A '''Courage Shell''' is an item found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. 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 [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]s. 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 [[player]]s took by half. To make it more effective, players had to play a Mini-Game similar to [[Koops]]' [[Shell Shield]]. If the timing is correct (meaning that the player hits 'red'), the effect will last about 40 seconds. In this game, if one gave a [[Shell Shock]] to [[Saffron]] the cook, she would bake a Courage Shell. However, if one gives the Courage Shell to [[Saffron]], she will bake a [[Mistake]].

Interestingly, the name "Courage Shell" applied earlier to a piece of [[Armor (SMRPG)|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.
