More about Mechakoopa...
Games: Super Mario World, Yoshi's Safari, New Super Mario Bros.
 
So, when someone first designed these wind-up robots, was it really necessary to make them look completely insane?  Ludwig generally gets credit for inventing, you know, anything, but I think Iggy is more likely in this case.  Or Lemmy maybe, creating them in his own image.  Though they have one of them spinny things on their backs, they've never been seen to run out of power.  In fact, they're actually one of the more resilient foes.  They're immune to fireballs, while getting stomped will cause them to be knocked out for a while before returning to action.  That's a little like Dry Bones but with one difference - Mario can pick them up while they're down.  That's a big deal because after Bowser would throw some of these out of his Clown Copter at the end of Mario World, Mario kept throwing these at the Koopa tyrant, knocking him right on the noggin.  Mechakoopa could just as well have been scrapped at that point but he's managed to stick around a bit.  Just try looking into those eyes and staying mad.

In his only appearances in Roy's Sports Hall, Mechakoopa was defeated in Seasons Two and Nine.
