“Aaaah! How did THAT happen???Youguys are no slouches!”
—Ankoopa,Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
An Ankoopa falling down.
Before and after being knocked over

Ankoopas[1] (also generically referred to byPrima as "Turtles"[2]) are pudgy, giantKoopa Troopas found only inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They are cross-eyed and have oblong shells which extend up from their backs, behind their heads. Their name is a combination of the words "anchor" and "Koopa".

Ankoopas block certain paths in theBeanbean Kingdom, reciting the line, "Derr... No matter what you hit me with, you can't knock me down. I think..." when spoken to. One also appears in a house inBeanbean Castle Town.

The road-blocking Ankoopas can only be moved withMario'sDash technique, which knocks them down briefly; they will move aside and express surprise at the Bros.' ability, and then allow the pair to progress.

InMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, they have been replaced withBig Koopa Troopas.

Notes[edit]

  • Moving the Ankoopa in northeastBeanbean Fields blocking the bridge to the area where thePiranha Bean is fought is actually optional, since it is possible to traverse around him throughTeehee Valley as soon as the brothers obtain theSuper Hammer, which can happen as early as when they return to the mainland from Oho Oasis.
