So we're saying Koopa is a concept because he's a common enemy. Should there be a separate character page for the Koopa that's a playable character in all the Mario Sports games?

I was wondering about that too. 

What do you do when a character is also a species?

Koopa is not an individual it's a group and therefore a concept. Koops from Paper Mario: T would be a good example of a koopa who would be considered a character.

yeah as a race the koopa is a concept like goomba should be but for some reason it has its own character page

Yeah, I saw that goomba had a character page and it threw me off.  A races or species section would be good.

That's an example, but what I was saying was do we consider the Koopa from the Mario Sports games a character or just a concept. He's a member of the Koopa race, but is a playable character. You can also generally play as Red Koopa or Green Koopa.

That's a really good point, now I have way more info to hurt my head.

It sounds very trippy if you think about "How do I define the koopa.... as a concept...?" or maybe I'm just tired. ;)

What about the Koopa that you race in Super Mario 64? I mean that is a real character that you interacted with, it just a very complex thing when an entire species looks and is named the same kinda like the couches in Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

Looks like this has been resolved? A Koopa character page has been approved.
