The Spiny Shell (also called '''Spiny's Shell''' in the instruction booklet) is introduced in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. In this game, the shell travels along the ground. Any player from fourth to eighth place can receive this item. However, the Spiny Shell is the rarest item in the game. | The Spiny Shell (also called '''Spiny's Shell''' in the instruction booklet) is introduced in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''.

Once fired, the Spiny Shell will travel straight forwards for a second or two. If it hits an obstacle during this time, it will be destroyed, so care must be taken to avoid wasting it. After a few seconds, the shell will begin traveling along the ground, following the track ahead of the shooter. Any [[kart]]s that the Spiny Shell hits will be thrown into the air. This can be avoided by moving out of the way, as it will not target anyone except the leader of the race. Once it gets to the leader, it will crash into them and disappear, sending them flying a fairly long distance (enough to fling them over some barriers that normally cannot be jumped over). The shell makes a highly distinctive siren sound while traveling. | Once fired, the Spiny Shell will travel straight forwards for a second or two.
