Red Shells
After you throw a Red Shell forward, it doesn't ricochet; it homes in on the nearest rival kart like a guided missile. It has a long but still limited range and can be avoided if a driver shoots a Green Shell backward just before impact or outswerves the shell with a mini-turbo boost. In Grand Prix, you'll very likely get a Red Shell from an Item Box if your in the middle of the pack.
