Shell Toss is a move used by characters with shells in the Paper Mario series. Various Koopa Troopas and Buzzy Beetles, including Mario's party members Kooper and Koops, use Shell Toss by going inside their shells and launching themselves at enemies in battle. This attack can hit only the frontmost enemy on the ground, but it does not take contact damage from things such as fire and electrification. For Kooper and Koops at normal rank, the attack does one damage without the Action Command and two with it; this changes to two or three damage at Super Rank and three or five at Ultra Rank. The Action Command for Shell Toss differs slightly depending on which Koopa is using it, but both involve releasing Control Stick at the right time. Also, Koops's version includes Stylish moves.

Kooper and Koops can also be launched by Mario out of battle, which can be used to grab faraway items, activate switches, or do a First Strike on an enemy. A First Strike with Kooper always fails the Action Command, while a First Strike with Koops always succeeds.

In the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Koopley mentions wanting to teach Shell Toss to Koops, only to learn that Koops already knows it. This differs from the original game, where Koopley wants to teach Koops Power Shell instead.

In Paper Mario: The Origami King , Shell Toss, referred to as Shell Shot, is a move that can be used by Koopa Troopas, Buzzy Beetles, Spinies, and Spike Tops.
