Does Magikoopa have a shell under its robe?

Post by Ashan »

It never really occurred to me that since Magikoopas are koopas, they'd have shells under their robes. So then how come when you stomp them they die in 1 hit instead of going into their shells?

Serious replies only

They don't die, they intentionally retreat to regain their focus before they appear again

Maybe koopas only have 1 equipment slot and if they're wearing a robe they can't wear a shell?
The super koopas would be evidence for this theory, since they have a cake instead of a shell.

"Magikoopas may have shells, although since they have never been seen without their robes this is unknown. Kamek, a Magikoopa, in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, says the Mario Bros. are starting to "chap [his] shell" after taking Baby Bowser's treasures (as an expression), so it is assumed Magikoopas have them."

Clearly it has a vestigial shell like these terrestrial slugs

A friend told me last night when I was looking for how to pronounce Kamek's name that it literally means turtle in Japanese, so he does have a shell then. There's my somewhat serious answer about a magic turtle wizard wearing a pointy hat.

They're wizards. Wizards are traditionally wimpy and low in defense, so their shells don't offer much protection.

Well, this is an old topic but my guess is that they have a shell but aren't wearing it. It would explain why they're so thin and we have evidence that they don't need to have their shell on at all times (The caped Koopas from SMW and the Koopas that get their shells stolen in both SMW and Paper Mario).

I need to post here to point out that "Koopas with shells must retreat into their shells when hit" is a god damn fallacy. Evidents: Hammer Brother . I rest my case
Well it is a decent hack but sometime its just too repetitif there no level that actually pop in your face and your like oh yeah that level they all ressemble themselves and just monster along the way.
