Shady Koopas are Koopa Troopas with a cyan shell and slightly darker skin coloration that appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. They appear in the Glitz Pit and the Pit of 100 Trials.

Shellshock is a Shady Koopa that leads The Shellshockers, the seventh-ranked team in the Glitz Pit; his teammates are another Shady Koopa and a Shady Paratroopa.

Battle[edit]

Shady Koopas have an attack power of 3, and their primary offense is tucking into their shells and spinning at Mario much like other Koopas. They can also use their shell to attack even when flipped onto their back. Contrary to what Goombella's Tattle and the Tattle Log say, their attack does not increase when they get back up; however, their back-attack hits both Mario and his partner, and has twice the base power of their normal attack at 6. This is also the case with the dialogue and Tattle Log for the Shady Paratroopa.
