The Spiny Shell made its debut in ''{{ | The Spiny Shell made its debut in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart 64}}'' and has become an important recurring item in the ''Mario Kart'' series. 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 circle its target upon reaching them and detonate in a large explosion (similar to that of a [[Bob-omb]], but blue), 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. Later, ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}'' introduced the {{iw|mariowiki|Super Horn}} item specifically to counter the Spiny Shell. | |||
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. | |||
