Shell Shot

Not to be confused with Shell Shot!

This article is about the move used by Parakarry in Paper Mario . For the move referred to as "Shell Shot" in Paper Mario: The Origami King , see Shell Toss.

Shell Shot is one of the default moves available to Parakarry, in Paper Mario and can be performed at the cost of 3 FP. Shell Shot can be used against any foe, regardless of location.

The Action Command for Shell Shot requires the player to tilt the Control Stick to the left, and release it when the targeting cursor is lined up with the enemy, similar to Yoshi's egg toss in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its sequel. If the player releases the stick at the wrong time, the attack will miss completely. Every enemy has a unique hitbox used for this attack as well as for Spiny Flip.

In Paper Mario: The Origami King , Shell Shot can be used by various shelled enemies: Koopa Troopas, Spinies, and Spike Tops. There are also stronger group variants called Group Shell Shot and Stacked Shell Shot, the latter exclusive to Buzzy Beetles. Koopa Troopas do 4-6 damage, Spinies do 7 damage, Buzzy Beetles do 8 damage, and Spike Tops do 17 damage. Koopa Paratroopas use a move called Flyin' Shell Shot that deals 10-13 damage.
