Red Shell

The Red Shell is a throwing item that will actively hunt out the nearest player, even the character that originally used it. Note that in Super Smash Bros., both the Red and Green Shell types are categorized together and called just "Shell". Interestingly, the Red Shell does not appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, however Red Koopa Shells do in Adventure Mode.

Trophy description
''Red shells first appeared on Super Mario Bros. in 1985. They were no different from the green shells, but when Yoshi swallows and spits out red shells, it turns into fireballs. The red shells also appeared in Mario Kart as some sort of homing weapon, which makes them more useful than the green shells.''
 * Game: Super Mario Bros.
