Jr. Troopa Is Not A NokoNoko But A Kuppa

So in a previous post I hypothesized that Jr. Troopa could be a Magikoopa due to his ability to wield magic. Then I wondered if his Japanese name would give any indication to this. Turns out his Japanese name was not Kamekku or any variation of it. Nor was it Kokamekku, or even NokoNoko. Instead his Japanese name was Kowappa aka Brat Bowser.

This would mean he is actually a Kuppa, a species of turtle in the Mario World that I have talked about before. This would also explain why he seems to have access to magic so easily, since it seems to be something reserved for the Kuppas/Bowsers and Magikoopas.
