Battle of the recurring Mario RPG villains (1-0-0)

[The_Almighty_Wholesome]

Popple vs Jr. Troopa

These two incompetent villains are recurring villains in these Mario games with multiple recurring battles (Popple in Superstar Saga + Dream Team and Jr. in Paper Mario) So they’re going to duke it out

Rules:
-Both are 6-C
-Speed is equalized
-Both have all equipment and at their prime
-Battle takes place on Moo Moo Farms from Mario Kart

Oh, sure, you guys are real tough, teaming up on me! Don't think you can beat me just 'cause I'm alone. It's my solo debut on the battle lines, see?: 1

Look at that piece of work! I've been taking a little magic course on the side! And now, you're gonna be my final exam! Yeah! I've gotta win this time!:

O’Chunks (another recurring villain in Super Paper Mario) destroys them both/Incon:

So Popple can probably yank Jr. Troopa's wand off him and use it for himself which would give him a pretty big advantage.

Yup, he can also range him out by throwing hammers (as shown in M+L SS + Bowsers Minions) and other projectiles if Jr. Troopa decides to fly.

I'd go with Popple.

He can poison Troopa and underground mobility makes him basically able to avoid anything serious Troopa could do. And as discussed before, the wand that gives Troopa most of his offensive stuff can just be taken away from him.

Might vote for popple hmm

Question: Does Jr. Troopa have his wand present at the start?

In the final battle against him, he starts in his "base" form ("Base" in so far as it resembles how he was in the first battle.), but IIRC, the staff only becomes present after he Transforms.

Can he conjure his staff by transforming? Is it present before he takes his magic using form?

No, as you’ve stated in his final battle it only becomes present if he transforms/conjures it so it would be when he sees fit to transform or if he take a proper amount of damage. And since we’re using the prime versions of the characters and be faithful to what they do in their respective games. However Popple is a much more experienced melee fighter so Jr. Troopa might find trouble there.
