Green Shells | Green Shells make their first appearance with a notable behavior difference in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. However, instead of the Koopa Troopa retracting back into its shell, it will slide out of its shell, becoming a [[Beach Koopa|Koopa without a Shell]]. If the Koopa without a Shell finds its shell again, it will go back inside it. Green Shells do not give [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] who eat them any additional abilities, unlike the other shells. | ||
Once [[Fall]] is unlocked by beating [[Funky (level)|Funky]] in the original game, or by [[Completion|clearing all 96 exits]] in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', all Green Shells become green-colored Mario masks but otherwise function the same; many instances of Green Shells and Koopa Troopas are also replaced with [[Yellow Shell]]s and Yellow Mask Koopas, though green variants of each can still be found. | Once [[Fall]] is unlocked by beating [[Funky (level)|Funky]] in the original game, or by [[Completion|clearing all 96 exits]] in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', all Green Shells become green-colored Mario masks but otherwise function the same; many instances of Green Shells and Koopa Troopas are also replaced with [[Yellow Shell]]s and Yellow Mask Koopas, though green variants of each can still be found. | ||

Mario can throw the shell by spinning in a straight direction until it hits another object. Similar to in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, the Green Shell moves in a straight line, and keeps going even if the Green Shell is thrown off the edge of a planet. | ||

In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, Green Shells appear as projectile weapons. Racers can shoot Green Shells forward in a straight line to hit opponents. Unlike the Red Shell, the Green Shell is able to rebound from walls. After ricocheting several times, the Green Shell automatically disappears.

Computer-controlled opponents do not receive this item in the game, their items being relegated to Bananas, Boos, [[Fake Item Box|Fake Item]]s, [[Super Star]]s, and [[Lightning|Thunderbolt]]s. When a player is hit by a Green Shell, they flip multiple times for roughly two seconds before stopping. This crash effect also affects the computer-controlled players whilst offscreen, whereas a computer opponent being hit with a [[Red Shell]], a Fake Item, a Star, or a [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]] (the latter being only on [[N64 Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]]) offscreen simply makes the computer-controlled player stop and continue to move immediately afterwards in the form of a cheat. | ||
An alternate item called the Triple Green Shell also debuts in ''Mario Kart 64''. When this item is activated, three shells form a circular barrier around the player's kart in a similar way to the balloons in [[Battle Mode]] in the previous game, and the shells can be used to guard against items and projectiles, as well as turning the kart into a battering ram against other karts. Unlike the single Green Shell, however, these shells cannot be fired backwards and are slightly harder to aim as they are constantly rotating around the kart. | An alternate item called the Triple Green Shell also debuts in ''Mario Kart 64''.

If the player hits the ball after receiving the item, three green shells are fired at the same time towards the opponent's side of the court to stumble them so that they cannot receive the incoming ball. Just like in other games, green shells go in straight lines, but if they cannot hit any target on their way, they simply disappear after being used. In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', tennis gear is designed based on this item, and available for [[Mii]]s to use. | ||

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the Green Shell is a [[Bros. Item]] that is used as a weapon against enemies. At least two bros. are required to use the item. When the item is chosen, one of the brothers will kick the Shell towards the foe. It will then bounce off the enemy, cause damage, and come to the other player. After each kick, the shell starts moving faster along the ground. The brothers can then repeat this until the player misses a kick, the enemy is defeated, or sixteen successful hits are dealt; in any one of these cases, the Green Shell disappears. When the adult and baby Mario brothers fight together, the babies can sit over the shell and spin upon pressing the corresponding button the babies use, causing extra damage to the foe. | |||

[[File:MLBiS Green Shell.png|thumb|left|How to use the Green Shell in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'']] | |||
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Nintendo 3DS version]], the Green Shell is a [[Bros. Attack]] for Mario and Luigi. To use it, the player must get all the [[Trash Pit]] [[Attack Pieces]]. This is the first Bros. Attack the brothers get, as well as one of the few mandatory ones. It is used exactly as in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', but lacks the baby-button command. Unlike the previous game, the shell moves faster as it gets kicked and slows down slightly after it ricochets from the enemy, though the returning speed of the shell still increases after each kick. This shell will continue to attack even if the first target was defeated, just like the [[Red Shell]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', and will break after ten hits. It costs three SP to use this attack. | |||
In the remake, the number of hits has been reduced to six, and the finishing attack is similar to that of the 3D Green Shell in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' and the [[Red Shell#Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|3D Red Shell]] in that game and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. | |||
Among a series of images in the game's credits showing a battle between the brothers and Bowser, one displays the pair using this attack. | |||

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''==== | |||
[[File:MLDT3DGreenShell.png|thumb|left|Mario and Luigi performing the 3D Green Shell Bros. Attack]] | |||
The Green Shell reappears as the first of Luigi's [[Bros. Attack]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', under the name '''3D Green Shell''' and like the [[3D Red Shell]], it costs 4 [[Bros. Point|BP]] to be used. The Attack Pieces to obtain the 3D Green Shell are found in Mushrise Park, which are given to Luigi after Mario and Luigi free [[Brickle]] from the fountain. It can only target enemies on the ground. Unlike its [[3D Red Shell|counterpart]] used by Mario, the 3D Green Shell hits enemies more randomly and Luigi initiates and ends the attack. | |||
Upon using the attack, Mario and Luigi will both run into the foreground, where Luigi will take out a Green Shell and kick it at one of the enemies. Mario will kick the Green Shell back at the enemies after it rebounds off the enemy towards him, and Luigi will do the same, this repeating three more times. After the Green Shell hits nine times, Mario will then kick the Green Shell towards Luigi, who blasts it at one of the enemies, ending the attack. If all enemies are defeated before the attack ends during it, the attack will end prematurely at that point, rendering it impossible to get an "Excellent!!" rating. | |||
Striking three, five, nine and ten times with the Green Shell yields an "OK", "Good!", "Great!!" and "Excellent!!" rating respectively. | |||

Green Shells, as well as [[Giant Green Shell]]s, appear as offensive power-ups in the ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. In these games, they are normally collected in groups of three. Once used, they are fired out in the direction the soccer player is facing. The Green Shell then trips up any opponent it hits on the ground, thus halting their movements for a small period of time. The shells, unlike the [[Red Shell]]s, do not home in on a target, but instead move in one straight path until the shell hits a wall, which makes them bounce back, or hits a player, which destroys the shell. The aforementioned Giant Green Shells cover a wider range than the regular Green Shell. They are useful for clearing room for a [[Super Strike]] or [[Mega Strike]]. | Green Shells, as well as [[Giant Green Shell]]s, appear as offensive power-ups in the ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''.

| | |desc=The green shell of the Koopa Troopas. The launching power of this weapon is incredible in the right hands, but you should be careful; if it hits a wall, it may bounce back toward whoever threw it. If you see it coming back at you, just jump on it to stop it. It's like playing Super Mario Bros.! | ||
| | |desc2=You might have noticed these shells look a lot like the ones Koopas have. Throw, attack or jump on one to send it careening off, launching enemies and causing chaos as it goes. Then jump on it to bring it to a stop, or let it rebound off a wall, or... Hold on! What is this? Super Mario Bros.? | ||
