Triple Shells



Tripple Shells are items in the Mario Kart series. They are either triple Green Shells or triple Red Shells. In Mario Kart 64, when the item is used, the three shells start flying around the player's kart, and are ready to be fired. While in this position, they also build up a protective shield for the kart, as any other items like Bananas or other shells will hit the shells and not the kart itself. Triple Shells also cannot the shot backwards.

In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Triple Shells are the special item of Koopa and Parakoopa. Here, the Koopas hold the shells in their hands, and therefore they do not protect the kart. However, the shells can be fired in any direction, and also different directions for each shell.
