A Bowser Shell is a special item that first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! In the same game, only Bowser and Bowser Jr. can receive this item. (Not including Petey Piranha and King Boo, as they can receive any special item). It's similar to a Green Shell in that when it is released; it will bounce around the track. However, it will not disappear after it hits an unlucky, vulnerable pair of racers. After this weapon hits the walls of a course roughly ten times or hits opponents who have invincibility, it will break apart. This item reappeared as one of Bowser's items in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 and an item that anyone can use in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. This item was originally going to reappear in Mario Kart DS, but was scrapped before the game was released, because it was most likely too powerful, likely being replaced by the weaker Blooper however it later returned in Mario Kart Tour to wreak even more havoc on the racetrack.
