Jr. Troopa is a recurring enemy in the original Paper Mario.
Background
A jerk who lives in the woods near Goomba Village, Jr. Troopa would always kick Goombario and Goombaria out of "his" playground and generally bully them. He and Mario first fought when Mario entered the playground to find Goompa's Hammer, and then continued to fight no less than five other times throughout the adventure. Each time they fought, he gained a new ability: he hid in his shell to raise his defense, he grew wings, he grew a spike, and he learned magic. Despite his resourcefulness, he always lost and was humiliated afterwards.
According to Goombario, Jr. Troopa is something of an idiot, as he only attacks people who are stronger than him. He backed this up by swimming from Toad Town to Lavalava Island and back just to get at Mario, when he could have just flown anyway. He has a distinct fear of bugs and a hatred of both water and snow, and is seen to be a crazy man by most people. He and Mario faced off a final time in Bowser's Castle after Jr. Troopa took down the Koopa Bros. with one hit each, though Jr. Troopa lost again and still promised to get Mario the next time.
Trivia
- Jr. Troopa's hobby is ordering stuff by mail.
- While Jr. Troopa himself doesn't appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, he can be seen in the background of the letter that Zip Toad sends to Mario.
