Bowser's Minions Adore Him

So one very consistent detail about Bowser throughout the Mario series is Bowser's minions adore him.

This is seen in many games the primary ones being the Paper Mario games and Mario & Luigi games, with Bowser's minions praising their king. This is all because in spite of his defeats, Bowser is a charismatic leader who is extremely powerful, and actually does care about his minions. He even cares about the Goombas which other minions and even the Koopalings once looked down on.

In addition, to that, Bowser in Mario & Luigi: Brothership actually made sure 2 Goombas who would have been left behind not only got through the portal, but he made sure they got in before him. Moments like these show why the Koopa Troop chooses to follow him. Written by Eris the Lorekeeper

The Koopa Troop

Something that I've notice people often overlook is the sheer scale of how many members of the Koopa Troop there is, particularly in how many species their are. This is because many enemies such as Wigglers and Cheep Cheeps for example, are often not acknowledged as members of the Turtle Tribe.

So here's my list of the various species under Bowser's command, as well as individual bosses. Note this list will be updated over time. Also I won't be listing all the variants such as Paratroopas or Dry forms. I feel like that should be self-evident. I will only do that for some minions though.

Minions Koopas, Goombas, Goombas, Shy Guys, Snifits, Bros. Hammer Bros., Ant Troopers, Bullys, Spiny Tops, Buzzy Beetles, Lakitus, Spinys, Piranha Plants, Buster Beetles, Peepas, Boos, Bomb Boos, Mechakoopas, Mips, Toadies, Munchers, Nippers, Thwomps, Whomps, Mr. Is, Kleptos, Lava Bubbles, Spikes, Clubbas, Galoombas, Mr. Blizzards, Penguins, Klepto, Sumo Bros.

Ant Troopers Work For Bowser

So the Ant Troopers are minions of Bowser and members of the Turtle Tribe like many enemies that can be encounter. One way we know this is because they can be recruited by Bowser Junior in Bowser Jr.'s Journey. Written by Eris the Lorekeeper
