Literally git gud, or have a Super Horn since you casuals complained so much.

Senpai that's the blue shell for Double dash, mario kart ds, wii, and 7. NO ONE liked that shitty version.
7 was better but was too strong when hitting racers/first
8's blue shell is the most balanced in the series

chaosh
>>342544513
You can dodge it without even using items in DD and DS.
I can understand Wii though, even with mushrooms to dodge them, there's just so many of them and the general item balance is fucked. Wii in general has fucked balance, Funky Kong and Miis everywhere

>trying to catch up in mario kart 8 non frantic
>get a shell, single mushroom, blooper in 10-12th
>everyone getting tripple mushrooms, goldens, stars, bills and shit
>fucking 4 get a lightning
Distance items was a fucking mistake.
>>342545032
Whats the difference?
>>342545062
Great idea. Incentivize everyone to work hard enough to remain in the middle of the pack so you get lightning or flappers or stars, rather than try to stay in first place.
We can call it Affirmative Action 3.0

the explosion now only stops the target in the spot he or she was hit, instead of causing them to spin out or thrown off.
>>342544513
Best item; turned everything into mayhem.
Your salt is damaging my kidneys op, learn how 2 dodge.
>>342545503
...what was 2.0?
>>342545337
Oops accidentally added 7.
DD, DS, Wii's blue shell flew over everyone else and only hit the person in first(and those caught in the blast)
Not to mention it was so damn common in mario kart wii
7 and 8 act like the classic version that hits everyone in it's path on the way to first.
>>342545032
64 was decent.
>>342545503
You only get lightning/stars in lower places in MK8, or if first is ridiculously far ahead
>>342544513
>complaining about blue shell
go back to fucking reddit
Mario Kart is not a game meant to be taken seriously.

>>342545687
Nah 8's item system is so damn inconsistent at times.
>pass through item box
>multiple people get tripe mushrooms or stars
>essentially no one actually moved a spot
>>342545871
It's not a competitve game. Complaining about blue shells at this point is like complaining someone stole your star in Mario Party.
>>342545871
you must be fun to deal with, do you also complain about mechanics in Monopoly when playing with friends?

>>Nintenyearolds will defend this
There was only one good Mario Kart on it was the first one.
>>342546486
Lolno, the rubberbanding was worst in that one. Also
>Mario and Luigi can just turn on their star at any fucking time they please
MK64 is the real deal.
>>342545062
>>342545503
>hear blue shell
>immediately dip, grab better item, glide back into first
or

feel like it already works like that?

>he doesn't regularly check people's inventories when he's in first, and slam his brakes the second someone has one available.
