Red Shells have appeared in every {{Uv|Mario}} game that has a Red [[Koopa Troopa]] ever since ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''; however, the way the Red Shell acts in ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Melee'' originates from its behavior in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' series, where it homes in on other characters causing the kart that got hit to flip out in an attempt for the firer to steal a place. Also, the red shells can backfire too just as it can in ''Smash Bros''. Its behavior in the ''Smash Bros.'' games could also be referencing the behavior of Red Koopas, as they do not walk off of ledges like other enemies do. | Red Shells have appeared in every {{Uv|Mario}} game that has a Red [[Koopa Troopa]] ever since ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''; however, the way the Red Shell acts in ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Melee'' originates from its behavior in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' series, where it homes in on other characters causing the kart that got hit to flip out in an attempt for the firer to steal a place.

Although based on the Red Shell from ''Mario Kart'', Red Shells also act similarly to the {{s|supermariowiki|Kamikaze Koopa}} from ''Super Mario World''. When Kamikaze Koopas entered their shells, they would begin to pursue Mario or Luigi the best they could, while still sliding on the ground. | Although based on the Red Shell from ''Mario Kart'', Red Shells also act similarly to the {{s|supermariowiki|Kamikaze Koopa}} from ''Super Mario World''.

==Overview== | |||
Instead of sliding in the same direction it was thrown in after coming in contact with the ground like a green shell, it will start sliding from left to right, targeting the closest player. When stationary, the Red Shell will activate when [[jump]]ed on or after coming in contact with a [[hitbox]]. Like the [[Green Shell]], a sliding Red Shell will halt all movement upon being jumped on. The Red Shell does moderate set [[knockback]] and therefore cannot KO opponents at any percentage except lower handicapped opponents. When the Red Shell is [[reflect]]ed, its [[damage]] output is increased, but its knockback is not. A reflected Red Shell will also have much more [[hitlag]] when it hits a player. | |||
The Red Shell does not appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', but Red Koopa Shells appear in the [[Subspace Emissary]]. However, these function in the same way as a Green Shell. The same goes for [[Smash Run]] in {{for3ds}}, as the Red Koopa appears once again as an enemy. | |||

''Throw a Red Shell, and it will home in on random characters and send them flying straight up. Red Shells moving around the surface are dangerous to all players, but they may also present attack chances for players with good timing and strategy. Red Shells won't leave the platform they're on once they start moving.'' | ''Throw a Red Shell, and it will home in on random characters and send them flying straight up.
