Spiny Shell (red): Difference between revisions

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Spiny Shells made their debut. Unlike future appearances, Spiny Shells still act as a hazard when upside-down, just as they do right-side up. Thusly, Spiny Shells cannot be picked up, thrown, or kicked, as [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] will still take damage if they touch them. Notably, in the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Game Boy Advance version]], immobile upside-down Spiny Shells are harmless, and can thus be carried, thrown, and/or kicked.

Like in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' games, Spiny Shells flipped upside-down will not harm [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] when carried.

Spiny Shells appear as obstacles in the ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' minigame [[Ice-Rink Risk|Ice Rink Risk]], the ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' minigames [[Crate and Peril]] and [[Cog Jog]], and the ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' minigame [[Fun Run]]. They retain their function in the first two minigames in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. In the original version of Ice Rink Risk, they uncharacteristically have hexagonal plates making up the carapace instead of a smooth surface, despite the official artwork for said minigame showing otherwise. In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', they reappear in Ice-Rink Risk.
