How to dodge shells:
What you do to dodge shells is start powersliding once you see an opponent has launched a shell. Once its hovering above you, you should have red sparks. You'll see it begin its drop, and at that moment you should let go of your powerslide and start powersliding again into your turn. (That is, if you were powersliding to the left, let go and start powersliding again with your finger pushing down on the left button.) If all goes well, the shell will dive too late and hit the ground, by which time you will be far enough away to escape the explosion.
