In most Mario Kart games, if the player is in first place while using the Spiny Shell (known colloquially as the Blue Shell), it will either disappear or immediately hit the user. However, in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, it has a unique interaction.
If the player throws the Spiny Shell backward, it will wait in that spot on the track until the next lap, and then hit the driver in first place when that driver passes that spot. As such, if the player who placed the shell is in first place on the next lap, this turns into merely an extended "hit yourself" setup.

In Yoshi's New Island it is established that babies excluding Yoshis, and Piranha Plants are delivered from a land that storks pick them up from. It's also established that parents have to want children in order for them to be made, and eventually delivered by the storks. So some form of magic is at play, and since it's everyone the closest kind that fits the bill is wish magic. This also answers the question that one interviewer had about Toad reproduction, they don't. The only thing that really doesn't come from the storks is Yoshi's and Piranha Plants. I'm mostly thinking of Peewee and Dino Piranha. Bowser is delivered by storks so even Koopas which hatch from eggs are delivered. It's possible they are delivered as eggs. This also can create an explanation for Bowser Jr. If all Bowser needed was wish magic he wouldn't need a partner. The only problem is that as established in Super Mario RPG, Bowser is essentially blacklisted from having his wishes granted. That being said I'm pretty sure the sneaky King of the Koopas could have found a way around that, he is always messing around with stars. Or alternatively there is another possible way. In Super Paper Mario Paper Bowser gets a hold of the Star Rod which gave Paper Bowser access to such magic. So it is possible that when he had the Star Rod he wished for a son who would eventually be delivered even after he let the Star Rod. While Paper Mario is it's own thing we do know both Bowser and Paper Bowser eventually had a son. While someone can point out that the Paper Mario and Main Mario worlds are separate worlds, there are still a lot of similarities. Many of the main characters, locations like Dry Dry Ruins, the Koopatrol and Whackas originating in Paper Mario but showing up in the main universe as well, and shared events to name a few. So it is possible that the main Bowser pulled off a similar scheme to his Paper counterpart, we do see a flying castle in Mario Kart Super Circuit that looks strikingly similar to the one in Paper Mario.
