Flappy Paratroopa (NES)

You've stomped hundreds of them. Now be one. 🐢

A Koopa Paratroopa escapes World 1-1 and finds itself in a familiar nightmare: endless pipes, one-hit deaths, and the cruel pull of gravity. Flap to survive. How far can you go?

This isn't a demake or a ROM hack—it's a brand new NES game, handcrafted in 6502 assembly and playable on real hardware.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL?

Your Koopa has personality. Die and watch it retreat into its shell, peek out nervously, then waddle off-screen in shame.

• Beat your high score? Fireworks. You earned them.
• Battery-backed saves. Your best score is waiting for you next time.
• Sounds like the real deal. Crisp flap sounds, coin chimes, and a melancholy game over tune that wouldn't feel out of place in a first-party Nintendo game.
• Poke around the title screen. Not all Koopas are green...
