TheElectro-Koopa King,[1] also known as theHuge Red Electrokoopa[2] andGiant Koopa,[3] is a largeRed Electro-Koopa with a similar sleeping behavior to theSnooza Koopa species, both fromSuper Mario Sunshine. Despite the name given byPrima Games, the Electro-Koopa King is actually dark green, and in spite of being an individual large version of an existing enemy and being called a "king," it does not technically act as a boss in the game, since it never attacks. The Electro-Koopa King appears only inEpisode 5 ofPinna Park, sleeping on ametal screen behind theFerris Wheel, and its electrical discharge makes the ride spin uncontrollably. The Electro-Koopa King can be defeated fromMario flipping theRevolving Gate beneath it, causing it to fall into thewater and making aShine Sprite appear atop the flag on the Ferris Wheel, which then returns to normal speed.
