Green Shell/Triple Green Shell (Mario Kart Series)



The Green Shell is an item in the Mario Kart franchise and is one of six items that has consistently been in every Mario Kart game. A triple variant, the Triple Green Shell, was introduced in Mario Kart 64. Although it gets a lot of hate, it's actually decent.

Good Qualities

 * 1) It is a slightly better Banana, as it can move around instead of staying stationary.
 * 2) Like the Banana, it can be used to block incoming items such as the Red Shell.
 * 3) The Triple Green Shell is a more useful version of the Green Shell, as it allows the player to snipe up to three opponents.
 * 4) It can also be thrown backwards, which helps to prevent racers from taking places away.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It can be hard to hit an opponent.
 * 2) The Green Shell doesn't lock onto opponents.
