Shell block



Blue Shell Blocks are blocks that appear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Striking one allows Mario to wear a Blue Shell, which Luigi can knock around using his hammer. This block is made available when Mario and Luigi meet the Blue Paratroopas. During their travels, Mario and Luigi find a Giant Blue Shell Block and strike it, making several Blue Shell Blocks go around the Mushroom Kingdom. The Blue Paratroopas notice and begin yelling at the two. Eventually, they give the two Bros. a block to use. Mario strikes the block and a Blue Shell comes out and lands on Mario's back. After using it, the Blue Paratroopas see the Mario Bros. can use the shell quite well and teach them the proper way to execute it. Once they learn correctly, the Blue Paratroopas fly off and give the two Attack Pieces for the Yoo Who Cannon. The blocks are scattered around the over world and inside Bowser for Mario and Luigi to use.

Trivia

 * The shell that goes on Mario somewhat similar to the shells Kooper and Parakarry wear in Paper Mario, however it's probably based more on the powerup from New Super Mario Bros..
