The '''riding shell air''' action is the action Mario enters while in the air while riding a shell.
== Behavior ==
''Certain things here are more explained on their individual pages. If something lacks detail, check the link for more information.''

As with all airborne actions, a variety of "cancels" are checked prior to actually performing the riding shell air action. These checks are as follows:

# Water - If Mario's height is lower than 100 units below the water height, the action is transitioned into the [[water plunge]] action.
# Squish - If Mario is supposed to be squished, his action is changed to the [[squished]] action.

At this point, two more things happen prior to the riding shell air action:
* Mario's quicksand depth is set to 0.
* Mario plays a falling noise if he has fallen more than 1150 units from his peak.

With the riding shell air action occurring, the following happens:
# Mario plays the movement sounds. <!-- Elaborate -->
# Mario's animation is set to the shell jump animation.
# Mario updates his speed/sideways position via [[straining]].
# Now, Mario performs the quarter-frame movement via a [[Movement_Steps#Air_Step|partial air step]] with no flags. The action will determine its own reaction.
#* If Mario '''Lands''':
#** Mario's action is set to the [[riding shell ground]] action.
#* If Mario '''hits a wall''':
#** Mario's forward speed is set to 0.
#* If Mario '''lava wall boosts''':
#*# Mario's yaw is set perpendicular to the wall.
#*# Mario's forward speed is capped to 24.
#*# If Mario is not wearing a metal cap, he is hurt 12 (or 18 without his hat).
#*# Mario plays the noise for being burned.
#*# The camera preset is set to the area's default preset. <!-- This is overly simplified, perhaps best put on the camera page -->
#*# Mario enters the [[Lava Boost|lava boost]] action while dropping any held objects and no longer riding a shell.
# Mario's visual position is shifted up 42 units.
