Shell Stones

Shell Stones are a Key Item in Paper Mario: The Origami King.
== In Paper Mario: The Origami King ==
There are five Shell Stones, with the purple Shell Stone being located in Picnic Road, and the red, blue, yellow and green Shell Stones being located in Overlook Mountain. Together, the Shell Stones open up the door to the Earth Vellumental Temple in Picnic Road
* The purple Shell Stone remains attached to the door of the Earth Vellumental Temple, however Mario must defeat an Origami Shy Guy who is trying to pry the Stone from the door. This is the only stone to never be in Mario's inventory.
* The green Shell Stone can be found in Overlook Mountain, and can be bought from a mole at an auction. Mario can chose not to buy the Shell Stone, and each time Mario says no, the mole will lower the price. However, once the price gets to 300, then three Koopa Troopas will buy the Stone. They will sell the Stone to Mario for 500 coins. The prices, from 1st offer to last offer are, 10,000, 5,000, 3,000, 2,000, 1,000, 500, and then 300. Because the Koopas sell the Stone for 500 coins, it costs nothing to continue to say no. Its description reads, "The green Shell Stone, sold by a shady aboveground mole."
* The yellow Shell Stone can be found in Overlook Mountain, being held by a Dry Bones. The Dry Bones can be found by defeating an Origami Goomba, which in turn can be found in a group of bushes near the thwomp obstacle. Its description reads, "The yellow Shell Stone, held by a very much alive Dry Bones."
* The blue Shell Stone can be found close to the yellow Shell Stone in Overlook Mountain. Mario must use a fishing rod to catch the biggest fish is an Origami Cheep Cheep, that when defeated yields the blue Shell Stone. Its description reads, "The blue Shell Stone, fished from the belly of a Cheep Cheep."
* The red Shell Stone can be found at the farthest part of Overlook Mountain, past the Overlook Tower. It can be obtained by stealing it from three Paper Macho Shy Guys, who are using it as a soccer ball. To do this, Mario must knock over two of the Paper Macho Shy Guys, so that he can position himself so that the last Paper Macho Shy Guy kicks it into the middle of the field. However, the Paper Macho Shy Guys will get up after awhile, allowing the last Paper Macho Shy Guy people to kick the Stone to. Its description reads, "The red Shell Stone, intercepted midpass from a soccer game."
