The Green Shells made their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' as the shells of the green [[Koopa Troopa]]s, and has become a recurring item in later ''Mario'' games. If a Koopa Troopa is jumped on, they retreat into their shells rather than be defeated altogether, which can be kicked as projectiles. If the shells are left out for too long, however, the Koopa Troopa can emerge out of its shell. The kicked shells can also pose a danger if they bounce off of a wall. | The Green Shells made their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' as the shells of the green [[Koopa Troopa]]s, and has become a recurring item in later ''Mario'' games.

Koopas with green shells will walk off ledges rather than turning around, a trait that is mirrored by their shell sliding off of ledges in ''Smash''. | ||
In ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' and in later games onward, if a Koopa Troopa is jumped on and retreats into its shell, it can be picked up, carried around. This, however, can be dangerous, as the Koopa Troopa can emerge out of the shell while carried and can damage the player holding the shell. | In ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' and in later games onward, if a Koopa Troopa is jumped on and retreats into its shell, it can be picked up, carried around.

When used, it allows the players to throw the Green Shell either directly in front of or behind them. While it only travels in a straight line, unlike its homing red counterpart, it is the more durable of the two; it can bounce off walls for some time before it breaks or hits an opponent. | ||
