A Courage Shell is an item found in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Using one can boost Mario's or his partner's Defense by 3 points for two turns. Courage Shells can be bought in Petalburg and can also be stolen from Paratroopas. They can also be cooked up by Zess T. by cooking up a Mr. Softener and Point Swap together.
In Super Paper Mario, it reduced damage players took by half. To make it more effective, players had to play a Mini-Game similar to Koops' Shell Shield.
Interestingly, the name "Courage Shell" applied earlier to a piece of armor available to Bowser in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. In this game, the Courage Shell could be bought in Monstro Town and was one of many "shell" armors that Bowser could buy and wear.
