'''Red Shells''' are red [[Koopa Troopa]] shells that frequently appear in various ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games. They are the second most common [[shell]], after [[Green Shell]]s.
'''Red Shells''' (also formatted as '''red shells''') are red [[Koopa Shell]]s that frequently appear in various games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Unlike [[Green Shell]]s, they often home in on targets when thrown.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
[[File:SMB Redshell.png|frame|left]]
The Red Shell's first appearance was in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are worn by Koopa Troopas. Red-shelled Koopa Troopas first appear in [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-3]]; unlike the green-shelled Koopa Troopas, they do not fall off cliffs and simply turn around when reaching a ledge. Red Shells act in the same manner as Green Shells once kicked - they slide across the ground, defeating any enemies in their path until they are jumped on, travel far enough off-screen or fall down a pit. The player will take damage if they are hit by the moving shell.
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', Red Shells retain their previous behaviors.
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:Red Shell SMB2 Sprite.png|frame|left]]
'''Turtle Shells''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 1, page 9.</ref> also named '''shells'''<ref>''Super Mario All-Stars'' instruction booklet, page 20.</ref> or '''Koopa Shells''',<ref>NES Game Atlas Nintendo Player's Guide, page 12.</ref> are the only type of shells found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they replace the {{wp|blackface}} head-like objects known as "Big Face" (ビッグフェイス<ref>''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' instruction booklet, page 24.</ref>) from ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]''. They are plucked from the [[grass]] and can be thrown - the Shell will slide forward, defeating most enemies it hits, until it makes contact with a wall and disappears. With some difficulty, it is possible to actually get on top of the shells and ride them. These shells cannot hurt Mario and his gang in this game.
In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', Shells function more akin to how they do in standard Mario games, as they now rebound off walls instead of disappearing and can now hurt the player if they touch the shell's sides. A [[heart]] also appears for each enemy it defeats. It is also larger and so takes extra time to pluck it out of the ground.
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Red Shells returned in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They function the same as in ''Super Mario Bros.'', but can now be carried and thrown, rather than just kicked. ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' also introduces [[Giant Red Shell]]s, worn by Red [[Giant Koopa]]s.
====''Super Mario World''====
====''Super Mario World''====
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if [[Yoshi]] eats a Red Shell, he will spit out a trio of fireballs instead of the shell; a [[Yoshi (species)|Red Yoshi]] can use this ability from any shell color. Also, all Koopa shells can appear by themselves, including the Red Shell; stomping a red Koopa Troopa out of its shell renders it a red [[Beach Koopa|Koopa without a Shell]]. A red or green Koopa without a Shell that enters a Red Shell becomes a red Koopa Troopa.
''[[Super Mario World]]'' is the first game to give Red Shells' properties different from those of other shell colors. If [[Yoshi]] eats a Red Shell, he will spit out a trio of fireballs instead of the shell; a [[Yoshi (species)|Red Yoshi]] can use this ability from any shell color. Also, all Koopa shells can appear by themselves, including the Red Shell; stomping a red Koopa Troopa out of its shell renders it a red [[Beach Koopa|Koopa without a Shell]]. A red or green Koopa without a Shell that enters a Red Shell becomes a red Koopa Troopa.


Once [[Fall]] is unlocked by beating [[Funky (level)|Funky]] in the original game, or by [[Completion|clearing all 96 exits]] in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', all Red Shells become red-colored Mario masks but otherwise function the same; many instances of Red Shells and Koopa Troopas are also replaced with [[Blue Shell]]s and Blue Mask Koopas, though red variants of each can still be found.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Red Shells appear once again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''; as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', they can be carried and kicked around as usual after stomping the Red Koopa Troopa into retreating inside it.


====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
Red Shells reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' as an offensive weapon. Like the Green Shells in the game, Mario can only hold the Red Shell, not ride it. If Mario throws a Red Shell near an enemy, it will home in on that enemy until it hits something. Underwater, it allows Mario to swim faster and with greater ease, and can also be thrown at underwater creatures to home in on them as well. [[Gold Shell]]s also appear in this game, and act like Red Shells when thrown.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Red Shells reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where they act the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros.''
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Red Shells reappear again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they retain their behavior from the previous game. If the player runs through a [[Gold Ring]] with a Red Koopa Troopa nearby, they will turn Golden; stomping them into their shell and kicking or throwing it produces a trail of [[coin]]s behind the shell.
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Red Shells appear again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', where they retain their behavior from previous entries. Giant Red Shells also reappear.
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its Nintendo Switch port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', the standard green Koopa Shell turns red when Mario is inside it. Actual Red Shells appear in the second [[Boom Boom]] battle, where Boom Boom summons them to attack Mario and company while he uses his spin attack.
====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
Red Shells appear again in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', retaining their behavior from previous entries. Yoshi can carry them by tongue and by arms.
===''Yoshi'' franchise===
====''Yoshi'' (NES)====
[[File:YoshiNES-RedShell-BType.png|frame|right]]
A Red Shell makes a small appearance in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] version of ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' after the player clears level 4 of the B-Type game, rewarding the player 400 points.
====''Yoshi's Island'' series====
The first game of the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]] where Red Shells appear in is ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', as well as its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]], and return in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. In all three games, Red Shells are worn by Red Koopa Troopas. Yoshi can stomp the Koopas out of their shell and then use his tongue to grab it and spit it out; it behaves as it does in games of the ''Super Mario'' series, but cannot be eaten to make eggs.

Brawl]]'' and [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and will retreat into their shells if hit enough; however, their shells function the same as Green Shells when thrown.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Red Shells (known as [[Shiny Shell]]s) appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' as the shiny variant of Green Shells. Also, every [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] in the game has a Red Shell on its back.
===''Mario Party'' series===
Red Shells make a few appearances in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', they appear the minigame [[Ridiculous Relay]], where first player in the group rows it using an oar. In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', Red Shells appear in the [[Goomba Bowling]] minigame, where players must throw them at the [[Goomba]]s.

The '''3D Red Shell''' returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', functioning the same as it did in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''. However, the move is now available from the beginning of the game, costs 3 BP instead of 4, and deals considerably more damages at the cost of being shortened to six hits. The speed of both the shell and the Bros. moving forward is also increased.

Striking one, three, five and six times with the Red Shell will yield an "OK!", "Good!", "Great!" and "Excellent!" rating respectively.

In ''[[Monopoly Gamer]]'', a Red Shell face is on the "Power-Up Die". A player who rolls the Red Shell normally can force any other player on the board to drop three Coins on their current space, which can be picked up by the next player who passes over or lands on that space. Some characters have a "Power-Up Boost" that enhances or changes this power.
