Koopa Shells

[shadowgoomba]

Bowser appears to have a fondness for summoning spells. All of his magic attacks in SMRPG involved summoning something, except Crusher.

In Super Mario 64, he uses a spell to turn invisible, then he uses a spell to turn himself super powerful and also rainbow....

[shadowgoomba]

Didn't the Star Rod do the last too things? Also, I don't think he turned invisible; I think he teleported.

So bowser is trained in magic, that makes sence seeing as how magickoopas seem to be a large force in bowsers army, bowser would want to be trained in magic so he would have the advantage against mario.

@meta black yoshi
Don't you mean paper mario?

[Meta Black Yoshi]

O no. I mean Super Mario 64. I've never played Paper Mario, but I guess he could have done it in there too....So sinse koopas are so into magic it would make sinse that normal koopa troopas would know a little about magic too.

[Rex]

But not much, seeing as most koopas don't know any magic at all.

Maby the shell throwing varieties use magic to throw theri shell and then make it come back to them. Koops must be using some kind of trick to make that big shell apere out of nowhere to protect Mario. But I guess that's probably the power or that Merlin guy. But all the koopas could be using Magic to throw themselves while the're in their shell and then again to stop and pop back out. Koopas in the past couldn't do that so maby Bowser saw Mario smaking his followers aound in their shells so he then trained them in magic so they wouldn't be as vulnerable. Or maby they are just really super atheletic and they use a reverse spin to stop themselves. They probably would have gotten training for that too. Koopa the quick is preatty atheleic. But if he's as atheletic as they get, then I doubt it's athletisism that lets them do all those fancy shell tricks.
