In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the Green Shell can be destroyed after hitting a certain amount of walls. Also, when fired backward, it moves much slower than forward, unlike ''Mario Kart 64'' where the shell moves at the same speed in both directions. The physics has also been changed from the previous game, and being hit by a Green Shell will simply topple the player's kart, letting them continue moving straight away. The Triple Green Shells also reappear in this game, but only [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]], [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]] can get this item, as it is now classified as a [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special item]]. Unlike ''Mario Kart 64'' however, instead of the shells rotating the player's kart, they are held in the character's hand, and as such, they cannot be used as protection against track-based obstacles unless they are fired. Also, a shell will travel through a Fake Item Box without destroying either of the two. Also, the Triple Green Shell can now be fired backwards, a feature missing from ''Mario Kart 64''. Characters who otherwise cannot receive Triple Green Shells can steal this item from another kart by ramming it while using a [[Mushroom]]. Also, computer-controlled racers can now receive, and fire, any item in the game from any position. In this game, the Green Shell has a sound effect similar to [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]s from ''Mario Kart 64''.

Non-moving Green Shells also make their first appearance since ''Super Mario Kart''. If a player holding a Green Shell or Triple Green Shell is hit by a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], a [[Bob-omb]], [[Lightning]] or a [[Super Star|Star]], the shell(s) will be dropped onto the track. [[Yoshi's Egg]]s and [[Birdo's Egg]]s may also randomly release this item after being destroyed. Certain course obstacles may also make a kart lose their items, such as Piranha Plants, Chain Chomps, [[Cataquack]]s and cars and trucks. Also, certain creatures on some race tracks can be temporarily taken out by shells, such as Goombas and Cataquacks. If a pipe containing a Piranha Plant is hit, the Piranha Plant droops down and temporarily cannot attack passers-by.

Green Shells, as well as the green [[big shell|Giant Shell]]s, are offensive power-ups in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. In these games, they are normally collected in groups of three. Once used, they are fired out in the direction the soccer player is facing. The Green Shell then trips up any opponent it hits on the ground, thus halting their movements for a small period of time. The shells, unlike the [[Red Shell]]s, do not home in on a target, but instead move in one straight path until the shell hits a wall, which makes them bounce back, or hits a player, which destroys the shell. The aforementioned Giant Shells cover a wider range than the regular Green Shell. They are useful for clearing room for a [[Super Strike]] or [[Mega Strike]].
