'''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 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.
