With Hot-Foot-It Into the Volcano
Riding the Shell
As a general rule, in order to optimize your speed while riding a shell, you should aim to jump as much as possible when Mario's speed is around 57 or higher, and aim for 1st frame jumps when Mario's speed is 63 or higher. Refer to the mp4s below for a comparison.
When riding on the shell, Mario's default forward speed is set to 24. As you hold forward, Mario's speed increases until it caps at 63. If you hold forward with the speed counter displayed in the HUD, you'll notice that the speed increases at a decelerating rate. Notice how long it takes for the speed to go from 60 to 61, 62 and 63 in the top right corner of the mp4 below.

When jumping while riding the shell however, the rate of acceleration is constant with Mario's speed increasing by 1 unit every 7 frames. Also, getting 1st frame jumps allows Mario's speed to increase beyond the 63 cap.
