An oddity occurs when a computer controlled racer is hit off-screen - they will simply stop dead and recover instantly. A Red Shell can send a racer off the edge of a track, even if it has a small barrier around it. Sometimes, a Red Shell fired 'on tracks' will accidentally leave the track, which can cause the player to actually shoot themselves with it. If fired in 6th, 7th or 8th place, it will also travel around the center of the track, locking onto the racer once it catches up. If fired in 1st place, the Red Shell will travel around the center of the track until it hits a racer or item left in its path, and will not lock onto any racer. Unlike the Green Shell, a racer who is hit by a Red Shell will go flying in the air. It is vulnerable to all the same things as a green shell with the additional weakness that it cannot bounce of walls - if it hits a wall it will be destroyed. When fired it homes in on the racer in front of the player. Simply put, this is a "homing-missile" version of the green shell. Unlike the single Green Shell, these shells cannot be thrown backwards. The player can then either fire these shells as normal or choose to use them as a defensive barrier. The Green Shell is the only shell in Mario Kart 64 which can be fired backwards.Ī bunch of three green shells which, once activated, circle the player's kart to act as a barrier against other weapons. If a green shell hits a banana skin, a fake item box, or another shell, it will be destroyed. They cannot be fired across large gaps, lava or deep water. They cause an opponent to tumble when hit. They can be fired either forward or backwards or they can be held behind the kart to defend from other projectiles. These are fired in a straight line and can bounce off walls. These are items that are directly used against other racers to cause them to crash or slow down. Note: The symbol means an item can be thrown forward or backward. Items are gained by driving through a floating question mark block. Most of the items featured in the original Mario Kart game were recreated in this version and a few new items were also added.
