Its function is identical to ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', and it can be obtained if the racer is anywhere from 4th to 8th place (middle ranked positions), with CPUs also being able to obtain it in 9th place. Its rarity is on a similar level to [[POW Block]]s, making it more common than in other games. The best chance of getting this item is in 6th place, with a 7.5 percent (3 out of 40) chance of getting it in said position. If the player drops out and sees the Spiny Shell flying to that area in courses like {{classic-link|N64|Sherbet Land}}, the shell makes a U-turn and still targets the racer in 1st place. It is one of six items wherein only one can be in play at a time (the other five being the [[Thunder Cloud]], [[Blooper]], [[Bullet Bill]], [[POW Block]], and [[Lightning]]), and is one of four items with a cooldown timer for the first few seconds of a race (the other three being the Blooper, POW Block, and Lightning). Spiny Shells are unobtainable for the first thirty seconds of a race, only then can back-to-back Spiny Shells be potentially obtained. | ||
If a player is targeted for attack by a Spiny Shell or is in the vicinity of the blast, the player can avoid the attack by means of a [[Super Star|Star]], a [[Mega Mushroom]], a [[Bullet Bill]], or a well-timed [[Mushroom]]; they can also be hit by a [[POW Block]] ([[Battle Mode#Coin Runners|Coin Runners]] only), or pass through a [[Barrel Cannon]], a [[Launch Star]] found on [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]], or the wide ramp in [[N64 DK's Jungle Parkway|DK's Jungle Parkway]]. It is even possible to drop a [[Banana]] at a very precise time during the drop after a jump, which causes the Banana to collide with the shell and spare the target. Doing a trick off a ramp at the perfect time can also result in avoiding a Spiny Shell. Also, if the player is in first when the shell is fired and drops out of that position, the shell still attacks that player. | If a player is targeted for attack by a Spiny Shell or is in the vicinity of the blast, the player can avoid the attack by means of a [[Super Star|Star]], a [[Mega Mushroom]], a [[Bullet Bill]], or a well-timed [[Mushroom]]; they can also be hit by a [[POW Block]] ([[Battle Mode#Coin Runners|Coin Runners]] only), or pass through a [[Barrel Cannon]], a [[Launch Star]] found on [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]], or the wide ramp in [[N64 DK's Jungle Parkway|DK's Jungle Parkway]].

The Spiny Shell returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It retains the ''Mario Kart 7'' design but has a brighter, royal blue color. Like in previous games, it can be avoided by using a [[Mushroom]], in the same way as ''Mario Kart 7''. It can also be avoided by getting hit with another item, outrunning it (which is most possible on 200cc in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''<ref>{{cite|author=Czab|language=en|date=May 8, 2017|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOeyyGDpjEo|title=Outrunning Blue Shells in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''!|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 7, 2021}}</ref>), or using the rarely-obtained [[Super Horn]], which is capable of destroying Spiny Shells in their path. Like in ''Mario Kart 7'', Spiny Shells also cannot travel further than a set distance and disappears if they exceed that distance. This can easily be demonstrated by playing on {{classic-link|N64|Yoshi Valley}}, where the Spiny Shell can easily miss the player if it takes a path different than the player's; it continues on its path and does not go another lap in attempt to hit the player again. | The Spiny Shell returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.

Due to the new item system (where it depends on distance from the front runner), it is possible to get the shell from any place other than first. This item can be obtained if the player is anywhere between 5500 and 13000 units from the frontrunner. However, it is tied with the Super Horn, [[Blooper]], and [[Crazy Eight]] for the rarest item in the game. | Due to the new item system (where it mostly depends on distance from the front runner), it is possible to get the shell from any place other than first.
