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 [[DEF-Up|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 [[Kiss Thief|stolen]] from [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s. [[Plenn T.]]'s trouble, [[Help me restock!]], is completed by bringing him five Courage Shells.

In ''Super Paper Mario'', it reduces damage players take by half. To make it more effective, players have to play a [[Minigame]] similar to [[Koops]]' [[Shell Shield]]. The effect can last anywhere from 25 to 40 seconds. In this game, if one were to give a [[Shell Shock (item)|Shell Shock]] to [[Saffron]], she would bake a Courage Shell. However, if one gives the Courage Shell to [[Saffron]], she will bake a [[Mistake]]. Various enemies can also drop Courage Shells.
