I'm confused as to why anyone is complaining about this Blue Shell
it's easily the best. Now it's not like being in first place is a punishment, because it hits the people behind you as well. Rad explains it the best. Also how the Blue Shell never benefitted the person using it before, now it actually does.
Also, the reason why MKW was terrible as hell with item annoyances wasn't because the items existed. It was because of the 12-player system making those items happen all the time. Argh I don't know how many times I've been hit with a huuuge chain of items hitting me one after another. (Blue Shell + Red Shell + Lightning very common)
