'''Tread Carefully''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''; in the first two, it is known as '''Shell Shocked'''. Its original name comes from {{wp|Shell shock|an archaic term}} for {{wp|post-traumatic stress disorder}}, coined in 1915 to describe the heightened and prolonged psychosomatic distress experienced by soldiers fighting in {{wp|World War I}}. Its name in ''Mario Party Superstars'', meanwhile, is a pun on the verb "tread" (meaning "to step") from the common phrase "tread carefully" and the treads of a tank.

The term "shell shock" is used to describe a disturbance caused by a prolonged exposure to active warfare. The ''Mario Party Superstars'' name is a pun on the verb "tread" (meaning "to step") from the common phrase "tread carefully" and the treads of a tank.

The players attempt to knock out the rest of the players by shooting [[cannonball]]s with Koopa Tanks, tanks resembling [[Koopa Shell]]s. In ''Mario Party 2'', the Koopa Tank color depends on the character being played: red for [[Mario]], blue for [[Luigi]], pink for [[Princess Peach|Peach]], green for [[Yoshi]], purple for [[Wario]], and brown for [[Donkey Kong]]. In ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', however, the colors are instead assigned by player number: red, blue, green, and yellow (for Players 1–4, respectively). Players can also use a lob shot, generally used if a player is behind a [[Warp Pipe]]. Two cannonballs that hit each other explode upon contact. A player who gets hit with a cannonball twice becomes eliminated. In ''Mario Party 2'' and ''Superstars'', there are three randomly selected levels, which can be chosen by players in their respective free play modes.

The levels vary depending on how many Warp Pipes are placed as obstacles.

In the [[Mini-Game Coaster]], the stage that is used is dependent on the skill level that is played: Stage 2 is used for Normal, and Stage 1 is used for Hard. This is also the final minigame, where the human player takes on a team of three [[Koopa Kid|Baby Bowser]]s, with Stage 3 being used.

In ''Mario Party 2'', if all four players are eliminated from the minigame or the time limit reaches zero, the minigame ends in a draw.
