Pulled straight from the world of Mario Kart, the Red Shell is a dangerous item that first appeared in Super Smash Bros. 64. Unlike its Green Shell counterpart, it homes in on nearby opponents, making it especially effective in chaotic battles.
Once thrown, the Red Shell will relentlessly chase its target, bouncing along the stage until it connects or breaks apart. Its ability to punish careless movement makes it a constant threat, and experienced players can even use it for setups and stage control rather than raw damage.
