'''Tread Carefully''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''; in the first two, it is known as '''Shell Shocked'''. The term "shell shock" is used to describe a disturbance caused by a prolonged exposure to active warfare. The ''Mario Party Superstars'' name is a pun on the verb "tread" (meaning "to step") from the common phrase "tread carefully" and the treads of a tank.

The players attempt to knock out the rest of the players by shooting [[cannonball]]s with Koopa Tanks, tanks resembling [[Koopa Shell]]s. In ''Mario Party 2'', the Koopa Tank color depends on the character being played: red for [[Mario]], blue for [[Luigi]], pink for [[Princess Peach|Peach]], green for [[Yoshi]], purple for [[Wario]], and brown for [[Donkey Kong]]. In ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', however, the colors are instead assigned by player number: red, blue, green, and yellow (for Players 1–4, respectively). Players can also use a lob shot, generally used if a player is behind a [[Warp Pipe]]. Two cannonballs that hit each other explode upon contact. A player that gets hit with a cannonball twice becomes eliminated. In ''Mario Party 2'' and ''Superstars'', there are three randomly selected levels, which can be chosen by players in their respective free play modes.

In the [[Mini-Game Coaster]], the stage that is used is dependent on the skill level that is played: Stage 2 is used for Normal, and Stage 1 is used for Hard. This is also the final minigame, where the human player takes on a team of three [[Koopa Kid]]s, with Stage 3 being used.
