Sgt. Flutter is technically a black Paratroopa and the M&L one is called a Paratroopea. Oh well, I guess Blue Koopa Troopas never needed to fly... in SMW. Did anybody remember Parakarry? He's blue. Well, light blue. Okay. You can close this thread now.

Parakarry could be the only one, though. He's so absentminded he could be blue because he stumbled in to blue paint and never thought to wash his shell.

That may be. Whatever the case, go to the Modern Art area to see pictures of Mario monsters from the... research.

that's crazy. I would have instantly said that Blue paratroopas exist without a doubt in SMW! Now I gotta rethink my entire life.

It does seem odd that there isn't a blue paratroopa in SMW. out of the paratroopas there are different types such as the bouncing ones, the up and down ones, and the left to right ones. does color dictate their behavior? or does red and green have equal share in their flight methods?

In Mario Kart Double Dash, the Blue Shell item has wings, so could that be considered a blue para troopa?

Yes it is. Also, it explodes. Anyway, it's likely that Parakarry is naturally blue, given the simple fact that there's no reason he shouldn't be. I'm sold on the idea that blue parakoopas exist but are rarely seen, whether by coincidence or design.

Blue Parakoopas probably aren't in SMW because there isn't much of a need, they are meant to be rare it looked like, so having another chance to see them when you could simply reuse an old sprite might of been a waste. However I think I saw in a texture dump from the GCN version's beginning section that Parakarry has a blue shell.

Agreed about the blue parakoopas in SMW.
But Parakarry is in the original Paper Mario, on N64. He looks like this.

Actually, Koopa Paratroopas in SMW are just normal Koopas with a wing sprite stuck on the side. You'll see this when one collides with another enemy. The enemy goes between the Koopa and his wings. Parakarry was is cool.

Same with paragoombas. You would also know this if you had at any point looked at the 8x8 editor in Lunar Magic.

And Parakarry was is lame.

I don't have Lunar Magic.
Parakarry isn't lame, he's just... not as cool as the others, like Lakilester.
I still can't believe there are so many replies to a simple question.

Yes, I see the thread is semi-old, but this really needs to be cleared up: blue Koopa Paratroopas most certainly do exist... in a legitimate normal Super Mario game! Super Mario Bros. 1, even!

Can't believe everyone missed it, really... but all green enemies, save for any on-screen with the axe, are blue when underground or in a castle. And while there are no Koopa Paratroopas underground in Super Mario Bros, the castle of World 8-4 has four of 'em! Blue! Koopa Paratroopas! Completely legitimate! Those "green" Koopa Paratroopas are as blue as the Goombas are in 1-2 and 4-2!

1. Its not up to you whether it should be bumped.

2. The only reason they were blue is because they shared the same palette as everything else.

3. IT WAS YOU. I WAS WATCHING THE ONLINE USERS AND IT SHOWED A GUEST VIEWING THIS THREAD.

I know the Koopas were blue because they shared the same palette of all the other green sprites. So... why was everything else also changed to blue, then? Was there any reason at all to change the palettes for green enemies to blue in underground and castle levels? Not really, unless it was to deliberately change the enemies to blue . Point is, they exist.

And normally, most message boards allow bumping for an actual reason, to actually make a useful contribution to the thread. Such as I did here, realizing what everyone else overlooked. You know, for an actual reason.

They changed the palette to blue to make it known you are underground.
