Shell Shock (item)
From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
A Shell Shock is an item in Super Paper Mario. It rams into enemies when the player kicks the shell. Using one activates a minigame where the shell bounces around the screen, and the player must press A while hovering over it with a crosshair. If the player succeeds, the shell grows to almost three times it's original size, but if the player fails, it stays small.
If the player gives this item to Saffron to cook, she will make a Courage Shell.
Trivia
- The Shell Shock item is actually an 8-bit sprite of a Green Koopa's shell from the game, Super Mario Bros.
- Much like the Shellshockers, Shell Shock shares its name with a term for the state of being constantly frightened by loud noises due to past bad experiences with loud weapons.
