'''Shellcreepers''' ({{ja|シェルクリーパー|Sherukurīpā}}, ''Shellcreeper'') 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.'', Every time that a 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 progressively higher speeds.

In the [[Mario Bros.]] stage, Shellcreepers are enemies until attacked, 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. When they are left flipped for a bit, they'll take their shell off, put it upright, and put it back on, just like they did in the original ''Mario Bros.'' game. A flipped-over Shellcreeper can be eaten by [[Munchlax]].

As in the original game, each time a Shellcreeper is left on its back for long enough, it will get up again, will change color (green to red, red to blue), and move faster. Throwing these faster Shellcreepers at enemies will cause even more knockback, being a [[one-hit KO]] in many situations.

Shellcreepers (シェルクリーパー, Shellcreeper) are turtle-like enemies from the original Mario Bros. game and are considered to be the predecessors of Koopa Troopas, which they strongly resemble.

A Shellcreeper.

In the Mario Bros. stage, Shellcreepers are enemies until attacked, 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. When they are left flipped for a bit, they'll take their shell off, put it upright, and put it back on, just like they did in the original Mario Bros. game. A flipped-over Shellcreeper can be eaten by Munchlax.

As in the original game, each time a Shellcreeper is left on its back for long enough, it will get up again, will change color (green to red, red to blue), and move faster. Throwing these faster Shellcreepers at enemies will cause even more knockback, being a one-hit KO in many situations.

Origin

Shellcreepers as they appear in the arcade version of Mario Bros.

Shellcreepers, along with Sidesteppers, first appeared in the arcade game Mario Bros. as enemies of Mario and Luigi. They would emerge from the pipes on the upper portion of the stages and move from one side to the other. Much like their appearance in Brawl, when they are not kicked after being hit from below, they change colors and become faster.
