A Koopa Troopa's shell consists of a carapace with colored, hexagon - shaped scutes in a pattern on the top, with smaller, triangular ones at the edges, with dark flesh underneath that appear as «grooves»; a beige colored plaston with several «ribs» on its surface and six
holes on it where the Koopa Troopa's head, arms,
legs and tail emerge from; all joined by a white bridge that follows
along the perimeter of the shell and rises at the spots where the Koopa Troopa's head and tail are.
