The '''Paratroopa Shell''' (originally known as the '''Troopa Shell''') is a weapon for [[Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. It is the empty shell of a [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] with its wings still intact. It acts exactly like a stronger version of the [[Koopa Shell]], and as such a [[Action Command|Timed Hit]] can be performed by pressing the button as Mario kicks the shell forward after he kicks it upwards. The Paratroopa Shell has an attack power of 50 points with a random variation of up to five points above and below. It can be obtained from the shop in [[Seaside Town]] once [[Speardovich]] is removed for 90 [[coin]]s. A unique variation on this shell is the [[Lazy Shell]], which has a much higher base attack power as well as a much higher variation.

While empty Paratroopa Shells do not appear in other games, Koopa Paratroopas in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series duck into their shells to attack, thus appearing as Paratroopa Shells. Additionally, one design of the [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series resembles a spiked Paratroopa Shell, despite ostensibly belonging to a [[Spiny]].
