'''Tread Carefully''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''; in the first two games, it is known as '''Shell Shocked'''.
'''Shell Shocked''' is a 4-player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. The minigame reappears in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', a minigame compilation title. ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' features a similar minigame titled [[Tanks a Lot]].


==Overview==
The term "shell shock" is used to describe a disturbance caused by a prolonged exposure to active warfare.
[[File:MP2 MGC SS.png|thumb|left|240px|Shell Shocked as seen in the Mini-Game Coaster]]
The players attempt to knock out their opponents by shooting [[cannonball]]s from Koopa Tanks. 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 is eliminated. The last player remaining wins, but, in ''Mario Party 2'', if all four players are eliminated from the minigame or the time limit lapses, the minigame ends in a draw.


In ''Mario Party 2'' and ''Superstars'', there are three randomly selected levels, which can be chosen by players in their respective free play modes.
==Gameplay==

The players attempt to knock off the rest of the players by shooting [[cannonball]]s with their tanks. Players can also use a lob shot if a player is behind a Warp Pipe. In ''Mario Party 2'', there are three randomly selected levels, which can be chosen by players in [[Mini-Game Land]].


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

==Naming==
==Names in other languages==
The minigame's original name, "Shell Shocked", 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}}. "Tread Carefully", meanwhile, is a pun on the verb "tread" (meaning "to step") from the common phrase "tread carefully" and the treads of a tank.

==Notes==
{{MPTT100 Minigames}}
* 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).
