'''Black Shells''' are [[shell]]s of unknown origin that appear in the ''[[Mario Kart GP]]'' series. Its effects are similar to a [[Spiny Shell (Mario Kart Item)|Winged Spiny Shell]], explodes suddenly when knocks on. Although unlike a Winged Spiny Shell, it can only be fired straight and is a bit more common to get. It is possible that these are the shells of a [[Bombshell Koopa]], as they are both black and they both explode. They can also be used as a triple if unlocked.
