Rainbow Shell Tutorial

[DatDude]

I've heard that you can actually "ride" on an upside down Rainbow Shell in SMBX, but how do you do it?

[bossedit8]

While holding the upside down Rainbow Shell, go to a direction where you want to ride (either left or right), while running press the 'Down' Button and then let the 'Run' Button go while holding the 'Down' Button. You can even do this in the air like after you jumped for example. This method does not work with Link though since he is already holding his Sword and Shield. While riding on the Rainbow Shell you can go over Lava and even on Water. You can jump with it. If you want to get out of the Rainbow Shell, press the 'Alt-Jump' Button or if you want, holding it again with the 'Down' and 'Run' Button like what you normally do with almost any of the SMB2 Enemies. You can only grab a Rainbow Shell from the top while riding on it if the Player isn't Powered Up with a Leaf or a Tanooki Suit since there is a little Glitch with both of them because if you press the 'Run' Button you spin with your Tail normally which strangely even does while riding on a Rainbow Shell, means it is impossible to grab from the top so the only way to ditch it is by the 'Alt-Jump' Button.
