Triple Green Shells
Triple Green Shells are a set of three Green Shells that appears primarily in the Mario Kart series. When used, three Green Shells rotate around the driver's kart (In Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart Super Circuit, Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii protecting him or her from Bananas and other shells. If the driver collides with another driver, he or she will be hit by one, and if the other driver also has another set of Triple Green Shells or Triple Red Shells, both drivers will lose shells. Like ordinary Green Shells, they travel in a straight direction when fired and will bounce off walls until it exhausts. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, they were a special item exclusive to Koopa Troopa and Paratroopa (and Petey Piranha and King Boo, due to their ability to have any special item). Also, in Double Dash!!, the three shells were carried rather than having them circle around the kart. For unknown reasons, Triple Green Shells were not used in Mario Kart DS Wi-Fi mode.
Triple Green Shells also appear in Mario Smash Football and Mario Strikers Charged Football. When obtained, they can be fired in the direction the player is facing. After being fired, they spread out in three directions and ricochet off walls until they hit someone. It useful for clearing room for a Super Strike or Mega Strike.
The Triple Green Shells return in Mario Kart Wii with the same effects as the ones in Mario Kart 64.
