A '''shell dash'''<ref>''New Super Mario Bros.'' instruction booklet, page 24.</ref> is a move which [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can perform by entering a shell and sliding around in it; it can be used in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. As the player dashes, they will defeat enemies and bounce off walls. In the games' multiplayer modes, any other players hit by this move will power down or lose a life, depending on their form. | |||

This move is introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and can only be performed if they player is in [[Shell Mario|their shell form]] after collecting a [[Blue Shell]]. It can be performed by running for about two seconds or crouching on a slope. After doing so, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] will duck into their shell and dash as fast as a moving [[Green Shell|Green]] or [[Red Shell]]. Mario or Luigi can [[jump]] while using this move, as well as hit or break [[block]]s (which, alongside walls, they will ricochet off of) and defeat enemies; it takes three shell dash hits to defeat most bosses. Unlike kicking a [[Koopa Troopa]]'s shell and hitting multiple enemies to earn increasing points and [[extra life|extra lives]], Mario or Luigi only earn 200 points for every enemy defeated when using a shell dash. | |||

There is a similar move in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury| | There is a similar move in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|Nintendo Switch port]]. If the player crouches while holding a [[Green Shell]], they will duck into the shell and dash; they will remain idle if standing still in the Wii U version. Unlike in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', one can earn increasing points and extra lives with this move. The player can exit the shell any time; if they do so, they will do a [[Spin Jump]]. However, the player's character automatically exits the shell after a while, becoming dazed and stunned for a few seconds. If a player touches the [[Goal Pole]] while using this move, they will get an extra life. | ||
In '' | In ''Bowser's Fury'', [[Fury Bowser]] uses his own version of the shell dash, which involves him tucking into his shell and rolling at Mario from the side of his carapace, rather than have his shell lie flat on the ground. When he does so, he leaves behind a trail of [[goop]], and if [[Giga Cat Mario]] claws his his shell or [[Long Jump]]s into it, he can be [[Ground Pound]]ed. | ||
