'''Red Shells''' are red [[Koopa | '''Red Shells''' (also formatted as '''red shells''') are red [[Koopa Shell]]s that frequently appear in various games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Unlike [[Green Shell]]s, they often home in on targets when thrown. | ||

''[[Super Mario World]]'' is the first game to give Red Shells' properties different from those of other shell colors. If [[Yoshi]] eats a Red Shell, he will spit out a trio of fireballs instead of the shell; a [[Yoshi (species)|Red Yoshi]] can use this ability from any shell color. Also, all Koopa shells can appear by themselves, including the Red Shell; stomping a red Koopa Troopa out of its shell renders it a red [[Beach Koopa|Koopa without a Shell]]. A red or green Koopa without a Shell that enters a Red Shell becomes a red Koopa Troopa. | |||
Once [[Fall]] is unlocked by beating [[Funky (level)|Funky]] in the original game, or by [[Completion|clearing all 96 exits]] in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', all Red Shells become red-colored Mario masks but otherwise function the same; many instances of Red Shells and Koopa Troopas are also replaced with [[Blue Shell]]s and Blue Mask Koopas, though red variants of each can still be found. | |||

Red Shells reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' as an offensive weapon. Like the Green Shells in the game, Mario can only hold the Red Shell, not ride it. If Mario throws a Red Shell near an enemy, it will home in on that enemy until it hits something. Underwater, it allows Mario to swim faster and with greater ease, and can also be thrown at underwater creatures to home in on them as well. [[Gold Shell]]s also appear in this game, and act like Red Shells when thrown. | Red Shells reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' as an offensive weapon.

They have the ability to home in on the opponent in front of the user. | ||

When Triple Red Shells are used, three Red Shells rotate around the driver's [[kart]] upon usage, and they can protect them from [[Banana]]s and other items (except in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''). If a driver collides with another driver while using Triple Red Shells, the other driver is hit by one of the shells; if both drivers have a set of [[Triple Green Shells]] or Triple Red Shells, both are lost. | ||
In ''Super Mario Kart'', | In ''Super Mario Kart'', Red Shells travel straight towards the racer in front of the user, homing in on them without following the road. Unlike Green Shells, they cannot be dropped behind the user and must be thrown forward. | ||

Like in ''Super Mario Kart'', Red Shells can be thrown only forward in this game, but they now follow the road to hit the target racer. However, Red Shells get destroyed if they hit any walls or the like. In this game only, [[Fake Item Box]]es can be used to block incoming Red Shells. | ||

In '' | In ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the Triple Red Shells are a [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special item]] exclusive to [[Koopa Troopa]] and [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] (and [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]], who can obtain any special item). Also, in ''Double Dash!!'', the three shells are carried in their hands rather than circling around the kart. When the kart is hit by an item, they are left with a single shell. | ||
In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' Red Shells may hit the target kart from the side, which prevents any items behind the kart from blocking it. Single Red Shells are obtainable from 2nd to 6th place; Triple Red Shells are excluded from the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] mode, as items cannot be equipped in that mode. | In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' Red Shells may hit the target kart from the side, which prevents any items behind the kart from blocking it.

In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Red Shells are able to trail in the sky and enter launcher passages (such as Barrel Cannons) to pursue flying racers; in previous games, Shells would simply fall when thrown in the air, and disappeared when they entered launching areas. Red Shells are obtainable from 1st to 5th place; Triple Red Shells are still player-only items, but the AI can use them if the "Shells Only" item setting is enabled. | In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Red Shells are able to trail in the sky and enter launcher passages (such as Barrel Cannons) to pursue flying racers; in previous games, Shells would simply fall when thrown in the air, and disappeared when they entered launching areas.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the Red Shell is a Bros. Item that can be used to damage enemies. The brother that chooses the item will kick the Shell towards a foe; once it hits them and bounces off, it will slide towards the other bro, who must press their corresponding button to kick it back. Like the Green Shell Bros. Item, the Red Shell can be kicked back repeatedly, and moves faster with each kick. Unlike the Green Shell, it will automatically target a new enemy if one is defeated; it can also land more than 16 hits, and can be kicked indefinitely until one of the brothers misses or all enemies are defeated. | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the Red Shell is a Bros.

The speed of both the shell and the Bros. moving forward is also increased. | ||
