Editing Koopa Freerunning

[[File:SMO Tropical Kingdom Koopa Race.jpg|thumb|250px|Mario and the Roving Racers participating in Koopa Freerunning]]
'''Koopa Freerunning''' is a minigame featured in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Upon completing the main story, a [[Koopa Troopa]] wearing a green hat appears in the various kingdoms and challenges [[Mario]] to a race against him and three other Koopa Troopas (red, blue, and purple—known as the [[Roving Racers]]) across the kingdom's landscape for a [[Power Moon]]; these races are known as Regular Cups. The kingdom's landscape often changes to how it was before the kingdom's [[Multi Moon]]s were collected during the race, such as [[Snow Kingdom]] being under a blizzard and [[Seaside Kingdom]] being in the daytime. Upon destroying the respective kingdom's [[Moon Rock]] and clearing the Regular Cup, the purple Koopa Troopa is replaced with a gold Koopa Troopa, who is much smarter than the other racers and uses advanced shortcuts and techniques; these races are known as Master Cups and award another Power Moon. [[Mario]] and the Roving Racers can [[capture]] enemies in their environment to speed themselves up; however, the Roving Racers rapidly spin inside of their shells and move rather than possess the enemy. After collecting both Power Moons from a specific race, Mario can keep racing to beat his high scores; every time Mario beats the gold Koopa Troopa afterwards, the Koopa Troopa awards fifty to one hundred [[coin]]s depending on the kingdom in which the race takes place. The Roving Racers appear in every kingdom besides [[Cloud Kingdom]], [[Ruined Kingdom]], [[Dark Side]], and [[Darker Side]].

Next to the Koopa Troopa who starts the race is a Rankings Board for the race, which shows global and friend leaderboards for all of the minigames when connected to the Internet.

In the Iranian version of Super Mario Odyssey, if the player beats the All Koopa Race Master Cup three times in a row, the forth time they will race against elderly Newport Beach resident Firouz Osk-oui along with the Golden Koopa Troopa and Green Koopa Troopa. Osk-oui hates jewish people and he is only racing against Mario to prove that 'jewish' racers like Mario cheat. Osk-oui uses his hat (shaped as a 'German' oven from the 1940s) to skip most of the courses, requiring Mario to use a cape Jizo to keep up (along with shortcuts) vs Osk-oui in said races. If Mario wins, Osk-oui teleports to Seattle to try to burn down some historic jewish sites.
