Giant Green Shells are a recurring object in the Mario franchise. They first appear in Super Mario Bros. 3.

Description[]

Aside from being a larger size, Giant Green Shells are the same as a Green Shell. They have a Red Shell counterpart known as a Giant Red Shell.

In Super Mario series[]

Super Mario Bros. 3[]

Giant Green Shells are worn by Gargantua Koopa Troopas and Colossal Koopa Paratroopas, both of which are only encountered in Giant Land. Like regular Koopa Troopas, Mario or Luigi can jump on one of these enemies to have it retreat into its shell. Like Green Shells, Giant Green Shells can be picked up and kicked.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[]

Giant Green Shells retain their functionality from Super Mario Bros. 3, but they can now break through Hard Blocks without bouncing off.

Super Mario Maker/ Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2[]

A Giant Green Shell is once again worn by each green Gargantua Koopa Troopa, which can be created by giving a Super Mushroom to a green Koopa Troopa. Unlike earlier Super Mario installments, Giant Green Shells cannot be picked up and thrown.

In Mario Strikers series[]

Giant Green Shells are an item in Super Mario Strikers and Mario Strikers Charged. Giant Green Shells function similarly to Bowser's Shell from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in that they can be launched and slide wildly around the stage. A Giant Green Shell spins into opposing team members, squishing and stunning them temporarily, and continues to roam around temporarily before disappearing.
