Red Shell: Difference between revisions

Red Shells appear in the [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for DS)|Dream Race]] event in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. The shells function similarly to those in the ''Mario Kart'' series, homing in on an opponent and causing them to lose speed if they are hit, although their effect can be blocked if the player is using a shield. The shells also appear in [[Dream Long Jump (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games)|Dream Long Jump]], where they also cause the player to lose height, though can additionally be blocked by using a [[Super Star|Starman]]. They also appear in the [[Dream Canoe]] event with a similar function, although if a character is hit by one three of their coins are stolen by the player who threw the item. They come in sets of three, and can be jumped over or have their effect blocked by using a Starman item.
