It is a blue variant of a {{iw|mariowiki|Spiny Shell|red}}, which when thrown will plow through everything in its path while chasing the racer in first place. ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart: Double Dash!!}}'' granted the Spiny Shell wings, which increased its speed but removed its ability to strike anything in its path, while also changing its behaviour to stop upon reaching its target and detonate in a large blue explosion more punishing than a normal shell. It also became much more common an item, leading to a notorious reputation, though its damage could be avoidable with a well-timed {{iw|mariowiki|Dash Mushroom}} or [[Super Star|Star]]. ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart 7}}'' reverted the Spiny Shell to being a very rare wingless threat to everyone in its path, but keeping the explosion at the end, and ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}'' introduced the {{iw|mariowiki|Super Horn}} specifically to counter it. | ||

Other Mario spinoff games have borrowed the Spiny Shell for their own purposes. Its primary trait is generally that it targets whoever is in first place, often with a harsher penalty than a normal setback. | Other Mario spinoff games have borrowed the Spiny Shell for their own purposes.
