'''Red Shells''' (also formatted as '''red shells''') are objects introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. They are red [[Koopa Shell]]s that often home in on targets when thrown, unlike [[Green Shell]]s.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', single Red Shells can be laid behind the player and act as a land mine, chasing after the first kart that passes by, even the user.

In ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the Triple Red Shells are a [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special item]] exclusive to [[Koopa Troopa]] and [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] (and [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]], who can obtain any special item). Also, in ''Double Dash!!'', the three shells are carried in their hands rather than circling around the kart. When the kart is hit by an item, they are left with a single shell. Starting with this game, Red Shells emit a constant sound effect; in this case, a siren-like sound.

In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' Red Shells may hit the target kart from the side, which prevents any items behind the kart from blocking it. Single Red Shells are obtainable from 2nd to 6th place; Triple Red Shells are excluded from the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] mode, as items cannot be equipped in that mode.

Instead of kicking the shell toward the enemy, Mario and Luigi quickly trade the shell with alternating {{button|switch|a}} and {{button|switch|b}} inputs as they build up its power, culminating in Mario kicking the shell into one enemy, dealing heavy damage to it. The attack, unlike its previous iterations, can hit an airborne target.

Striking three, five, seven and nine times with the Red Shell will yield an "OK!", "Good!", "Great!" and "Excellent!" rating respectively.

Red Shells are items in the ''[[Mario Strikers (series)|Mario Strikers]]'' series. They are obtainable in groups of three, similarly to the ''Mario Kart'' games; red [[big shell|Giant Shell]]s also appear. When thrown, Red Shells home in on a nearby opponent instead of sliding in a given direction; shells that miss their target will bounce around the stage like a Green Shell. A red Giant Shell will home in on a target to flatten, bouncing around the stage as normal after. Red Shells are generally useful when clearing room for a  [[Super Strike]], a [[Mega Strike]], or a [[Skillshot]].

Red Shells appear during the [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Nintendo DS)|Dream Race]] event in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. The shells function similarly to those in the ''Mario Kart'' series, homing in on an opponent and causing them to lose speed if they are hit, but a [[Barrier (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Shield]] can be used to block their effects. The shells also appear in [[Dream Long Jump (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games)|Dream Long Jump]], where they also cause the player to lose height, though they can be blocked by using a Shield or [[Super Star|Starman]]. They appear in the [[Dream Canoe]] event with a similar function; the player who manages to hit another competitor with a Red Shell steals three of their coins. They come in sets of three, and can be avoided or blocked by using a Starman item.

Red Shells perform an almost identical function during the [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Wii)|Dream Race]] in the Wii [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|version]], where they can be thrown forward and home in on opponents, causing them to lose speed when hit; they can be dodged using a Starman, invincibility from a [[Chaos Emerald]] or by jumping over them. Red Shells also appear as items in [[Dream Platform]], where they will home in on an opponent and destroy any [[Brick Block]]s between it and the target, and can be blocked by using a [[Barrier (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Barrier]].

Red Shells are items in the [[Dream Racing]] event of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', where they hone in on the nearest opponent, like in the ''Mario Kart'' series, but do so while hovering above the ground slightly. The opponent drops several of their [[Ring (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Rings]] when hit.
