suddenly appearing from a warp pipe leading from their world to the Mushroom Kingdom. After witnessing them inadvertently defeat his army, Koopa was forced to make a hasty retreat. Since then, King Koopa has constantly attempted to kidnap the princess again and again, often with the help of his assistant, Mouser and his other liutenants, Tryclyde, Clawgrip and Fry Guy, but was always thwarted by the Mario Bros, who act as her bodyguards as they traversed the country, liberating the various territories of the Mushroom Kingdom from Koopa's control while also searching for a way to drive the evil monarch out of the kingdom for good. Sometimes, the threat King Koopa posed often shifted, as, in some instances, he would only appear as a minor annoyance while in others he would conquer or come close to destroying cities, towns, or even planets. The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 In the sequel series, it is established that, sometime between the events of the two series, Mario and Luigi managed to defeat and subsequently imprison Koopa inside a Banishment Zone before sealing it off with ten thousand bricks, finally freeing the Mushroom Kingdom from his rule before returning to Brooklyn. But later on, much to everyone's shock, Koopa somehow escaped his imprisonment and once again attacked the Mushroom Kingdom with his newly built Doom Ship. In addition, he has introduced his own children, the Koopa Kids, as the newest commanders of his army. Koopa was able to cement his rule in the foreboding Dark Land region of the Mushroom Kingdom, where he and his children resided in their palace, and has continued to devise new plans to to consolidate the rest of the country under his clawed thumb. Faced with his return, the Mario Bros. came out of retirement to once again defend the Mushroom Kingdom against the evil Koopa family. Knowing how his past direct confrontations with the plumbers had gone in the past, Koopa operated almost all of his schemes through his minions and children and dropped his use of aliases entirely. While his goals of taking over the Mushroom Kingdom remained the same, Koopa's methods of doing so became noticeably stranger than what he had done in the previous series, such as when he tried to have his children capture Prince Hugo the Huge by transforming them into giant ninjas so he could turn the Prince into a poodle or when he tried to use a magical artifact called the Doom-Dancer music box to force everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom to dance. On top of wanting to conquer to the Mushroom Kingdom, Koopa expanded his goals to include the real world on a regular basis as well, although he likely only wanted to do so in order to spite the Mario Brothers. Aside from attempting to rule both the Mushroom Kingdom and the real world, a variety of Koopa's appearances involved him trying to teach his children how to become villains like himself, such as when he broke infamous criminal "Crime Wave" Clyde out of prison and hired him to teach them how to be criminals, or trying to please them (specifically Kootie Pie) at the expense of others. Like in the previous series, King Koopa would always be beaten towards the end of the episode, supposedly being fully defeated in the episode "Super Koopa" (although this is only because it was the last episode produced. Super Mario World (1991) In the final cartoon series, King Koopa and the Koopa Kids, after being banished from the Mushroom Kingdom yet again, somehow managed to escape into Dinosaur Land. As stated by Luigi in the episode "Mama Luigi" as Mario, Princess Toadstool and himself attempted to take a vacation in Dinosaur Land, Koopa attacked and kidnapped the Princess, although he was defeated thanks to Yoshi and they decided to stay in Dinosaur Land as a result. Koopa's goals are portrayed on a significantly smaller scale than in previous appearances, as he is only ever shown trying to take control of Dinosaur Land, particularly Dome City, although it has no real benefits for him. In his last appearance in "A Little Learning", King Koopa was left in his bedroom as it was rapidly filling with lava, meaning that he could have potentially met his demise, although this remains unconfirmed. He very hates Mario brothers. Hobby: Raising the Koopa Kids. Being horrible. Coming up with different ways to seize power over the Mushroom Kingdom. Goals: Take over the Mushroom Kingdom, Earth and Dinosaur Land. Destroy Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Toad, and Yoshi (all failed). Raise the Koopa Kids to be evil (succeeded). Kurwa!
