"Shell Games" is the third episode of It's Me, Mario! Stop Motion Shorts on Play Nintendo's YouTube channel.
Plot synopsis[edit]
Mario finds a Green Shell and kicks it. He then follows the Green Shell and jumps on it to stop it. After kicking it a second time with a stronger kick, the shell collects some coins and hits a ? Block which makes it go in the opposite direction, chasing Mario. When it hits him, Mario successfully lands a backflip, but the shell then comes back and hits him a second time, making him spin.
