The '''Koopa Kids''' are minions of [[Bowser]] who  only appear in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. They are known as '''Mini-Bowsers''' in PAL territories, '''Mini Koopa''' in Japan (Bowser's name in Japan is Koopa) and '''Baby Bowsers''' in ''[[Mario Party|Mario Parties 1]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2|2]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 3|3]]''. The Koopa Kids resemble miniature versions of Bowser (and are therefore very similar in appearance to [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Baby Bowser]]). Originally, the Koopa Kids were nothing more than minions indirectly fought by the [[Mario]] crew when the Koopas attempted to crash their parties, but in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', one was finally made playable (despite this, Bowser shows them no mercy when they land on his [[Bowser Space|space]]. This is obviously so players using Koopa Kid do not have an advantage).

The Koopa Kids resemble miniature versions of Bowser (and are therefore very similar in appearance to [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Baby Bowser]]). A Koopa Kid also appears as a playable character in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 6]]''.


It is unknown how many Koopa Kids there are. Originally, there seemed to be only a few, but ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' implied there may be hundreds of them.
In the earlier games in the series, there appears to be an arbitrarily large number of Koopa Kids, such as in the ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' mini-game [[Baby Bowser Bonkers]]. Indeed, ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' specifically refers to the Koopa Kid who appears on [[Bowser Space]]s as "one of the Koopa Kids''. However, starting in ''Mario Party 5'', there seems to be only a single Koopa Kid, likely due to his new playable status. However, more than one can appear at once in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' (where Koopa Kid is non-playable again) in [[Pyramid Park]].


''Mario Party 5'' also introduced '''Green K. Kid''', '''Red K. Kid''' and '''Blue K. Kid''' who, as their names imply, are colored differently. The aforementioned colored kids are one Koopa Kid split into three. It is unknown if other Koopa Kids are also capable of duplicating like this.  
''Mario Party 5'' also introduced '''Green K. Kid''', '''Red K. Kid''' and '''Blue K. Kid''' ('''Green M. Bowser''', '''Red M. Bowser''' and '''Blue M. Bowser''' in PAL versions) who, as their names imply, are colored differently. In Mario Party 5, their first appearance, they are shown to be the result of one Koopa Kid splitting into three.


In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', Koopa Kid is no longer playable. He has his own [[Koopa Kid Orb|orb]] that Bowser sometimes sells in his shops. When it's used it will add a [[Koopa Kid Space]] to the board.

Koopa Kid's future is uncertain, as he does not appear in any games following ''Mario Party 7''. Additionally, [[Bowser Jr.]] has started appearing in the ''Mario Party'' series since ''Mario Party DS'', implying that Koopa Kid may have been retired in favor of him.
Koopa Kids have seemingly been removed from the ''Mario Party'' series starting in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', likely in favor of [[Bowser Jr.]], who appears in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' onward.

The Koopa Kids made their debut appearance in the original ''Mario Party'', as Bowser's henchmen, however despite being his henchmen, they are not seen until the end of the game.
The Koopa Kids made their debut appearance in ''Mario Party'', as Bowser's henchmen. They are only seen on the final board of the game, [[Eternal Star]].


After beating [[Bowser's Magma Mountain|Bowser's board]], Bowser will steal all the stars that the player collected throughout the game. Next he travels to the [[Eternal Star]] board, where he sets up base until the players find him, but before they can get the stars back, Bowser summons a group of seven Koopa Kids and forces the players to challenge them to the board.
After playing [[Bowser's Magma Mountain]], Bowser will steal all the [[Star]]s that the player collected throughout the game and travel to Eternal Star. When the players find him, he forces them to challenge seven Koopa Kid to get the Stars back..


When the players challenge the Koopa Kids, they must play the same way they did with their previous opponents, but this time if the players get close to a Koopa Kid they must challenge them to a mini game. The mini game involves jumping underneath a numbered block and the key to winning the game is whether the player selects a higher number than their opponent.
Each of the Koopa Kids is stationed in a different location on the game board, and can be challenged by any player for 20 coins. If this is done, the player will have to play a short mini-game against the Koopa Kid. Both characters will hit a [[Dice Block]], with the higher number winning. It is easy for the player to win, as the player's is rigged to only roll 8-10. If the player wins, he or she gets the Koopa Kid's Star and the Koopa Kid disappears from the board. However, if the Koopa Kid wins (which, as mentioned before, is unlikely), the Koopa Kid will take one of the player's Stars.


Following success and defeating the original group of Koopa Kids, a new group appears and the player must start all over again. Once the new group is defeated, the board is won and the players will use their stars to beat Bowser. Eventually the Koopa Kids and Bowser are sent flying into the air.

In ''Mario Party 2'', Koopa Kid appears on every board in the game, where he often causes trouble for the players. He does the following:
In ''Mario Party 2'', a single Koopa Kid appears on every board in the game, in a similar capacity to [[Toad]], who sells Stars. He is initially placed in one of several predetermined locations on the board alongside Toad, and every time that the Star is bought from Toad, he will move to Toad's previous location. If a player passes Koopa Kid, he will steal 5 Coins from that player. However, he occasionally gives a player 5 Coins instead, later claiming that this was an accident. He will always give the player coins if he or she is using a [[Bowser Suit]].
*Steals their coins and items
*Gives the player worthless items
*Causes them to land on bad spaces
*Knocks them into random spots.
Also in this game, the player is able to win a Bowser Bomb in Item Mini-Games. If this happens, Koopa Kid turns into Bowser, rolls 3 dice blocks, moves that many spaces, and steals all of each player's coins that he passes.


Despite mostly hindering the players, they do help them at times, but only if the players rank low.
If a [[Bowser Bomb]] is collected by any player in an Item Mini-Game, Koopa Kid will briefly be replaced by Bowser at the end of the term, who will hit three Dice Blocks and then travel around the board, stealing all coins from any player he passes.


More Koopa Kids appear in Bowser Land, where one of them replaces Toad as the host of the board, while another one was also seen later on the board where he appeared to be the leader of the Bowser Parade. He stands behind the player who decided to go on it and then keeps it going on for a while until it comes to a complete stop.
Several Koopa Kids appear in [[Bowser Land]], including one who hosts the board instead of Toad. Another Koopa Kid hosts the Bowser Parade. Bowser Land's [[Bowser Bank]]s are run by a unique blue ''Koopa Kid Banker''', who is depicted as wearing glasses. The secondary [[Item Shop]] on the board is also run by a red, monocle-wearing '''Koopa Kid Shopkeeper''', who will forcibly sell players items for more Coins than usual.
 
There is also a Bowser Bank manned by a Koopa Kid Banker that will trade any amount of coins to the player in exchange for 20 coins but if the players don't have enough coins then the Koopa Kid Banker will send them back to where they started. Interestingly, unlike the other Koopa Kids who are the same color as Bowser, the Koopa Kid Banker is a blue Koopa Kid with glasses.
 
Last, there is an item shop in Bowser Land that is owned by a Red K. Kid wearing a monocle. He will forcibly give the players any random item he has, but most of time, it hinders players and deals damage to them.

“I'm here to cause trouble on behalf of Bowser.”
Koopa Kid, Mario Party 2

The Koopa Kids are minions of Bowser who only appear in the Mario Party series. They are known as Mini-Bowsers in PAL territories, Mini Koopa in Japan (Bowser's name in Japan is Koopa) and Baby Bowsers in Mario Parties 1, 2, and 3. The Koopa Kids resemble miniature versions of Bowser (and are therefore very similar in appearance to Bowser Jr. and Baby Bowser). A Koopa Kid also appears as a playable character in Mario Party 5 and Mario Party 6.

In the earlier games in the series, there appears to be an arbitrarily large number of Koopa Kids, such as in the Mario Party 3 mini-game Baby Bowser Bonkers. Indeed, Mario Party 4 specifically refers to the Koopa Kid who appears on Bowser Spaces as "one of the Koopa Kids. However, starting in Mario Party 5, there seems to be only a single Koopa Kid, likely due to his new playable status. However, more than one can appear at once in Mario Party 7 (where Koopa Kid is non-playable again) in Pyramid Park.

Mario Party 5 also introduced Green K. Kid, Red K. Kid and Blue K. Kid (Green M. Bowser, Red M. Bowser and Blue M. Bowser in PAL versions) who, as their names imply, are colored differently. In Mario Party 5, their first appearance, they are shown to be the result of one Koopa Kid splitting into three.

In Mario Party 7, Koopa Kid is no longer playable. He has his own orb that Bowser sometimes sells in his shops. When it is obtained, it will add a Koopa Kid Space to the board.

Koopa Kids have seemingly been removed from the Mario Party series starting in Mario Party 8, likely in favor of Bowser Jr., who appears in Mario Party DS onward.

History

Mario Party

The Koopa Kids made their debut appearance in Mario Party, as Bowser's henchmen. They are only seen on the final board of the game, Eternal Star.

After playing Bowser's Magma Mountain, Bowser will steal all the Stars that the player collected throughout the game and travel to Eternal Star. When the players find him, he forces them to challenge seven Koopa Kid to get the Stars back..

Each of the Koopa Kids is stationed in a different location on the game board, and can be challenged by any player for 20 coins. If this is done, the player will have to play a short mini-game against the Koopa Kid. Both characters will hit a Dice Block, with the higher number winning. It is easy for the player to win, as the player's is rigged to only roll 8-10. If the player wins, he or she gets the Koopa Kid's Star and the Koopa Kid disappears from the board. However, if the Koopa Kid wins (which, as mentioned before, is unlikely), the Koopa Kid will take one of the player's Stars.

When all seven Koopa Kids are defeated, a new group appears and the player must start all over again. Once the new group is defeated, the board is won and the players will use their Stars to beat Bowser. Eventually the Koopa Kids and Bowser are sent flying into the air.

Mario Party 2

In Mario Party 2, a single Koopa Kid appears on every board in the game, in a similar capacity to Toad, who sells Stars. He is initially placed in one of several predetermined locations on the board alongside Toad, and every time that the Star is bought from Toad, he will move to Toad's previous location. If a player passes Koopa Kid, he will steal 5 Coins from that player. However, he occasionally gives a player 5 Coins instead, later claiming that this was an accident. He will always give the player coins if he or she is using a Bowser Suit.

If a Bowser Bomb is collected by any player in an Item Mini-Game, Koopa Kid will briefly be replaced by Bowser at the end of the term, who will hit three Dice Blocks and then travel around the board, stealing all coins from any player he passes.

Several Koopa Kids appear in Bowser Land, including one who hosts the board instead of Toad. Another Koopa Kid hosts the Bowser Parade. Bowser Land's Bowser Banks are run by a unique blue Koopa Kid Banker', who is depicted as wearing glasses. The secondary Item Shop on the board is also run by a red, monocle-wearing Koopa Kid Shopkeeper, who will forcibly sell players items for more Coins than usual.

Mario Party 3

In Mario Party 3, Koopa Kid ran his own Item Shop, which sometimes appears in place of Toad's, where he sold sneaky items such as Lucky Lamps, Reverse Mushrooms and Boo Bells. Koopa Kids also appear in the Item Minigame, where they often symbolize losing, such as the Koopa Kid space in Winner's Wheel.

In Duel Mode, Koopa Kid also appears as one of the possible partners. He isn't a default partner, but can be obtained through the lottery. His attack is one, and his health is one. He can occasionally turn into Bowser and deal triple damage when attacking; however, if the transformation fails, he deals no damage. Koopa Kid's salary is three coins per turn.

Mario Party 4

Darts of Doom

In Mario Party 4, a Koopa Kid would usually come in place of Bowser whenever someone lands on a Bowser Space, and would steal 10 to 30 Coins from either the player who landed there, or from all the players. Sometimes, the Koopa Kid would then call Bowser after stealing coins, and a Bowser event would begin. In the Bowser Minigames, two Koopa Kids work as Bowser's servants; one of which is seen fanning him and the other one explains the rules to the game (which may be Fruits of Doom, Darts of Doom or Balloon of Doom) and in addition, he also brings the dart board to the players and announces the scores in Darts of Doom. One also hosts the last board: Bowser's Gnarly Party and is seen selling items and hosting board games. Unlike other board hosts, this Koopa Kid appears identical to others. In addition, Koopa Kid can be unlocked as a playable character in the volleyball minigame.

In Mario Party 5, Koopa Kid is a playable character. In the Story Mode, Koopa Kid splits up into Red K. Kid, Blue K. Kid and Green K. Kid, and the player has to steal all their coins on abridged versions of the regular boards to defeat them. Unlike in a normal game, all three Koopa Kids move at the same time. In Card Party, Koopa Kid shows up to cause trouble on the Bowser Card.

Mario Party 6

In Mario Party 6, Koopa Kid is again a playable character. The colored Koopa Kid trio also reappears as the player's opponents in Solo Mode's minigames.

Mario Party 7

In Mario Party 7, Koopa Kid is no longer playable. Instead, he appears whenever someone lands on a Koopa Kid Space, and will do things such as swapping players' coins or positions, or use a Cursed Mushroom on the player/team who lands on his space. Red K. Kid, Blue K. Kid and Green K. Kid were also the main antagonists in the three multiplayer Bowser minigames, and they are seen operating the cannons in Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!. A Koopa Kid is also seen as one of the hazards (alongside Bowser) in Bowser's Lovely Lift!.

Mario Party Advance

In Mario Party Advance, Koopa Kids could be seen working with Bowser, and appear in some of his minigames, where the object was usually for the player to defeat them. Up to ninety-nine of them could appear at once. One main Koopa Kid appears throughout the game as Bowser's right-hand man, often appearing to antagonize the player by doing things such as stealing Mushrooms from them or flinging them somewhere else in Shroom City.

Relationship with Bowser

In the first Mario Party Bowser introduces Koopa Kid, then known as Baby Bowser, as his "cohort."

In Mario Party 4, whenever a Koopa Kid calls for Bowser, he refers to him as "Dad". However, it is unlikely that Bowser is the biological father of all the Koopa Kids, and that the Koopa Kids may just be clones of some nature. Bowser's only child is Bowser Jr. (or, in earlier materials, the Koopalings). Similarly, Bowser also grounds them by taking away their Mario action figure if they fail him, hinting that Bowser at the very least has a father-like relationship with them. In Mario Party 7, the Koopa Kids appear to work for Bowser for money, calling him "Mr. Bowser" and expecting to get a raise from Bowser after causing trouble on a Koopa Kid Space.

Trivia

  • In the Mario Party 5 artwork, Red Koopa Kid's and Blue Koopa Kid's shells are incorrectly colored green when they should be normally colored red and blue.
  • Both of this character's American names have been used by other Koopas in the Mario series. The name used from Mario Party to Mario Party 3 was "Baby Bowser," which is also the name of Bowser as an infant, and from Mario Party 4 to Mario Party 7, he was known as "Koopa Kid," which was the original name for the Koopalings.
    • Koopa Kid's Japanese and new European name, "Mini Koopa" and "Mini Bowser" respectively, are not used by other Koopas even once.
