'''Buzzy Shells'''<ref>"Mario's Moves" from [[Yamamura's Dojo]], ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''</ref> (also called '''Buzzy Beetle Shells''' in ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'') are the [[shell]]s worn by [[Buzzy Beetle]]s. In many of their appearances, they act as a more resilient version of typical [[Koopa Shell]]s, protecting the Buzzy Beetles inside them from hot hazards such as [[fireball]]s or [[lava]]. The player character can also sometimes equip Buzzy Shells as protective headgear.
The '''Buzzy Shell'''<ref>"Mario's Moves" from [[Yamamura's Dojo]], ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''</ref> (also called '''Buzzy Beetle Shell''' in ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'') is the [[Buzzy Beetle]] equivalent of the [[shell]] worn by [[Koopa Troopa]]s. Like its counterpart, after the Buzzy Beetle retracts into its shell after being stomped on, it can be kicked to send it sliding along the ground defeating any enemy it hits. Unlike Koopa shells, however, they are fireproof.


==History==
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', the [[Flashy Shell]] sticker depicts a Buzzy Shell. When used, Mario stomps on a Buzzy Beetle, sending it into its shell, and kicks the shell to attack enemies.
===''Super Mario'' series===
In the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], Buzzy Shells act similarly to Koopa Shells. When a Buzzy Beetle is [[stomp]]ed on, it retracts into its shell, which can then be kicked and sent sliding along the ground. While sliding, it defeats any enemy it hits, changes direction when encountering a wall, and can fall off ledges. Unlike Koopa Shells, however, Buzzy Shells cannot be destroyed with [[Fire Mario]]'s fireballs. These properties are seen in all their appearances across 2D ''Super Mario'' platform games, including ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' sub-series]], and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.


The following sections detail instances in the ''Super Mario'' platform games where Buzzy Shells have additional properties to the ones so described.
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', [[Nabbit]] may take out a Buzzy Shell while battling alongside the Mario Bros. during the [[Bad Nabbit]] mission. He then imitates the [[Red Shell#Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam|3D Red Shell]] [[Bros. Attack]], with either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]].


====''Super Mario World''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the Buzzy Shell appears as an [[List of items|item]] [[Mario]] can wear on his head. It is created by shaking a Buzzy Beetle in the editor mode to make it hide inside its shell. When an empty Buzzy Shell falls onto Mario's head or he [[crouch]]es while holding it (except in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' style), he will wear the shell as a helmet, become '''Buzzy Mario''', and be able to take an extra hit. The Buzzy Shell also protects Mario from [[Spike (obstacle)|Spike Traps]] that are above his head, along with enemies attacking from above (such as [[Thwomp]]s), for as long as the player is wearing one. They make the collision sound effect when deflected. Buzzy Shells can deflect enemy attacks and defeat certain enemies instantly. When ducking as [[Small Mario]], walking enemies will bounce off Mario as if he was a wall. Buzzy Shells can allow Small Mario to break [[Brick Block]]s.
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', if a Buzzy Shell is taken into a [[Warp Pipe]], the shell becomes empty and can be held indefinitely. If [[Yoshi]] eats a Buzzy Shell, he [[swallow]]s it immediately, unlike with a Koopa Shell.


====''Super Mario Maker'' series====
The Buzzy Shells can be kicked and act similarly to any other shell that slides along the ground, meaning they can harm Mario on contact while sliding unless Mario touches one from below, in which he will wear the shell. If empty Buzzy Shells are shot out of a [[Bill Blaster]], they cannot be stomped, but Mario can ride the shell instead.
{{quote|There's no way [[Mario]] is getting through! Well, unless he figures out that he can pick up Buzzy Shells with {{button|switch|Y}} and tilt {{button|switch|stick}}↓ to wear them as helmets! BUT THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!|[[Bowser|Father of Name Withheld]]|''Super Mario Maker 2''}}

It is created by shaking a Buzzy Beetle in the editor mode to make it hide inside its shell.

The Buzzy Shell also protects Mario from [[Spike Trap]]s that are above his head, along with enemies attacking from above (such as [[Thwomp]]s), for as long as the player is wearing one. The Buzzy Shell can also knock enemies upward. They make the collision sound effect when deflected. Buzzy Shells can deflect enemy attacks and defeat certain enemies instantly. When Mario ducks as [[Small Mario]], walking enemies bounce off him as if he were a wall, though this behavior was removed in ''Super Mario Maker 2''. Buzzy Shells can allow Small Mario to break [[Brick Block]]s.

Once wearing the Buzzy Shell, Mario cannot take it off willingly unless he takes damage, or collects a [[Mystery Mushroom]]. However, a glitch does exist that allows Mario to wear the Buzzy Shell while using the [[Costume Mario]] power-up, but it can only be executed in the Course Maker. The glitch was fixed as of version 1.30. In edit mode, Mario can be shaken to remove the Buzzy Shell, as well as reverting back to Small Mario if any other power up was given to him.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
Buzzy Shells make a minor appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where they are donated by Buzzy Beetles to repair the [[Koopa Cruiser]], although [[Captain Koopa Troopa]]'s rhymes nearly cause them to be taken back.
