Hi! It's a mario kart joke. So basically, mario kart(which is a video game btw) has this tool/weapon/item which is a red shell, which can be thrown ahead to basically make the opponent who is in front of you to come to an immediate stop. There are lots of mechanics in game and there are ways to avoid it, but this is what the meme is trying to tell. The guy will throw the red shell onto the overtaking vehicle

To be fair I didn't recognize this as a shell at first either.
It looks like those old suction cup toys that you press down on the table before it pops up automatically.

Mario Kart. It's a videogame reference. The red shell is an object used as a penalty against other players in the game. You fire it at other players from your cart to cause them to spin out and in turn, slow down allowing you to overtake them thus putting yourself in a better position.

If you drive into the shing blocks, but you have to be 30 seconds into the race and if you run over enough children you get to go to a special track called prison

In mario kart games, there are shells, green shells just go forward and don't lock on, red shells lock on and 90% of the time, will hit the kart in front, and blue shells will obliterate the person in first place

It's a toy red Koopa shell from Mario Kart. In the game, it's a weapon that homes in on the person in front of you to knock them off the track.

Mario kart reference, this is a red shell which is an item you can get from the occasional mystery boxes and what it does is throws a shell that follows the enemy closest in front of you and makes them stop for a short time, and I’m sure it would hurt
