'''Black Shells''' are [[shell]]s of unknown origin that appear in the ''[[Mario Kart GP]]'' series. Its effects are similar to that of a [[Spiny Shell (Mario Kart Item)|Winged Spiny Shell]], though unlike a Winged Spiny Shell, it can only be fired straight and has a higher appearance rate. They explode upon impact of a wall, obstacle, or other racer, sending those caught in the blast soaring for a second. They can also be used as a triple if unlocked.

'''Black Shells''' are one of the rare colored variants of the [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] shell. Unlike the others, this type is capable of exploding. Despite their name, they appear to be a lavender or dark purple instead of black in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' subseries.

==History==
One of the artworks from ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' depicts the [[Bombshell Koopa]] with a black shell. In the game, the shell detonates within a few secconds after the hero stomps on the Koopa. Some evidently high-ranking members of the [[Koopa Troop]], such as the [[Fire Bro.|Fire Bros.]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Black Ninjakoopa]], and [[Lakithunder]], are shown to wear non-exploding Black Shells. Additionally, in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Lakitu]]s, and [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Brother]]s were portrayed as wearing, in the episode "[[Mario and Joliet]]" showed, fire-proof Black Shells.

*The '''Black Pac-Bomb''' in ''[[Wikipedia:Pac-Man World Rally|Pac-Man World Rally]]'' is similar to the Black Shell. This is the same with the [[Green Shell]], [[Red Shell]], and [[Blue Shell]], which are all similar to their respective '''Pac-Bomb''' companions.
Black Shells reappear with the same function in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]''. Triple Black Shells also return as an unlockable item with the same function.
