The Electro-Koopa King,[1] also known as the Huge Red Electrokoopa[2] and Giant Koopa,[3] is a large variation of the Red Electrokoopa species with a similar sleeping behavior to the Snooza Koopa species, both from Super Mario Sunshine. Despite the name given by Prima Games, the Electro-Koopa King is actually dark green, and in spite of being an individual large version of an existing enemy and being called a "king," it does not technically act as a boss in the game, since it never attacks. The Electro-Koopa King appears only in Episode 5 of Pinna Park, sleeping on a metal screen behind the Ferris Wheel, and its electrical discharge makes the ride spin uncontrollably. The Electro-Koopa King can be defeated from Mario flipping the Revolving Gate beneath it, causing it to fall into the water and making a Shine Sprite appear atop the flag on the Ferris Wheel, which then returns to normal speed.
