- Not to be confused with Koopa Troopa Cup, another cup with a Green Shell as the emblem.
The Shell Cup is a cup in the Mario Kart series, introduced in Mario Kart DS as the fifth cup of that game. Typically, it exclusively features classic courses and is the first retro cup overall; these tend to be from the Mushroom Cup and Flower Cup of previous games, and are thus usually simple with few hazards, akin to the Mushroom Cup. The emblem of the cup is a Green Shell. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Shell Cup is one of two cups to be themed around a shell, alongside the Spiny Cup.
History[edit]
Mario Kart series[edit]
List of courses[edit]
Mario Tennis Open[edit]
The Shell Cup also appears in Mario Tennis Open as the third cup in the Star Open tournament series, but the shell is a Red Shell instead of the usual green. The trophy is designed as a Red Shell on top of a tower that resembles a feature from Bowser's Castle. This cup is held in the Bowser's Castle court, with the matches having three sets for the starting round, three sets for the semifinals, and five sets for the finals.

Characters that can be unlocked include Rosalina, Metal Mario, Lakitu, Toadette, Baby Rosalina, Pink Gold Peach, Iggy Koopa, Roy Koopa, Lemmy Koopa, Larry Koopa, Wendy O.

Trading Card info[edit]
"The first of four Retro Cups, the Shell Cup is made up of four great blasts from the past. One track from GameCube, one from DS, one from Super NES, and one from N64. It's a great mix, and they all get a face lift with the graphics boost in Mario Kart Wii."
