Well, we should include everything for both Bowser and Eggman so it feels both sides are at their full potential. I know it says "Koopa Troop" but I don't want either to feel cheated. Anyway, the Eggman Empire outclasses Bowser's army by far. Metal Overlord would take out most, if not all, of Bowser's minions. And that's increased further by the firepower he has by his side like Mecha and Silver Sonic and the E series. Some of Bowser's strongest minions are Bowser Jr, the Koopalings and the Magikoopas who all pale in comparison to Eggman's strongest such as the robot Sonics and Knuckles along with the E series.

When it comes to sheer stats:

Strength-The Empire. Why? Because little to none of Bowser's minions have many strength feats while Metal Sonic alone is pretty powerful.

Speed-Eggman's bots blitz Bowser's minions into the ground. A lot of his bots are designed to keep up with The Blue Blur while Bowser's goons are pretty slow and more often than not easily outmaneuvered by the Italian plumber.

Durability-Eggman again. His bots can take repeated punishment from Sonic while Bowser's minions are easily dispatched of by Mario. I know Mario's stronger than Sonic and all, but that doesn't change that the Eggman Empire has better feats in that aspect.

Numbers-Tie.

Intelligence-Eggman Empire. Except for some loose ends, his bots are a lot smarter than Bowser's goons.

Weaponry-Bowser has cannons and blunt weapons. Eggman has tons of lasers and destructive blasts. Do the math.

Hax-Tie.

However, when it comes to Bowser vs Eggman, Eggman is screwed. No mech or weapon he pilots can outdo Bowser's physicality and none of Eggman's bots can take him down. Even Metal Overlord falls to Bowser. So when Bowser joins the battle alongside his minions, the outcome completely switches. It doesn't help that Bowser's weaker minions are much tougher than Eggman's weaker bots. And Bowser's stronger minions are more than capable of holding their own long enough to reduce the numbers of Eggman's Empire, allowing him to destroy the doctor.
