'''Shellshock''' is a minor character in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is a common [[Shady Koopa]] who became a contracted fighter in the [[Glitz Pit]], the martial arts arena of the floating town of [[Glitzville]]. Shellshock and his fighting team, the [[Shellshockers]], are ranked #7 in the fighting roster and thus are a part of the major-league.

Shellshock often ends his sentences with the word "baby." After Mario defeats Shellshock in battle, he begins talking about how he loses motivation when he sees how Mario is progressing.
'''Shellshock''' is the leader of the [[Shellshockers]], and a character in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Shellshock is a [[Shady Koopa]] who is fought in the Major League of the [[Glitz Pit]]. He has a similar personality to that of [[King K.]], and is shown to have some kind traits. Once Mario climbs to rank six in the' Glitz Pit, one of his adoring fans leaves him a cake which restores all [[Heart Point]]s, [[Flower Point]]s, and [[Star Power]] to the maximum.  Because of Shellshock, there is no saving it for another match. If Mario does not eat the cake as soon as it is given to him, he will discover it has already been eaten by Shellshock.  If Mario wisely refuses to eat the second cake given to Mario, he will eat it as well; after Mario and his partner return from their battle, they will find Shellshock lying on the floor in a semi-paralyzed state, moaning and groaning in utter anguish, due to cake poisoning.


==''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''==
Shellshock also plays a fairly notable role during the final battle with the [[Shadow Queen]]. A cinema showing members of the Glitz Pit giving Mario support in the battle show what appears to be Shellshock giving some encouraging words to Mario. However, it is often speculated that this Koopa was meant to be King K., but a Shady Koopa was used in place of the appropriate [[K.P. Koopa]] sprite.
[[Mario]] encounters Shellshock in the midst of [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 3: Of Glitz and Glory|Chapter Three]], while he is searching for the [[Gold Star]]. After Mario defeats the [[Armored Harriers]], Mario switches to the major-league and he and Shellshock become roommates. If Mario manages to rise his rank up to #8, the player has the opportunity to battle Shellshock's fighting team, and if he wins, his ranking goes up further.  


At some other points in Chapter Three, Mario receives two [[cake]]s that were apparently sent by a fan, one of which is a [[Poisoned Cake]]. Mario can eat the first one, which replenishes his stats. If he decides to eat the second one however, Mario's partner is disabled by [[Poison (status effect)|Poison]]. The player can also choose to ignore the cakes, which results in Shellshock eating them while Mario is away fighting. He mocks Mario how he enjoyed his meal after ignoring the first cake. When Mario returns from his match after having declined the second cake, he finds Shellshock in a disabled state, lying on the ground and squirming, probably from a stomachache. He recovers from this after Mario ends another match.
==Tattle Information==
* ''That's Shellshock. He seems to be totally on top of his game. For some reason, though, I think he's just a big softie. Maybe I'm thinking too much...''


A figure who is apparently Shellshock appears in the cutscene during the final fight against the [[Shadow Queen]], alongside other athletes. There he can be seen cheering Mario on through the Gold Star. It is, however, very likely that this character was originally supposed to be [[King K]] and his sprite was simply misplaced with that of a Shady Koopa; said character uses terms in his speech that were used exclusively by King K throughout the game (like "G-man").
