In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, Red Shells (or '''Torpedo Shells''')<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #49|page=39|date=April 1997}}</ref> are items that make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. They have the ability to home in on the opponent in front of the user.


Red Shells can also appear in [[Triple Red Shells|sets of three]] as well, and are usually a player-exclusive item, though they can be stolen by opponents using a [[Boo]]. When Triple Red Shells are used, three Red Shells rotate around the driver's [[kart]] upon usage, and they can protect them from [[Banana]]s and other items (except in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''). If a driver collides with another driver while using Triple Red Shells, the other driver is hit by one of the shells; if both drivers have a set of [[Triple Green Shells]] or Triple Red Shells, both are lost.
