They explode upon impact of a wall, obstacle, or other racer, sending those caught in the blast soaring for a second. It is possible that these are the shells of a [[Bombshell Koopa]], as they are both black and they both explode. They can also be used as a triple if unlocked.


Some evidently high-ranking members of the [[Koopa Troop]], such as some [[Fire Bros.]], [[Black Ninjakoopa]], and [[Lakithunder]], are shown to wear non-exploding Black Shells. Additionally, in ''[[The Super Mario Bros.
