Blue Shell Spinys And Mario Kart's Spiny Shell
So recently after The Super Mario Bros. Movie I've seen many people going under the assumption that the Blue Shells from Mario Kart are Koopa Troopas shells, and that Blue Shelled Koopas are special high ranking Koopas.
However while the Blue Shell is a Koopa shell it is not a Koopa Troopa or Paratroopa shell but rather a Spiny Shell. This is evidenced by the countless manuals, in game info, and even cards referring to it as such.
You also have the while non canon Mario + Rabbids referring to it as a Spiny shell through the Phantom or a large fossilized Spiny Shell.
There is also the appearance of the shell usually and mostly appearing like Spiny shell with a smooth appearance. Now while recent games have given it segments making it somewhat more resemble a Koopa Troopa shell, Red Spiny shells also have dawned this appearance. These include the ones from Mario Strikers Charged, Mario Party 3, and Super Mario Strikers.
There is also the fact that no Blue Shelled Koopas in game have a spiked shell. Whether it be the Blue Shelled Koopa Troopas from Super Mario World or Kooper from Paper Mario 64, not a single one wears a spiked Blue Shell.
While the Spiny Shell of Mario Kart is made by a company for the events, there are some beings in game that wear such shells as armor. You have Major Burrows from Super Mario Galaxy and you have the Sky-Blue Spiny Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

Mario Karting
including: alex albon, yuki tsunoda, dino beganovic, lance stroll + isack hadjar author's note: blame my mario kart addiction for this <3 also finally writing for dino, which is great because i love him, but also means i have a chance to include swedish in my writing! hooray! reader is gn, no use of y/n <3 warnings: mentions of food (yuki). minor swedish dialogue (dino), i think that's it? just fluffy ! word count: 1.3k (200-ish each)
Tumblr media
★ Alex Albon
he always—and i mean always plays yoshi
if anyone else tries to take him from him, he gives them the dirtiest glare
whenever he and you play against each other, somehow one of your pets always end up in the way
either sitting in his lap or yours, or maybe even sitting in front of the screen somehow
then, when he makes his kart he does speed > acceleration > grip > handling > weight
his favourite cup to play with you is the lightning cup
he gets to first and then gets red shelled like twice in a row and falls down the pack to like 7th
gets so, so stressed but he hides it well, just lets out a heavy sigh when the race is over
he's very competitive too―he probably uses all his items on you whenever you're in front of him
lets out such a laugh when you get mad at him
it's the funniest thing ever according to him
although, if you get above him he gets very happy because you seem very proud of yourself
probably complementing you with a smile on his face
but when you threaten to steal his seat at williams he takes it all back
Tumblr media
“Mate, that's just not fair, now is it?” Alex exclaims, his hands gripping the controller.
“What happened?”
“I just got fucking red shelled twice!” He groans, “I swear, like, they're targeting me or something.”
You laugh at him, softly bumping his shoulder with yours, “maybe you're just bad.”
“Take that back!”
Tumblr media
★ Yuki Tsunoda
i think he'd play like tanooki mario or baby mario
his karts always priorities speed over all else, less weight too―he probably doesn't have too much acceleration on them though
he loves the shell cup, he is actually godlike at moo moo meadows
and he is so incredibly competitive, like he starts kicking you whenever you get too close to his character―ending up in a semi-brawl against each other
he's surprisingly strategic too, like purposely falling back a little to get the bullet, then getting to the front with mushrooms and just dominating
takes it super seriously. it's his life on the line, actually
oh and he makes sure to have snacks for you two ready 
dried fruits, chocolate, chips―pretty much anything that you want, he has on the table
even homemade snacks if any of you are craving them
though he denies that he made it for you, for his pride, he insists
he actually screeches whenever he gets hit by a projectile, blabbering curses to whoever threw them
even at you
but in the end it's all just in good fun, he never actually gets mad nor do you
except when he throws a blue shell when you're in front, of course
then it's over for him
Tumblr media
“Haha!” Yuki grins as he flies to the front with his items.
“How did you get that?!” You pout, eyes still locked on the screen, watching as he passes by you with a golden mushroom.
“Strategy, obviously. You're just not Mario Karting on my level.”
Tumblr media
★ Dino Beganovic
he mains koopa troopa for no reason other than “he’s funny”
and his favourite cup is the egg cup, he just really likes dragon driftway
talking about drifting
he is actually incredible when it comes to drifting and doing tricks
he never misses a singular one, and you have zero clue how he does it
it’s like magic or something
but he also gets terrible luck when it comes to items, and he’s not particularly good with them either
the number of times he's either a) thrown a bomb and proceeded to drive into it, and b) thrown a green shell that just ends up hitting him couldn’t even be counted on two hands
not only that, but he fumbles or gets shelled so much
it’s kind of pitiful, like you feel so bad when you see his number just fall from 1 to 3, to 4, and even 6
and he doesn’t rage much, but when he does he rages in swedish
he does refrain from doing so majority of the time, but it is fun to witness
either way, when you do start to feel bad when he falls down the pack, it usually doesn’t stay that way long
somehow he always manages to climb back into top 3
it gets irritating sometimes, however, that never lasts because he just looks so pretty when he’s proud of himself
give him a little victory smooch for me, please <3
Tumblr media
“Men asså! Din jävla—ugh, gud…” Dino groans as yet another shell flies into him, “Jag svär om det kommer en till-”
There’s a brief pause, and you can’t help but snicker at Dino’s dramaticism.
“Calm down, it’s not like it’s the end of the world.”
“But it is!”
*translation 1: "oh my! you fucking—ugh, god..."
Tumblr media
*translation 2: "i swear if there's another one-"
★ Lance Stroll
he’d main rosalina, maybe? or maybe lakitu or shy guy—any one of them
his favourite cup by far is the flower cup, mainly because first off, it’s not too intense
and secondly, he just thinks it's cute
whenever you play, it’s usually very casual—you mostly play on either 100cc or 150cc if you’re feeling a little competitive
the two of you just laze on his couch with your limbs entangled, eyes trained on the screen and just having fun
it’s genuinely very sweet 
he never really rages at mario kart either, he doesn’t take it serious enough
although whenever he wins or gets top 3, he does get happy (even though it is almost every race that he does)
just this silly cute grin plastered on his face
especially when you’re also winning with him!
just smiling softly while saying, “did you see that drift?”
and you just smile back
he’s so cute!!! how could you not?
Tumblr media
The two of you are sitting on Lance’s couch, in his living room, your head resting on his shoulder, your eyes glued to the screen as you drive around the Mario Kart racetrack. 
There’s only you, him, the TV, and the game's sound. It’s comforting, warm, and Lance’s heartbeat is a steady rhythm beating by your ear.
“Ooo! Did’ya see that?” he murmurs against your scalp, his voice is soft—barely audible as he presses a soft kiss against your head, “that drift was insane.”
“I’m sure it was.”
Tumblr media
★ Isack Hadjar
he’s a toad main, and i feel like further elaboration is unnecessary
playing mario kart is basically him driving f1, it’s life or death for him, and he will play as competitively as possible
in a boyfriend™ way, of course
the two of you play on 150 or 200cc at all times, always fully locked in
his favourite cup is also the triforce cup because he thinks it is hilarious when you either fall off the map or something
(he gets mad when he does, though)
when you get too close, just like yuki, he will kick you 
it’s all fun and games, though! he only does it when he knows you don’t mind
oh whenever he sees you in front and he just happens to have a projectile—he throws it immediately
just to see that grumpy expression 
he genuinely just says something like, “tough luck, babe” and laughs
karma is a bitch, though, and like ten seconds after you see him fly past your screen but backwards because he got hit by lightning and then red shelled
he also swears in his mother tongue, like yelling because this game is broken! 
afterwards, the two of you make up with a soft exchange of kisses and watch youtube, muttering truce? truce.
Tumblr media
A wave of pride washes over you as you see the number in the corner turn into a one as you overtake Princess Peach for first place. You let out a triumphant yes! and the exact moment you do, you hear a mischievous laugh from Isack.
You feel doom approaching as you hear how a shell approaches. 
“You are fucking with me, Isack! Seriously?”
“Blame the game, not the player.” He laughs.

Super Mario 64 contains unused small red and green Koopa Troopa shells in its data. They neither share their shape with the green Koopa Troopa shell present in the finished version, nor the similarly-sized Spiny shell, but have their own unique shape.
Based on internal documentation, these were some of the earliest objects created for the game. Unfortunately, all code for them has been removed and they are completely non-functional.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! introduced many new elements to the Mario Kart series, but right now, let's talk about special items.
Tumblr media
Special items are items exclusive to certain characters (and King Boo + Petey Piranha, who are allowed to use every special item). Though this concept is present in Mario Kart Tour, Double Dash was the first entry to use it. Each pair of characters on the selection screen (Mario + Luigi or Yoshi + Birdo, for example) shares a special item. These are:
Fireballs - Exclusive to Mario and Luigi. Luigi gets green fireballs because he's special. Launches a spread of fireballs in front of your kart. They bounce a few times before disappearing and ricochet against walls. Opponents will spin out if hit.
Heart - Exclusive to Peach and Daisy. Protects you from and allows you to steal up to two items, with no time limit. The only items that can negate the Heart are the Spiny Shell, Lightning, Star, Chain Chomp, and Bob-Omb.
Yoshi/Birdo Egg - Exclusive to Yoshi and Birdo. Birdo gets pink spots on her egg because she's special. Homes in on the kart in front of you and, either upon landing a hit or running out of time, will break open to scatter three items on the track. Possible items include Bananas, Green Shells, Mushrooms, Fake Item Boxes, Stars, and Bob-Ombs.
Chain Chomp - Exclusive to Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. Summons a Chain Chomp to pull your kart forward at high speeds. The Chain Chomp will eventually break off and run wild across the track for a few seconds. It will knock racers over and force them to drop their items if it hits them, regardless of whether it is still attached to you.
Giant Banana - Exclusive to Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. Just like an ordinary Banana, but giant and angry. If another kart hits it, it will split apart into three regular Bananas. Can also block other items (such as Shells) without breaking or disappearing.
Triple Shells - Exclusive to Koopa Troopa and Koopa Paratroopa. Just like normal Green and Red Shells, but you get three. You will, however, drop all but one if you get hit by an item while holding them. I have heard that Paratroopa is more likely to draw Red Shells, but I cannot verify this.
Bowser Shell - Exclusive to Bowser and Bowser Jr. Launches forward and can ricochet against several walls before breaking. It will knock racers over and force them to drop their items if it hits them.
Bob-Omb - Exclusive to Wario and Waluigi, and making its overall series debut in this entry. It explodes by hitting a racer, colliding with an item, or reaching a time limit. At the very outer edge of the explosion, karts only spin out. Toward the center, though, racers are tossed into the air and forced to drop their items.
Golden Mushroom - Exclusive to Toad and Toadette. Provides an unlimited number of speed boosts within a time limit.
So, based on these descriptions (and your own gameplay experience, if applicable)...

Shells Are Clothes
So, shells in the Mario world are not necessarily biological but more like a type of clothing and possibly power up with variations of a single shell.
While not everyone remembers this but Koopas quite often could be kicked out of shells and run around without one Super Mario Bros. 4 Super Mario World, Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario 64, etc. Even in the original Mario Bros. the Shell Creepers exit their shells to flip it. In Paper Mario 64 the Koopas of Koopa Village have their shells stolen by Fuzzies, one Koopa mentions their shell is custom made, this shows them to be something that can be ordered and worn.
This is further shown with characters like Bowser in the RPG games switching out shells, and Mario using the Blue Shell power up. Mario uses a Blue Shell Power up and block in NSMBDS and M&LBIS. There is also the Lazy Shell from SMRPG.
Not to mention Mario and Friends in Super Mario 3D World can enter empty Koopa shells.
They also seem to serve as power ups themselves Bowser gaining abilities from different shells, certain shells in SMB4SMW being able to chase Mario down when piloted by a Kamikaze Koopa, or even how when a Yoshi eats the SMW shells he can spit fire or grow wings.
We also see Blue Electrokoopas remove their shells and send it flying at Mario as a form of attack.
The shells are probably made by a company that is connected to the Strike Equipment from Mario Kart who Mario Red, Green, Bowser, and Spiny shells for kart races.
We also see shells being worn by non Koopa creatures as well that don't normally need shells like Goombas, Konkadors, and Ant Troopers. Yoshis themselves could be a Koopa as mentioned in a previous post, and like Koopas they are born without their shells.
Some shells might even be extra heavy causing Koopas to go on all 4.

Are anthropomorphic turtles with removable shells that come in many different colors, with green and red Koopa Troopas being the most common; green Koopa Troopas usually walk in a straight line until they hit a wall or fall into a bottomless pit, while red Koopa Troopas walk back and forth without walking off of the platforms they are on. Koopa Troopas are the most common members of the Koopa species. Most serve as foot soldiers belonging to Bowser's Minions, being the second most common enemy encountered by Mario behind the Goombas. As revealed in Super Mario 64, however, not all Koopa Troopas work for Bowser (or any other villain), some of whom even act as allies to Mario during his adventures, and have appeared as playable characters in various spin-off games starting with Super Mario Kart. Koopa Troopas can utilize their shells in a variety of ways.

Here we are is the Super Mario Rebirth Show Bowser's army. They're the in the forefront of fighting the Mario Bros when they follow Bowser's plans. We get started on the first list of Bowser's Koopa Empire along with their history.
Koopa- The Koopas are one of the many long running species ever scene the day of the Mushroom World Time. Their first evolution was non other then a "Shellcreepers" to a walking turtle people. Some of them may have not been bad as they were out into their own village while the other Koopa's were at War with The Mushroom Kingdom. They started out in The Koopa Clan under in charge of a younger Bowser. After so many failed misions aganst the Yoshi's, Bowser decied to trun this Clan Around as an Empire, So he makes his own Koopa Kingdom in the Volcano Land aka Darklands. Years later the war continues which was Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach for the first time at the start of "Super Mario Bros 1985 events happen" Thoe the Koopa Troops were jumped onto their heads and used their shells as weapons numerous times. They aint going down without a fight as they were trained for years.
ParaKoopa- The ParaKoopas are the same Koopas but born with Wings. They traditionally come in two varieties: Red Koopa Paratroopas usually fly every where they go as the same goes to Green Koopa Paratroopas ijto The Mario Sibling's general direction. Most of the Para Koopas were under guidance by General Blue Shelled Koopa, who was In Charge of the Koopa Military.
Goomba- The Goombas were the opposite of The Toads. Some of The Goombas who were not on Bowsers side but they are not to bright. While serving the empire, The Goombas were just stomped on like a pancake. Some turned out fine but while other could have died or suffer brain damage. Despite having no arms, Goombas of all types were useful.
Shy Guy- Shy Guys are timid troublemakers and are recognizable by their masks, which they wear due to their shyness. They can be easily disposed by being picked up and thrown against another enemy or into a nearby abyss.
Laktiu- Lakitus are mysterious Koopas who can control clouds. They like to stay airborne because they're weaker than Koopa Troopas. When Bowser and Kamek hires the mystrious Koopa who controls clouds and creat Spiny's. They could also be a quite annoyance to the Mario Siblings but sometimes can be very good use to Go Karts Instructors if some are not helping the Koopa Empire.
Spiny- Spinys are much tougher then Lakitus even though they're merely their pets. Also, they can't be stomped on for obvious reasons due to their spikes on their shells and be used for weapons. They would also be known to be as their guard dogs.
Buzzy Bettle- Buzzy Bettles are the strongest soldiers. Their shells are way more tougher than those of a Koopa Troopa. Also, they're can't be hurt be fire. Unless you jump on them.
Piranha Plants- These Pirahna Plants are carnivores & they inhabit pipes. They tend to pop out of pipes without warning. Any attempt to stomp on them could render as the Pirahna Plant waits for its next meal. These Plants are the attchment to any to Bowsers Empire scene it’s days on Yoshi Island and always will be to this day to bite on its victims.
Boos- Boos are some of the most troublesome. No one reailly knows where they come from but rumors say but they were once in the Darklands in the abandon area of it and some were haunted in mansions. They like to sneak behind the Mario Siblings., trying to kill them but as soon as they turn around, the Boos cover their eyes, turn invisible & doesn't move until turn they turn back around. The one who was in charge of all Boos was "King Boo"

Found more Mario Wonder preview images.This one shows a variety of Koopa Troopas that move by roller skating.Since I haven't played too many titles in the franchise(Especially the main line) I don't know if this is a new variety all together or just one that's joined since my latest time.Same goes for the detail on how shell and shoe color seem to be linked as these Skoopas(Skater Koopas) have pink while we also have a more standard dark red/brown in another shot.

In New Super Mario Bros., there is a red Koopa Troopa walking on a three-block platform near the end of Level 1-1. If it is knocked out by throwing a Koopa shell at the rightmost block while it is walking on that block, it will become glitched. Upon reemerging, the Koopa Troopa will be intangible, unable to harm Mario, but also unable to be harmed by Mario.

Fella Files: #2. Koopa Troopa
Tumblr media
The Koopa Troopa is actually one of the first fellas I actually made on stream. I sorta collect Mario action figures, and I had a red Koopa Troopa figure on hand, so it was easier for me to draw a red one rather than the usual green. Having figures of the fellas on hand as a reference actually helps a lot when spriting these.
I wanted the Koopa Troopa to have a sort of laid-back, more relaxed, and almost kinda lazy feel to him. So for his idle animation, I had him pull his arms back a little as he stands on his tiptoes, then rolls into a little arm swing as he gets back flat on his feet.
Tumblr media
(Apologies to anyone reading this who is colorblind.)
The animation is thirteen frames but actually uses only five different sprites, which I've colorcoded here. As you can see, a big part of my animations is having certain frames repeated over a short period.
Tumblr media
This is what the animation looks like if the frames aren't repeated. I suppose this would work if the number of frames I could use were limited, but the animation is just too fast for my liking.
Tumblr media
By default, there are four animations in Stream Avatars: idle, walk, sit, stand, and jump. The above animation is a changing loop between sit and stand. And if you look closely, you can probably tell these are some of my least favorite animations to make. These animations are seldom used on stream and I'm pretty sure some people don't even know they even CAN sit or stand back up, so I tend to make a few lazy shortcuts during the spriting process. (Sorry.)
That being said, I am at least proud that I managed to fit some personality into the animations. I didn't want him to simply hide in his shell. Instead, he just kinda plops down when he sits, and when he gets up, he dusts himself off.
I know that having him hide in his shell probably would have been more difficult to draw, and having him just plop on the ground would seem like taking the easy way out, but that's not why I did that. Like I stated before, I wanted him to seem more laid-back and carefree, and having him hide in his shell seemed like too much of a defensive move. I'm confident that if I wanted him to hide in his shell, I could have drawn that. And I'm probably going to at some point. The point is, personality is a big factor when it comes to animation.
Tumblr media
This variant is the Troopea from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga... more specifically, the remake. The original design walked on all fours, but the remake changed them to basically bluish-purple Koopa Troopas with little sprouts on their heads. There were a lot of changes in the remake that I did not care for, but this one I didn't really mind that much.
Tumblr media
I have a feeling after a while these entries will become a bit repetitive, but again, here's a colorcoded showcase of how parts moving differently can make animations look so much more interesting. This is pretty much identical to the Goomba's eyebrows I posted previously- the sprout moves along with the main body, but when the main body stops, the sprout "catches up" and moves back to its default position.
So that's how I drew Koopa Troopas, or why considering a character's personality or demeanor is important when drawing them, I suppose.
