When the player arrives at the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]], they learn that the [[penguin]]s' [[Coach (Super Mario Galaxy)|Coach]] gave his students a "swimming test" where the students have to find shells. He states that the penguin that finds a gold shell instantly gets an ''A''. When the player dives underwater after speaking with Coach, the player sees that a penguin has already found the sole gold shell. The player must [[swim]] up to the penguin, who refuses to give up the shell. However, the player can take the gold shell from him by [[spin]]ning, allowing them to take it back to Coach, who is so impressed that he gives [[Mario]] a "gold medal" (which is actually a [[Power Star]]), only to realize Mario is not one of his students. After Mario gets the Power Star, he has to leave the gold shell behind. | When the player arrives at the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]], they learn that the [[penguin]]s' [[Coach (Super Mario Galaxy)|Coach]] gave his students a "swimming test" where the students have to find shells.

Gold Shells also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''; once again, they are rare. They only appear in [[Koopa Troopa Cave]], [[Sunshine Seaside]], and [[Coin Express]]. They function similar to the [[Coin Box|? Box]] and Gold Shells in ''New Super Mario Bros 2'': the player gains coins for [[shell dash|shell-dashing]] with these shells or throwing them; they give 30 coins before breaking. There is also no character color code for the shells. | Gold Shells also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''; once again, they are rare.

In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', Gold Shells act just like [[Black Shell]]s, but instead of being thrown normally like a [[Green Shell]], they home in on the driver in front of the player, like a [[Red Shell]], exploding upon impact. [[Triple Gold Shells]] can be unlocked and used as an item as well. | |||
