You can stomp his wings off. Brutal.
A Paratroopa first appeared in Super Mario Bros.. Paratroopas are simply Koopa Troopas with wings and a red shell. Mario can do away with these flying turtles by first stomping them to knock their wings off, then stomping them a second time to banish them to the depths of hell from whence they came. Supposedly, the shells of a Paratroopa (red) act like heat-seeking missiles when deployed from a Kart, as seen in the Mario Kart series.
A red Paratroopa!
