'''Buzzy Shells'''<ref>"Mario's Moves" from [[Yamamura's Dojo]], ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''</ref> (also called '''Buzzy Beetle Shells''' in ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'') are the [[shell]]s worn by [[Buzzy Beetle]]s. In many of their appearances, they act as a more resilient version of typical [[Koopa Shell]]s, protecting the Buzzy Beetles inside them from hot hazards such as [[fireball]]s or [[lava]]. The player character can also sometimes equip Buzzy Shells as protective headgear.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
[[File:SMB3 F40A Upsidedown Buzzy Beetles Artwork.png|thumb|left|[[Mario]] runs away from a Buzzy Shell in artwork for ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'']]
In the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], Buzzy Shells act similarly to Koopa Shells. When a Buzzy Beetle is [[stomp]]ed on, it retracts into its shell, which can then be kicked and sent sliding along the ground. While sliding, it defeats any enemy it hits, changes direction when encountering a wall, and can fall off ledges. Mario will take damage if hit by the shell. Unlike Koopa Shells, however, Buzzy Shells cannot be destroyed with [[Fire Mario]]'s fireballs. If left alone for a while, the Buzzy Beetle will come out of its shell to resume walking. Unlike Koopa Troopas, which wiggle their legs, there is no indication as to when the Buzzy Beetle will emerge from its shell. These properties are seen in all their appearances across 2D ''Super Mario'' platform games, including ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' sub-series]], and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.

The following sections detail instances in the ''Super Mario'' platform games where Buzzy Shells have additional properties to the ones so described.

====''Super Mario World''====
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if a Buzzy Shell is taken into a [[Warp Pipe]], the shell can be held indefinitely and the Buzzy Beetle inside will not wake up. If [[Yoshi]] eats a Buzzy Shell, he [[swallow]]s it immediately, unlike with a Koopa Shell. A [[List of Super Mario World glitches|glitch exists]] where if the player takes a Buzzy Shell through the Warp Pipe from the first section of [[Donut Plains 2]] to the last section, it will turn brownish-gray like a [[boulder]].

====''Super Mario Maker'' series====
{{main|Buzzy Shell (helmet)}}
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the Buzzy Shell acts like it does in prior ''Super Mario'' games, with Buzzy Beetles hiding inside when stomped. New to the ''Super Mario Maker'' games is a wearable version, obtained by shaking a Buzzy Beetle. It can be equipped by Mario, granting him protection from above.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', [[Tutankoopa]] starts his battle with three Buzzy Shells, throwing one for his attacks. Once he runs out of them, he attacks solely with his magic instead.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', the [[Flashy Shell]] sticker depicts a Buzzy Shell. When it is used, [[Mario]] stomps on a Buzzy Beetle, sending it into its shell, and kicks the shell to attack enemies.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', [[Nabbit]] may take out a Buzzy Shell while battling alongside the Mario Bros. during the [[Bad Nabbit]] mission. He then imitates the [[Red Shell#Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam|3D Red Shell]] [[Bros. Attack]], with either Mario or [[Luigi]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
Buzzy Shells make a minor appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where they are donated by Buzzy Beetles to repair the [[Koopa Cruiser]], although [[Captain Koopa Troopa]]'s rhymes nearly cause them to be taken back.
