TheSpiked Koopa,[1] also referred to as aPirate Koopa,[2]Spiked Pirate,[2][3]Spiky Pirate,[3] orTurtle,[4] is the first boss inWario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and the assault captain[5] of theBrown Sugar Pirates. While given a genericKoopa identifier in English, his Japanese name derives fromHammer Brother (｢トゲブロス」Toge Burosu, translating as "Thorn Bros."). He resides at the end of theRice Beach stage and is armed with spiky armor similar to that of aKoopatrol. In his fight withWario, he employs a three-pronged attack of striking from land, air, and underground. His shell makes him invulnerable toground pounds and fire. However, he can be rammed into, exposing his soft belly. After three hits to his vulnerable underside, he is defeated.
