AClimbing Koopa[1][2] (also formatted asclimbing Koopa),[3] also called afence-climbing Koopa[3] orcrawling Koopa,[4] is aKoopa Troopa that climbsfences. Climbing Koopas appear in theSuper Mario series, particularly withinSuper Mario World,New Super Mario Bros.,New Super Mario Bros. Wii, andNew Super Mario Bros. 2.

InSuper Mario World, Climbing Koopas are found incastles and come in two colors: green and red. The green variety moves slowly, while the red variety is as fast asMario andLuigi. Climbing Koopas move in one direction, either horizontal or vertical. When they reach the edge of the fence, they flip to the opposite side of the fence, but only if a wall is not in the way. They can be easily defeated byfireballs,punches from the opposite side of the fence, or simply having the player be on top of the Koopas as they pass by. The bottom two eight-by-eight tiles on their back sprites appear to be flipped by mistake, due to the bottom line on their shells moving opposite of the rest of the shells. They also grantpoint combos when the player steps on them while climbing on the fence, allowing the player to earnextra lives. They do not turn intoMask Koopas after the player completes theSpecial Zone (or finds all 96 goals inSuper Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2).

InSuper Mario World, Climbing Koopas appear in#1 Iggy's Castle,#4 Ludwig's Castle, and Door 2 ofBowser's Castle. InNew Super Mario Bros., Climbing Koopas appear inWorld 3-Tower; inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, they appear only inWorld 4-Castle; and inNew Super Mario Bros. 2, they appear inWorld 5-Tower andWorld 5-Castle. All retain their previous characteristics as inSuper Mario World.
