Editing Green Shell

In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', the Green Shell is an item in the form of a missile. When the player uses this item, it fires directly forward of the player's kart, changing direction only if it hits a wall. Alternatively, the player can place the shell on the track behind them like a Banana. The Green Shell is destroyed once it hits a kart or another item, or falls off the racetrack or into water or lava. If the shell has not been destroyed or fallen off the track, the game engine will remove it after more items are released onto the track. When a kart is hit by a Green Shell, the kart stops dead in its tracks whilst spinning out, unlike with a Banana, where it continues to move for a short while. The only computer-controlled player with the ability to use a Green Shell is [[Koopa Troopa]], but instead of Koopa Troopa throwing the shell, it is thrown through the air in the same manner as a Banana, and it stops suddenly when it lands rather than sliding across the ground. Green Shells do not bounce over [[ramp|jumps]]. For example, firing a Green Shell towards the main jump on [[SNES Mario Circuit 2|Mario Circuit 2]] makes the shell bounce back after hitting the wall, rather than clearing the jump and landing on the track section over the wall.
