Page 147.</ref> or '''Meca Koopas'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #39, page 63.</ref>) are one of [[Bowser]]'s many minions that debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are small mechanical versions of Bowser, resembling windup toys. Each of them has a windup key on its back, and their appearances feature several mechanical appendages. They walk in a rhythmical way and must wind themselves up again from time to time in order to keep moving. In most appearances, they have large lazy-eyed, slack-jawed faces resembling Bowser's original sprites from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and [[Lemmy Koopa]]. | '''Mechakoopas''' (also formatted as '''Mecha Koopas''', '''Mecha-Koopas''',<ref>M.
