'''Yellow Shells''' are one of the rare colored variants of the [[Koopa Shell]], appearing in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Upon the player [[jump]]ing on a yellow-shelled [[Koopa Troopa]], it loses its shell and a [[coin]] pops out from it. Standalone yellow shells also appear in some [[level]]s. Like other Koopa Troopa shells, the Yellow Shell can be launched when the Koopa Troopa wearing it is jumped on and removed from its shell. It can also be held and [[Shell Toss|thrown]]. If a yellow [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|Koopa without a Shell]] goes inside one, it becomes a [[Shell (flashing)|flashing Shell]] and chases the player. When [[Yoshi]] eats a Yellow Shell, he gains an ability to create [[sand cloud]]s on either side of himself to defeat nearby grounded enemies for a limited time, at the end of which he [[swallow]]s the shell (although a [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] can gain the ability to create sand clouds by eating a shell of any color). Yoshis can also spit the shell back out, in which case it behaves like a [[Green Shell]], flying out at high speed and defeating enemies in its way. If the player attempts to launch the shell at a blue Koopa without a Shell, it stops the shell and kicks it back at the player. If a green or red Koopa without a Shell comes in contact with the Yellow Shell (or kicks it right-side up if upside down), it then jumps in it and becomes that colored Koopa.
'''Yellow Shells''' are one of the colored variants of the [[Koopa Troopa]] [[shell]], first appearing in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

==History==
After the player completes the [[Special Zone]], or finds all exits in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', like with all Koopa Troopas and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, the yellow variants become Mask Koopas, with their respective shells becoming yellow-capped masks that vaguely resemble [[Mario]]. Yellow Mask Koopas also replace the regular green Koopa Troopas (not including green [[Climbing Koopa]]s), while the yellow masks replace the standalone Green Shells.
===''Super Mario World''===
''Super Mario World'' is one of the few games where Yellow Shells are actually worn by Koopa Troopas. Upon jumping on a yellow-shelled Koopa Troopa, it loses its shell and a [[coin]] pops out from it. Standalone yellow shells also appear in some levels. Like other Koopa Troopa [[shell]]s, the Yellow Shell can be launched when the Koopa Troopa wearing it is jumped on and removed from its shell. It can also be held and [[Shell Toss|thrown]]. If a [[Beach Koopa]] goes inside of one, it becomes a [[Shell (flashing)|flashing shell]] and chases after the player. When [[Yoshi]] lands with a Yellow Shell in his mouth, he can create [[sand cloud]]s on either side of himself while he has the shell in his mouth or before he is about to swallow it, which defeats nearby grounded enemies. ([[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] can use this ability from any shell color.) Yoshis can also spit the shell back out, in which case it will behave like a [[Green Shell]], flying out at high speed and knocking over all enemies in its way. If the player attempts to launch the shell back at a blue [[Beach Koopa]], it will grab and kick it back at the player.


==Profiles and statistics==
After the player completes the [[Special Zone]], or find all exits in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', like with all Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas, the yellow variants become Mask Koopas, with their respective shells becoming yellow-capped masks that vaguely resemble Mario.

===''Yoshi's Safari''===
''A strange kind of shell that tastes like chankonabe. It contains a large amount of sekitori extract, so if you eat this wonder, you'll gain weight. That is, you can use the yellow-colored Yoshi's skill.''
In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', when yellow-shelled [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s are defeated, they retreat in their shell and disappear.
 
===''Mario's Time Machine''===
Yellow Shells also appear in ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], replacing the common green-shelled Koopa Troopas. Unlike in ''Super Mario World'', jumping on one does not release the Koopa out of its shell and instead causes it to retreat to their shells, and they can only be kicked to launch, knocking over all enemies in its way. [[Bodyslam Koopa]]s also wear Yellow Shells, but jumping on them instantly defeats them.
 
Getting hit by the shell simply stuns Mario temporarily, rather than damaging him.
 
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Yellow Ninjakoopa retreats into his Yellow Shell when he is stacked with the other [[Koopa Bros.]] to use the whirling tower attack or when he [[Shell Toss]]es at Mario separately.
 
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door''====
In the [[Glitz Pit]] (Chapter 3) of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', the [[KP Koopas]], which consists of a [[KP Paratroopa]] and two [[KP Koopa]]s, including the team's leader, [[KP Pete]], use their Yellow Shells to attack Mario and his [[partner]]s during battle. They are simply Koopa Troopas with their shells dyed yellow (gold in the French and Italian releases).
 
===''Mario Bros.''===
[[File:YellowShellMarioBrosGBA.png|frame|left]]
Yellow Shells (simply referred to as '''Koopa Shells''') appear in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' included with the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]] and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They are a random item a player can find from within a [[Bin|garbage can]]. Once they are thrown, they slide across the ground, damaging any player or defeating any enemy it touches. They can also slide into the bottom [[Warp Pipe]]s and will launch from the other Warp Pipe above. Standalone Yellow Shells are sometimes randomly launched from the Warp Pipes above.
 
===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party Advance''====
Yellow Shells make their ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' debut in the ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' [[minigame]] [[Shell Stack]]. They appear after a few Green Shells have been launched; once the small [[Pipe Cannon]]s turn yellow, one of them from left or right shoots out a Yellow Shell, which is slightly faster than the Green Shell.
 
====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
[[File:Tanks a Lot.png|thumb|right|[[Toad]] riding in a yellow-shelled tank]]
In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', the minigame [[Tanks a Lot]] has the fourth player riding in a Yellow Shell-like tank.
 
====''Mario Party: The Top 100''====
[[File:Top100ShellShocked.png|thumb|left|[[Wario]] riding in a yellow-shelled tank]]
In ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', the returning ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' minigame [[Shell Shocked]] also has the fourth player riding in a Yellow Shell-like tank. This is the only shell color that did not appear in the original ''Mario Party 2'' minigame.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
In ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', Yellow Koopa Troopas, Koopa Paratroopas, and their [[Big Koopa Troopa|larger]] [[Colossal Paratroopa|relatives]] use their shells to attack the player.
 
===''Dr. Mario World''===
Yellow Shells reappear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as one of the colored shells that appears as a stage item in the game. They clear a row when they are matched with the corresponding [[Megavitamin]]s.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*According to the Japanese Shogakukan guide for the game ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'', Yellow Shells from ''Super Mario World'' taste like {{wp|chankonabe}} and contain a lot of {{wp|sekitori}} extract, promoting weight gain.<ref name=Sho>{{cite|title=「任天堂公式ガイドブック　ヨッシーのたまご」 (''Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook – Yoshi's Egg'')|page=[[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan 61.jpg|61]]|language=ja|publisher=[[Shogakukan]]}}</ref>

*In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'' (NEC PC-8801), Green Koopa Troopas have yellow shells due to palette limitations.
