The Spiny Shell was announced to appear in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U during the Super Smash Bros. Direct, and it functions like it does in the Mario Kart series. It seeks out a player and hovers over them, then crashes on top of them, doing a decent amount of damage.
The Spiny Shell, once thrown, floats above the player in the lead. After a moment of floating, it hits the player and explodes. The shell can be dodged when it explodes. When the shell is floating, anybody who touches it will be slightly damaged.
