It is created when a yellow [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|Koopa without a Shell]] climbs into an empty shell of any color (including its own, after being ejected from it). After its transformation, the shell attempts to hit [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] by spinning around and dashing towards him. It becomes impossible to separate the Koopa from it. While chasing the player, the flashing shell defeats enemies in its path; the player scores a combo in increasing [[point]] values for successive enemies defeated by a single flashing shell and [[extra life|extra lives]] starting on the eighth. It is possible to respawn the yellow Koopa without a Shell that climbed into the shell, possibly leading to it dodging its own shell. | ||

Flashing shells can be defeated only with a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] eating it, a [[Spin Jump]], [[Super Star|invincibility]], or [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]]'s Body Press. If any Yoshi eats one, the Yoshi gains all three shell abilities (causing [[sand cloud]]s, [[fly]]ing, and breathing fire) as long as the shell stays in the Yoshi's mouth. | ||
