It’s important that all of us, despite our personal beliefs and political affiliations, show support and gratitude for the men and women currently serving our country. According to the Support our Troopas t-shirt, it is also important that we show support and gratitude for the koopa troopas from the Super Mario Brothers franchise. I’m not really sure why koopa troopas deserve this, but surely to abstain would be considered severely unAmerican.
This shirt by Split Reason features an ostensibly stomped red koopa troopa, in that we see the shell but not its big-eyed reptilian occupant. Underneath this, the phrase “Support our troopas” appears in white stencil font with a few red stars thrown in as a patriotic kicker.
It’s an obvious play on the ubiquitous “Support our troops” refrain. Troops, troopas — the joke is too good to pass up. One imagines this shirt as particularly apropos for military-minded individuals who also enjoy playing any of the Mario Bros. video game series titles. It also fosters a sense of clemency. Koopa troopas are often portrayed as malevolent warmongers of the King Koopa regime when in reality they are only pawns in Bowser’s game.
