Blue shells first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', either alone or on the back of a Koopa Troopa. As with other colors of shells, jumping on a Koopa Troopa will cause the shell to be removed, where it can then be held or [[Shell Toss|thrown]]. When [[Yoshi]] eats one, he will [[Winged Yoshi|grow wings]] and gain the ability to fly for a limited time, at the end of which he will [[swallow]] the shell. [[Yoshi (species)|Blue Yoshi]] can gain this ability by eating a shell of any color. Yoshis can also spit the shell back out, in which case it will behave like a [[Green Shell]], flying out at high speed and defeating enemies in its way. If the player attempts to launch the shell back at a blue [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|unshelled Koopa]], it will stop the shell and kick it back at the player. If a green or red unshelled Koopa comes in contact with the Blue Shell (or kicks it right-side up if upside down), it will then jump in it and become that colored Koopa.

According to the Japanese Shogakukan guide for the game ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'', Blue Shells from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' are filled with refreshing mints and have an herbal scent.<ref name=Sho>{{cite|publisher=[[Shogakukan]]|date=February 1, 1992|isbn=4-09-104196-5|title=「任天堂公式ガイドブック ヨッシーのたまご」 (''Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook – [[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi's Egg]]'')|page={{file link|Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan 61.jpg|61}}|language=ja}}</ref>

The Blue Shell appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]] as an item found in the overworld and once in the [[Energy Hold]] in Bowser's Body. By striking [[shell block]]s, Mario can go in Blue Shells and turn into Shell Mario. Luigi can then hit Mario using his [[hammer]] to make Mario retract into the shell, spinning straight forward. This can be used to hit blocks in areas that Mario and Luigi cannot directly enter. Because the shell is so heavy, Mario cannot jump while wearing it. If he attempts to jump, he tosses the shell off of his body and it disappears. This serves a similar purpose to [[Kooper]] and [[Koops]]'s field abilities in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'']] series.
