[[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.
