Character Sheet: Koopa General

KOOPA GENERAL


The Koopa General was an original character created for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, voiced by Scott Menville (AKA Robin from Teen Titans). He was a blue Paratroopa with a spiky shell, making him the origin of the Spiny Shells in the game. He clashed with the heroes most prominently during the battle on Rainbow Road, driving a giant armored kart with a crushing mouth on the front and a Bullet Bill launcher on the top. He is also seen wielding a spear. After Mario and Donkey Kong work together to destroy his vehicle, he emerges from the wreckage, tucks into his shell and takes off after them, divebombing them just as the Spiny Shell would in-game. There is easily more than enough here.

Here's the moveset I came up with:


Standard B: Bullet Bill Launcher

He will activate his bullet bill launcher and fire one straight forward as a projectile.


Side B: Crusher Car

He will charge forward in his kart, the metal teeth on the front clanging open and closed, dealing heavy damage when connected.


Up B: Heat-Seeking Wings

He will take off into the air on his wings, able to move at much higher speeds than a normal Paratroopa and moving in straight lines while making the familiar hiss.


Down B: Explosion

He will charge for a time and, when struck or connecting with another player, will let loose a bright blue blast.


Final Smash: Spiny Shell

He will stand, looking angry, shout "Blue Shell" and take off into the sky and offscreen. He will then target the player in the lead, circle down over their head, and strike them, exploding and destroying the stage around them for a short time.


Entrance: He will land on his wings and stand at attention.


Taunts: Up, he will stand at attention and salute. Side, he will stand beside his kart and look proudly at his opponents. Down, he will look angry and say "You won't get away from me!"


Kirby Hat: His awesome helmet


Kart: His kart from the movie, obviously

Special Move: He will literally become the Spiny Shell, and then revert back after emerging from the explosion.


Spirit Battle: A horde battle of Bowser's minions with him in the lead, on Movie Kingdom.


Victory Screen: A blue explosion will light up and he will land, looking cocky.

Losing Screen: He will emerge from burning wreckage, looking angry.


Color Swaps: His normal colors, a green shell version, a red shell version, a yellow shell version, a dry bones version, a Koopatrol version, a Bowser version, and a Dry Bowser version.


Thanks for reading! Next up, his character card, and let's toss in the new stage's card for good measure.
