Origin
This variation of a Blue Spiny Shell comes from the Mario Kart series, specifically Mario Kart 7, in which it is a rare item that flies through the course in pursuit of the leader and then hits them, causing a large explosion. The wingless Spiny Shell actually first appeared in Mario Kart 64, a game in which it moved on the ground like regular shells and hit all players in front of the user. The item has achieved infamy for its potential to completely reverse a race, as it significantly slows down the racer in first place and is borderline impossible to avoid.
