The green Squirtle represents the Koopa Troopa, a turtle-like enemy that commonly wears a green shell, which appears as the item. The increased defense references how the Koopa Troopa retreats into its shell after getting hit by a physical attack, preventing it from being destroyed this way.

Koopa Troopas are Bowser’s main minions. While some are more pacifist, most are loyal to their King, bravely charging at Mario (and straight into a bottomless pit). After jumping on them, Mario can pick up and throw their shells at other enemies. Hit eight in a row for a 1-up! You can spot some in Smash on both the Mushroom Kingdom and Super Mario Maker stage, but they’re stuck in the background.
