Shell Mario and Shell Luigi are the respective Mario Bros. in a shell.


In New Super Mario Bros.[]

To hide in the shell, Mario/Luigi must crouch (immovable) or dash for a certain amount of time. This power can kill most enemies, not including Whomps. If a bro uses the shell on Bowser Jr., he will be stunned for a little bit of time. While inside the shell and while running, Mario is invincible to most enemies and objects, main weakness being pits, lava, or bosses. If Shell Mario/Luigi falls into water while spinning, they start swimming. If Mario collects any other power-ups, he instantly loses the shell ability. Super Mario 3D World references this by allowing you to go into shells for a brief amount of time.
