A winged version of the Koopa Troopa has also appeared since ''Super Mario Bros.'' and is shown nearly as often. This type is known as the Koopa Paratroopa, and they have the same variations in shell color. The green ones will usually bounce around instead of actually flying, while the red-shelled ones will actually fly in a set pattern. Blue Paratroopas have also appeared primarily within the RPG games, where they are usually allies. Paratroopas will lose their wings and become normal Koopa Troopas after being jumped on. In ''Super Mario RPG'', Paratroopas appeared often in place of standard Koopa Troopas and were known as Sky Koopas and Malakoopas. While the Green Koopa Troopa is the most commonly shown, with Paratroopas it is usually the red variant that is featured. | A winged version of the Koopa Troopa has also appeared since ''Super Mario Bros.'' and is shown nearly as often.
