Despite the above, Bowser himself never used this move, and in fact was never seen retreating into his shell in any game prior to the move's debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Like the [[Egg Roll]] and [[Green Missile]], however, the move's concept later bled back into the Mario series starting with an appearance as Bowser's defensive power shot in ''[[supermariowiki:Mario Power Tennis|Mario Power Tennis]]'', and Bowser using shell maneuvers is now a somewhat common occurence. | Despite the above, Bowser himself never used this move, and in fact was never seen retreating into his shell in any official game prior to the move's debut in ''Super Smash Bros.
