[[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. | [[File:Shellcrepper.png|right|200px|thumb|A Shellcreeper.]]'''[[supermariowiki: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.

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. | 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.
