'''Shellshock''' is a minor character from the game ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is a common [[Shady Koopa]] who became a contracted fighter in the [[Glitz Pit]], the martial arts arena of the floating town of [[Glitzville]]. Shellshock and his fighting team, the [[Shellshockers]], are ranked #7 in the fighting roster and thus are a part of the major-league.

Not very much is revealed about Shellshock's personality. He seems to have slight confidence-issues, since after Mario defeats him in battle, he begins talking about how he loses motivation when he sees how Mario is progressing. In addition, [[Goombella]] mentions that he appears like a big softie. Another side of Shellshock's personality is that he appears to be very fond of sweet things, since he cannot resist to eat Mario's cake without even asking him. Like many other characters throughout the game, Shellshock has a characteristic way of speaking, often ending his sentences with the word "baby".

==History==
[[Mario]] encounters Shellshock in the midst of [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 3: Of Glitz and Glory|chapter three]], while he is searching for the [[Gold Star]]. After Mario defeated the [[Armored Harriers]], Mario will switch to the major-league and he and Shellshock will become roommates. If Mario manages to rise his rank up to #8, the player will have the opportunity to battle Shellshock's fighting team, and if he wins, his ranking will go up further. 

At some other points in chapter three, Mario will receive two [[Cake|Cakes]] that were apparently sent by a fan. Mario can eat the first one, which will replenish his stats. If he decides to eat the second one however, Mario's partner will be disabled by [[Poison (status effect)|Poison]]. The player can also choose to ignore the cakes, which will result in Shellshock eating them while Mario is away fighting. He will mock Mario how he enjoyed his meal after ignoring the first cake. When Mario returns from his match against [[Chomp Country]] after having declined the second cake, he will find Shellshock in a disabled state, lying on the ground and squirming, probably from a stomach ache. He will recover from this after Mario ended another match.

A figure who is apparently Shellshock appears in the cutscene during the final fight against the [[Shadow Queen]], alongside other athletes. There he can be seen cheering Mario on through the Gold Star. It is, however, very likely that this character was originally supposed to be [[KP Pete]] and his sprite was simply misplaced with that of a Shady Koopa; said character uses terms in his speech that were used exclusively by King K throughout the game (like "G-man").

 ==Trivia==
-*Shellshock's name comes from shell shock, an outdated term for [[wikipedia:Posttraumatic stress disorder|posttraumatic stress disorder]]. Strangely, while the name of the ''Mario Party'' series minigame [[Tread Carefully (minigame)|Tread Carefully]] was changed from Shell Shocked to remove this connection, Shellshock and his team have their original names retained in the remake of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.
+*Shellshock is the only Glitz Pit fighter who has called Mario by his real name.
