First Game: Super Mario 64

Koopa the Quick who first appeared in Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64. He appears in the first level, Bob-omb Battlefield where he challenges Mario to a race at the top of the mountain where King Bob-omb once reigned. Later on in the game, he'll challange you again on Tall, Tall Mountain. This race is more challanging. Each time you win, Koopa the Quick will give you a power star as he promised.

He also appeared in the sequel, Super Mario 64 DS, where he would only race Mario. If another character came up to him, he would ask for Mario. A player who has not yet unlocked Mario could go and find his hat, go back, and then race him.

Il Piantissimo plays a similar role in Super Mario Sunshine. In the game, he will challenge Mario multiple times to race him.
