Green Shell: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', there were turtle-like enemies called [[Koopa Troopa|Koopas]]. When the player jumped on a Koopa, it would hide in its shell for a short period of time. When the player kicked the shell, the shell would slide across the ground, killing whatever is in its path, including the player. It would also slide across the ground if the player jumps on the shell. When the shell hit the side of a wall or pipe, it ricocheted off and slid in the opposite direction. Koopa shells were also an item that could be pulled out of the ground and thrown at enemies in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. In ''[[supermariowiki:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the player could also pick up a Koopa shell and throw it at enemies. In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if the player jumps on a Koopa, rather than hiding in its shell, it instead gets knocked out of the shell completely; leaving the shell empty. There were also instances in ''Super Mario World'' where a player can just find an empty shell.
