'''Bowser's Shell''' | '''Bowser's Shell''' is an item in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It is a gigantic spiky shell identical to [[Bowser]]'s which can crash through multiple drivers and obstacles in a row. | ||
==History== | ==History== | ||
===''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''=== | ===''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''=== | ||
Bowser's Shell first appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' | Bowser's Shell first appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' as a [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special item]] that [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] can receive. Like the other Special Items, [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]] can also receive it. When released, it bounces around the track like a normal [[Green Shell]], toppling any [[kart]] that it hits as well as knocking down the rear character, making the racers drop their items and temporarily disabling them from switching. After Bowser's Shell hits the walls of a course roughly ten times, the shell breaks apart. Unlike many other items, the Bowser Shell can resist being destroyed by some other items, and even bounces off another special item should it collide with one. | ||
===''Mario Kart DS''=== | |||
This item was also [[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content|going to appear]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', and the model for it is still in the game. | |||
===''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2'' / ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''=== | ===''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2'' / ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''=== | ||
The item reappears as one of Bowser's items in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'' and as an item any character can use in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''. | |||
===''Mario Kart Tour''=== | ===''Mario Kart Tour''=== | ||
This item reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] of Bowser, Bowser Jr., and [[Dry Bowser]]. It acts similarly to its original appearance, though it tends to slide along the middle of a racetrack and curve its trajectory towards nearby drivers. When Bowser's Shell+ is used, the shell is bigger, and will be able to hit other racers more easily. | |||
