MKWii blue shells, specifically. I have no idea why Nintendo wanted to punish people for being in first place, it rarely even helps the person who gets it since second place can't get the shell.

It usually doesn't even help second place either. Most of the time, people in first place don't leave first place.

Silver Coins were worse.

But as I've said many times before, even though Blue Shells are annoying, they are a necessary evil. Without them, there would be absolutely nothing to stop a skilled player in first place.

I know, but there ought to be a way for second and third place to stop first place, not an unstoppable death shot from eighth place. Maybe increase the frequency of mushrooms in second and third or something.

My problem isn't even so much with Blue Shells as it is with Blue Shells combined with the ranking system. I need a certain rank to unlock stuff, but then you knock my rank down despite any resemblance of skill with your damn blue shells.

I f****** hate blue shells. Especially when I'm on a 3rd lap with the finish line in sight.

Seriously, giving second and third mushrooms would be great. So many shortcuts to take and catch up. Also I think first should have a low chance of getting a single mushroom to have a chance at avoiding those goddamn blue shells.

Yeah if you want racing you have to go for F-Zero. Good luck finding an F-Zero game in the next 30 years though.

It's called "Give 2nd-4th place racers better items."

You know, like Mario Kart 64 did.

Also, increasing the number of racers increased the frequency just by design.

The games definitely need better item balance. And defending shouldn't so stupidly easy.

But the topic brought up was, "why Nintendo wanted to punish people for being in first place", and that's exactly the reason.

Nah. I take shortcuts when i get these bad boys. Make you travel through any terrain at max unboosted speed and give you 100% acceleration. Just gotta get rid of them in time.

I never tried how they say to do in the Mario Kart Wii video, but I know the Double Dash technique works in DD.

The only way to avoid in Wii is to have a mushroom, hit cannon or big launch pad while its homing on you, or run over a mushroom on the floor at the exact right moment.

Gran Turmiso 3 could have been the best of the series, but instead they went and did that...
