Yellow Shell: Difference between revisions
There is, but it's only loaded in some levels since some levels have different sprite palettes as I hack SMW myself, otherwise green is another option, however, I'll leave it out since that trivia doesn't relate the to Koopa Troopa Shell itself anyways.
(→Trivia: Thing is, that's not a limitation, the Buzzy palette exists and would jive with his SMB3 palette. It seems to be a mistake.) |

''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.

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. Yellow Mask Koopas also replace the regular green Koopa Troopas (not including green [[Climbing Koopa]]s), while the Yellow Masks replace the stand-alone Green Shells. | |||

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. | Yellow Shells (simply referred to as '''Koopa Shells'''<ref>''Super Mario Advance'' manual, page 49</ref>) appear in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Mario Bros.
