Hoopsters are large, ladybug-like enemies that first appear inYume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic andSuper Mario Bros. 2.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic /Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Artwork of Hoopster from the Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic manual (pg. 32).
Artwork fromYume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, showing the original design of a Hoopster

InYume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic andSuper Mario Bros. 2, Hoopsters appear inWorld 1-1 andWorld 6-3, where they crawl up and downvines, andWorld 5-2 andWorld 7-1, where they crawl on trees andladders respectively. Hoopsters move faster downward than they do upward, and they speed up if the player character is directly above or below them. If the character touches a Hoopster from the side or below, they get injured. The character can jump on the Hoopster to ride up the vine it is crawling on. They can be defeated with any attack, and simply fall off the screen when thrown.

In the original version and theSuper Mario All-Stars remake, Hoopsters are red with black spots, while theirSuper Mario Advance sprites depict them as yellow with red spots, making them somewhat resemble22-spot ladybugs. The artwork for all versions, however, depicts them as red with a lighter shade of magenta for their spots.

In the ending's cast list for the original version and theSuper Mario All-Stars remake, Hoopster's name was misspelled asHoopstar. This was corrected inWestern versions ofSuper Mario Advance.

Super Mario All-Stars /Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

InSuper Mario All-Stars andSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, both remakes ofSuper Mario Bros. 3, theking ofDesert Hill is turned into a Hoopster with his ownMagic Wand byMorton Koopa Jr. Additionally,Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'sWorld-e levelRich with Ropes features Hoopsters as enemies, acting the same as inSuper Mario Bros. 2 as well sharing a sprite with the king's.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

Four Hoopsters fromThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
“Oh no! Look! Koopa found we're missing and summoned his Hoopsters!”
Princess Toadstool, "Mario and the Beanstalk"

Several Hoopsters appear as minions ofKing Koopa inThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Mario and the Beanstalk", being sent by King Koopa to attackMario,Luigi,Princess Toadstool,Toad and theirgoose ally on a giant beanstalk. These Hoopsters are defeated by Mario, who throws several Garbanzo Beans at them. Much like the game, they are red, but their spots are white instead of pink. Their legs are shown to be purple, while their feet seem to be gloved. Their eyes also are connected to each other, and the area around them matches with their legs instead of being black.

Nintendo Adventure Books[edit]

When Mario first arrives in theMushroom Kingdom inDouble Trouble, he spots some Hoopsters (most of them presumably sand clones created by theGLOM) fighting for room on a hill. Later, Mario casually mentions that he hates it when the beetles ruin his picnics by stealing the food.

InLeaping Lizards, Hoopsters are used in the second International Mushroom Games event, the Beetlebowl, in which the goal is to catch and dunk Hoopsters into an opposing team's bucket. The gold trophy awarded to the winner of the tournament is also described as being based on a Hoopster.

InPipe Down!,Ludwig von Koopa can use his giant pipe organ to summon some Hoopsters and other enemies to swarm the Mario Bros. if they attempt to attack him directly during one portion of the book. InDinosaur Dilemma, while traveling through a forest,Yoshi spots some Hoopsters crawling around a tree trunk, and eyes them hungrily.
