green shell
Reptile's protective covering
A green shell is a projectile item in the Mario Kart video game series—a turtle shell that travels in a straight line until it hits another racer or bounces off walls.
Unlike the homing red shell, green shells require aim: I nailed him with a green shell on the final turn.
The term sometimes appears in broader gaming slang for any skill-based projectile versus auto-targeting ones.
