Shellcreepers, along with [[Sidesteppers]], make their debut in ''[[supermariowiki:Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]''. They are turtle-like enemies and are considered to be the predecessors of [[Koopa Troopa]]s, which they strongly resemble. Unlike the Koopa Troopas, however, the Shellcreepers cannot be defeated by jumping on them and will cause the player to lose a life on contact. Also, Shellcreepers can attack by biting the player.

Shellcreepers emerge from the pipes on the upper portion of the stages and move from one side to the other. They can be defeated either by being hit from below or is turned upside-down by the [[POW Block]], after which they can be kicked off-screen. If the Shellcreepers are not defeated while flipped upside down, they take their shell off, put it upright, and put it back on, after which they change color and moves faster.

Shellcreepers appear as a stage element in the [[Mario Bros.]] stage. They are enemies until they are attacked or hit by the stage's POW Block, at which they retreat into their shells and become throwable items.  
Shellcreepers appear as a stage element in the [[Mario Bros.]] stage. They are stage hazards until they are attacked or hit by the stage's POW Block, at which they retreat into their shells and become throwable items.  


Shellcreepers, like the other enemies in the stage, cause very large horizontal knockback, whether or not they are thrown. Due to the odd shape and low ceilings of the stage, throwing these enemies is the easiest way of defeating opponents, as there is not enough vertical knockback for them to [[tech]] on the ceilings. A flipped-over Shellcreeper can be eaten by [[Munchlax]].
