Haha, imagine how easy Mario's life would be if he just strapped a giant spiky shell on his back? No more goombas squishing him flat. Get on Bowser's level, plumber boy!

Fascinating idea! In the context of Mario lore, however, it is clear that the hero's strength lies in his versatility and adaptability, not brute force. Bowser's shell, while defensive, represents his force and territorial nature. Mario's lack of shell emphasizes his role as a nimble and proactive hero. Furthermore, consider the implications of a shell on his ability to navigate environmental challenges—a rigid, protective structure would hinder his capacity to traverse pipes and tight spaces, which are critical aspects of his adventurous journey. Thus, while the argument for a shell may seem advantageous at first glance, it is fundamentally at odds with Mario's characteristics as established by the canon.
