''[[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. | 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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.

However, the move is now available from the beginning of the game, costs 3 BP instead of 4, and deals considerably more damages at the cost of being shortened to six hits. The speed of both the shell and the Bros. moving forward is also increased. | ||
