One of the artworks from Super Mario Land depicts the Bombshell Koopa with a black shell. In the game, the shell detonates within a few secconds after the hero stomps on the Koopa. Some evidently high-ranking members of the Koopa Troop, such as the Fire Bros. from Super Mario Bros. 3, Black Ninjakoopa, and Lakithunder, are shown to wear non-exploding Black Shells. Additionally, in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Koopa Troopas, Lakitus, and Hammer Brothers were portrayed as wearing, in the episode "Mario and Joliet" showed, fire-proof Black Shells.
Trivia
- The Black Pac-Bomb in Pac-Man World Rally is similar to the Black Shell. This is the same with the Green Shell, Red Shell, and Blue Shell, which are all similar to their respective Pac-Bomb companions.
