A Gold Shell (or gold shell) is a rare type of Koopa Shell. It first appears in Mario Kart Arcade GP. In later Super Mario games, it can give coins.
History[edit]
Mario Kart series[edit]
Mario Kart Arcade GP[edit]
In Mario Kart Arcade GP, the Gold Shell appears as an item exclusive to the fourth round iteration of Rainbow Downhill.[1] This item can only be obtained in versions of the game that do not feature Mario Card compatibility.
Mario Kart Arcade GP DX[edit]
In Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, Gold Shells act just like Black Shells, but instead of being thrown normally like a Green Shell, they home in on the driver in front of the player, like a Red Shell, exploding upon impact. Triple Gold Shells can be unlocked and used as an item as well.
Mario Kart World[edit]
This section is referring to a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this section may need major rewriting.
This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.
In Mario Kart World, Gold Shells, named Coin Shells, appear as an item. They act as they do in New Super Mario Bros. 2, though they speed down the center of the course (like Spiny Shells) and burst into eight coins at the end of their limit. This also marks their first appearance in a Mario Kart video game that is not a Mario Kart Arcade GP title, as well as their first appearance in a Mario Kart console title.
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
In Super Mario Galaxy, the gold shell appears in only two missions: Passing the Swim Test and Bigmouth's Gold Bait.
When the player arrives at the Beach Bowl Galaxy, they learn that the penguins' Coach gave his students a "swimming test" where the students have to find shells. He states that the penguin that finds a gold shell instantly gets an A. When the player dives underwater after speaking with Coach, the player sees that a penguin has already found the sole gold shell. The player must swim up to the penguin, who refuses to give up the shell. However, the player can take the gold shell from him by spinning, allowing them to take it back to Coach, who is so impressed that he gives Mario a "gold medal" (which is actually a Power Star), only to realize Mario is not one of his students. After Mario gets the Power Star, he has to leave the gold shell behind.
In the Bigmouth Galaxy, the player finds the Gold Treasure Box, which will open only if they bring back a gold shell. After swimming through a dangerous cavern in the darkness, the player must find the gold shell to bring back up and throw it at the treasure chest, opening it and freeing the Toad Brigade captain, who was trapped in the chest. He gives Mario a Power Star as thanks for freeing him.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
Gold Shells return in New Super Mario Bros. 2, where they are now the golden versions of the average Koopa shells. They are much more common here, as Gold Shells appear when Mario passes a Gold Ring. When a Gold Koopa is stomped, they retreat into their golden shell, and if kicked it produces a trail of coins behind it.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]
Gold Shells also appear in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury; once again, they are rare. They only appear in Koopa Troopa Cave, Sunshine Seaside, and Coin Express. They function similar to the ? Box and Gold Shells in New Super Mario Bros 2: the player gains coins for shell-dashing with these shells or throwing them; they give 30 coins before breaking. There is also no character color code for the shells.
