'''Yellow Shells''' are yellow [[Koopa Troopa]] shells found originally in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. When [[Yoshi]] hits the ground after a [[jump]] with a Yellow Shell in his mouth, a shockwave will surround him. This will cause the enemies to flip over and it will defeat all nearby grounded enemies. Yoshis can also spit it 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.

Yellow Shells are one of the rare colored variants of the Koopa Shell, appearing in Super Mario World. Upon the player 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 shells, 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 thrown. If a yellow Koopa without a Shell goes inside one, it becomes a flashing Shell and chases the player. When Yoshi eats a Yellow Shell, he gains an ability to create sand clouds on either side of himself to defeat nearby grounded enemies for a limited time, at the end of which he swallows the shell. A Yellow Yoshi can gain this ability by eating a shell of any color. Yoshis can also spit the shell back out, in which case it behaves like a Green Shell, flying out at high speed and defeating enemies in its way. If the player attempts to launch the shell at a blue Koopa without a Shell, it stops the shell and kicks it back at the player. If a green or red Koopa without a Shell comes in contact with the Yellow Shell (or kicks it right-side up if upside down), it then jumps in it and becomes that colored Koopa.

Yellow Shell

After the player completes the Special Zone, or finds 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 Koopas), while the yellow masks replace the standalone Green Shells.
