===Profiles and statistics===
Shellshock appears just like a regular Shady Koopa, meaning that he looks like a [[Koopa Troopa]] with a notably darker skin tone and a light blue shell. He wears handcuffs and a neckband, both covered with spikes, and a pair of sunglasses. The shoes he wears are of a similar blue as his shell is.

He seems to have slight confidence-issues, since after Mario defeats him in battle, he begins talking about how he loses motivation when he sees how Mario is progressing. In addition, [[Goombella]] mentions that he appears like a big softie. Another side of Shellshock's personality is that he appears to be very fond of sweet things, since he cannot resist to eat Mario's cake without even asking him. Like many other characters throughout the game, Shellshock has a characteristic way of speaking, often ending his sentences with the word "baby".

Shellshock, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Shellshock is a minor character in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is a common Shady Koopa who became a contracted fighter in the Glitz Pit, the martial arts arena of the floating town of Glitzville. Shellshock and his fighting team, the Shellshockers, are ranked #7 in the fighting roster and thus are a part of the major-league.

Shellshock often ends his sentences with the word "baby." After Mario defeats Shellshock in battle, he begins talking about how he loses motivation when he sees how Mario is progressing.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

Mario encounters Shellshock in the midst of Chapter Three, while he is searching for the Gold Star. After Mario defeats the Armored Harriers, Mario switches to the major-league and he and Shellshock become roommates. If Mario manages to rise his rank up to #8, the player has the opportunity to battle Shellshock's fighting team, and if he wins, his ranking goes up further.

At some other points in Chapter Three, Mario receives two cakes that were apparently sent by a fan, one of which is a Poisoned Cake. Mario can eat the first one, which replenishes his stats. If he decides to eat the second one however, Mario's partner is disabled by Poison. The player can also choose to ignore the cakes, which results in Shellshock eating them while Mario is away fighting. He mocks Mario how he enjoyed his meal after ignoring the first cake. When Mario returns from his match after having declined the second cake, he finds Shellshock in a disabled state, lying on the ground and squirming, probably from a stomachache. He recovers from this after Mario ends another match.

A figure who is apparently Shellshock appears in the cutscene during the final fight against the Shadow Queen, alongside other athletes. There he can be seen cheering Mario on through the Gold Star. It is, however, very likely that this character was originally supposed to be King K and his sprite was simply misplaced with that of a Shady Koopa; said character uses terms in his speech that were used exclusively by King K throughout the game (like "G-man").
