Shuffle Shell is one of Mario's minigames in Super Mario 64 DS.

Layout

This minigame is in the exact same setting as Shell Smash, still featuring the same background music as Cool, Cool Mountain/Chief Chilly Challenge/Snowman's Land.

Gameplay

This minigame has similarities to curling, but its scoring system is like archery. The player gets five Green Shells, and they need to get them onto the target on the top screen by using the blue paddle to hit the Green Shells. Shells on the outer blue ring will score 100 points, shells on the white ring will score 300 points, shells in the center red ring will score 500 points, the white center of the target will score 1,000 points, and shells outside of the target will not score any points. The final scores on the last rounded are added up for a total score at the end, so the player needs to take note that the shells can still move if bounced against other shells.
