11. What type of shell does Koopa Troopa throw?

From Quiz "Super Mario Kart"

12. What enemies of Mario can be seen on both the Bowser Castle courses and the Rainbow Road?

From Quiz "Super Mario Kart"

Answer: Thwomps

Thwomps are dangerous in two ways when playing "Super Mario Kart". They can fall right on top of you squishing you or they can block you while they are on the ground. The thwomps look slightly different on Rainbow Road, they are electrified. Boos can be seen in the background of the Ghost Valley tracks but they are not an obstacle like the thwomps. There are no bob-bombs or chain chomps in "Super Mario Kart". Chain Chomp is an obstacle on Rainbow Road in "Mario Kart 64".
