[[File:Shellcrepper.png|right|200px|thumb|A Shellcreeper.]]'''Shellcreepers''' are turtle-like enemies from the original [[Mario (universe)#Mario Bros.|''Mario Bros.'']] game and are considered to be the predecessors of [[Koopa Troopa]]s, which they strongly resemble. As with all enemies in ''Mario Bros.'', they can only be defeated by flipping them over, either hitting the [[platform]] beneath them or using a [[POW block]], then running into them to kick them away while prone. As these game mechanics don't allow enemies to be jumped on (doing so will cost the player a [[stock|life]]), Shellcreepers tend to be replaced by [[Lakitu and Spinies|Spinies]] in modern remakes to avoid confusion amongst players familiar with Koopa Troopa behaviour in later games.

Like all the enemies in ''Mario Bros.'', if the player doesn't kick the Shellcreeper away after flipping it on its back, it will get up with a different colored shell, and start moving at high speeds. Each time it is flipped over and not defeated, it will move progressively faster.
