Bowser's Shell, also known as Bowser Shell, is a special item for Bowser and Bowser Jr. in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It works like a Green Shell, only it is five times bigger. It will be destroyed after an amount of time. Bowser's Shell, the item, is just like the shell that Bowser wears (hence the name).
