Super Mario Odyssey 2: 7 Enemies That Need To Be Playable
1. Koopa Troopa
Other than Goombas, Koopa Troopas are the most iconic Mario enemy. Introduced all the way back in the original Super Mario Bros.
It makes no sense that they aren't in Super Mario Odyssey, you can play as a piece of meat, a taxi, and a pole but not an enemy who has appeared in practically every Mario game to date.
It's not even like a moveset would be hard to think of, remember the blue shell power-up from New Super Mario Bros.? Just do that in 3D. Mario as a Koopa Troopa would be able to go into his shell and dart forward at incredible speeds.
Besides that, a Koopa Troopa Mario would be able to go into his shell and go faster underwater.
There are also a few iconic variants of Koopa Troopas which would be equally as cool to capture such as Koopa Paratroopas which are flying versions of Koopa Troopas. Koopa Paratroopas are almost in the original game in the form of Parabones which are skeleton versions of the enemy.
Imagine not getting into a game but a dead version of you does.
