'''Shell Shocked''' is a 4-player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. The minigame reappears in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', a minigame compilation title. ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' features a similar minigame titled [[Tanks a Lot]].
'''Tread Carefully''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''; in the first two, it is known as '''Shell Shocked'''. The term "shell shock" is used to describe a disturbance caused by a prolonged exposure to active warfare. The ''Mario Party Superstars'' name is a pun on the verb "tread" (meaning "to step") from the common phrase "tread carefully" and the treads of a tank.

Gameplay[edit]

The players attempt to knock out the rest of the players by shooting cannonballs with Koopa Tanks, tanks resembling Koopa Shells. In Mario Party 2, the Koopa Tank color depends on the character being played: red for Mario, blue for Luigi, pink for Peach, green for Yoshi, purple for Wario, and brown for Donkey Kong. In Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars, however, the colors are instead assigned by player number: red, blue, green, and yellow (for Players 1–4, respectively). Players can also use a lob shot, generally used if a player is behind a Warp Pipe. Two cannonballs that hit each other explode upon contact. A player that gets hit with a cannonball twice becomes eliminated. In Mario Party 2 and Superstars, there are three randomly selected levels, which can be chosen by players in their respective free play modes.

The levels vary depending on how many Warp Pipes are placed as obstacles.

  • Stage 1: One pipe in the center.
  • Stage 2: One pipe in the center of each wall. This is the stage used in The Top 100.
  • Stage 3: One pipe in the center, with eight pipes surrounding it.

In the Mini-Game Coaster, the stage that is used is dependent on the skill level that is played: Stage 2 is used for Normal, and Stage 1 is used for Hard. This is also the final minigame, where the human player takes on a team of three Koopa Kids, with Stage 3 being used.

In Mario Party 2, if all four players are eliminated from the minigame or the time limit reaches zero, the minigame ends in a draw.
