SUPER MARIO - Green Shell - Plush 38cm

Super Mario — Green Shell — Mocchi-Mocchi Club soft toy, 38 cm

The famous Green Shell from the Super Mario universe has been transformed into a large soft toy. Inspired by the iconic items from Nintendo games, it combines a generous size with a particularly soft and plump texture.

The soft toy replicates the rounded shape of a Koopa shell with its green top, distinctive ridges and wide white border. Its light-coloured underside completes a design that will be instantly recognisable to fans of Super Mario and Mario Kart.

Thanks to its thick filling and soft texture, it can be used as a decorative soft toy. 

Measuring approximately 38 cm, this green shell makes a striking statement on a bed, a sofa or in a room dedicated to the Nintendo universe. It can also be paired with the red shell and other soft toys in the collection to create a set inspired by items from Mario Kart.

Origin and lore of the item

The Green Shell is one of the oldest and most recognisable items in the Super Mario universe. It usually belongs to the Koopa Troopas, turtle-like creatures who frequently serve in Bowser’s armies.

In platform games, Mario can make a Koopa retreat into its shell by jumping on it. Once struck, the shell slides rapidly in a straight line, knocking over any enemies in its path. It can also bounce off walls and return towards the player, making it as useful as it is dangerous.

The Green Shell also plays an important role in the Mario Kart series. When thrown, it follows a straight path and bounces off walls. Unlike the Red Shell, it does not automatically head towards an opponent: using it therefore requires greater precision and foresight.

Drivers can also keep a Green Shell behind their kart to protect themselves against certain attacks. It can thus serve as both an offensive projectile and a makeshift shield during a race.
