President Koopa is the main antagonist of the 1993 live-action film Super Mario Bros., which is loosely based on the Super Mario Bros. video game series. He is the tyrannical dictator of Dinohattan as well as the archenemy of Mario and Luigi.
He was portrayed by the late Dennis Hopper.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He attempts to merge the Earth's dimension with his dimension to wipe out all mammals.
- He gets his cousins and henchmen Iggy and Spike to kidnap Princess Daisy, and holds all of the other women that they have taken by mistake prisoner.
- He keeps Yoshi chained-up, and kicks him in the face while calling him a "throwback", which makes him hypocritical given how his main goal is to give his species more resources, but also has no qualms against insulting his own species.
- Not only that, but he also orders pizza with body parts from other dinosaurs, which makes him even more hypocritical.
- If any Dinohattan disagreed with him, he would de-evolve them into Goombas, which are unintelligent and animalistic creatures.
- This was demonstrated when he de-evolves a citizen named Toad into a Goomba as punishment simply for singing songs protesting his reign.
- He creates and passes nonsensical laws such as it being illegal to sing songs that insult him and another law that arrests people for being plumbers.
- When he asks Mario and Luigi about the meteorite piece, he doesn't get the answer he wants, so he orders his men to take them to the evolution chamber to be de-evolved.
- Eye-gouged Luigi when he didn't know what Koopa was talking about.
- He has a lab technician devolved into primordial ooze simply for sneezing in his presence. While this is a deleted scene, it's implied this happens in the final release, as he slips on ooze that was already there.
- Turned Daisy’s father into a formless mass of fungus.
- Orders Iggy and Spike to set off and kill or capture the Mario brothers.
- When Spike and Iggy return from their mission (having actually befriended the Mario brothers), Koopa attempts to have them executed out of anger.
- He tries to kill Mario with a flamethrower when he thinks he has the meteorite piece.
- When he, Mario, and some Goombas are sent into Brooklyn, he tries to shoot Mario with a devolution gun.
- Though Mario avoids being hit, this results in his business rival Anthony Scapelli being devolved into a chimpanzee, and Koopa shows no remorse. Scapelli is never shown to have been turned back into a human, and while he was a shady man, he didn't deserve to be turned into an ape.
- Upon being sent back to Dinohatten, he tries to kill Mario and Luigi with his flamethrower.
- He lacks most of his Video Game Counterpart's redeeming qualities, given how he's not as affable towards his henchmen, lacks any respect for the Mario Brothers even going as far as to call them "Alien Plumbers", and has no care for Daisy, as he only wants her for the meteorite piece on her necklace so he can rid the world of mammals, making him far more crueler.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He’s somewhat of a well-intentioned extremist, as his main motivation is to give his kind more resources, even if this results in the extinction of evolved mammals.
- He has some comedic moments where he isn't taken seriously, such as him ordering a pizza, him knocking down the dancing Goombas, and him saying "Monkey!" in a funny way.
Trivia[]
- Koopa is the one of the two official versions of Bowser to be Near Pure Evil, alongside his Illumination counterpart. Coincidentally, both of them are from the franchises' only two Western-made films.
