It is created when a yellow [[Beach Koopa|Koopa without a Shell]] climbs into an empty shell of any color (including its own, after being ejected from it), thus creating a flashing shell. After its transformation, the shell attempts to hit [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] by spinning around and dashing towards him. The flashing shell defeats enemies in its path; if eight enemies are defeated by the flashing shell, the player earns an [[extra life]]. It becomes impossible to separate the Koopa from the flashing shell. | ||
Flashing shells first appear in [[Donut Plains 4]]. [[Jump]]ing on a flashing shell causes the Mario Bros. to bounce upwards, but it does not damage it. Flashing shells can be defeated only with a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], a [[Spin Jump]], or a [[Super Star]]. If any Yoshi eats one, it obtains all three shell abilities (causing [[Sand cloud|sand clouds]], [[fly]]ing, and breathing fire), as long as the shell stays in the Yoshi's mouth. It is possible to respawn the yellow Koopa without a Shell that climbed into the shell, possibly leading to it dodging its own shell. | Flashing shells first appear in [[Donut Plains 4]].
