Any player | The Spiny's Shell is first introduced in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. In the game, the shell has spikes on it and travels along the ground. It is essentially a blue version of the common [[Spiny Shell]]. Any player from fourth to eighth place can receive this item. However, the Spiny's Shell is the rarest item in the game. | ||
Once fired, the Spiny's Shell will travel straight forwards for a second or two. If it hits an obstacle during this time it will be destroyed, so care must be taken to avoid wasting it. After a few seconds the shell will begin traveling along the ground, following the track ahead of the shooter. Any karts that the Spiny's Shell hits will be thrown into the air. This can be avoided by moving out of the way, as it will not target anyone except the leader of the race. Once it gets to the leader, it will crash into them and disappear, sending them flying into a fairly long distance (enough to fling them over some barriers that normally cannot be jumped over). The shell makes a highly distinctive siren sound while traveling. | Once fired, the Spiny's Shell will travel straight forwards for a second or two.
