In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Red Shells have the ability to home in on the opponent whose rank is one higher than the user's. Red shells can be picked up in sets of one or three. When the triple variant is used, three Red Shells rotate around the driver's [[kart]] upon usage, (all games except ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'') protecting him or her from [[Banana]]s and other shells. If the driver collides with another driver using Triple Red Shells, he or she will be hit by one, and if the other driver also has another set of [[Triple Green Shells]] or Triple Red Shells, both drivers lose their shells. Triple Red Shells are not used in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' [[Wi-Fi]] mode due to the fact that items cannot be equipped in that mode.

In ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', single Red Shells can be laid behind the player and act as a land mine, chasing after the first kart that passes by, even the user.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the Triple Red Shells are a special item exclusive to [[Koopa Troopa]] and [[Paratroopa]] (and [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]], due to their ability to have any special item). Also, in ''Double Dash!!'', the three shells are carried in their hands rather than having them circling around the kart. When the kart is hit by an item, the three shells are reduced to one.

In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', red shells are able to trail in the sky; unlike older mario kart games, where red shells easily fall down when thrown in the air, similar to what happens when a green shell is thrown in the air.
