smash bros never needed to be taken seriously, let's "hit the brakes" before mario kart goes "down the tubes" as well

mario kart isnt meant to be a skill game, it is a party game. this is what nintendo wants, so that if a teenager is playing against his five year old cousin, it isnt just a stomp because items run the game. CTR is the opposite, where it is all skill, and items play a minimal role

based and luigipilled

In double dash you could set the item mode to either be mild or extreme. You could dodge red shells easily on a turn and if you were good enough you could out snake a blue shell. The only thing that was unstoppable was lightning.
I remember dodging my first blue shell on a turn. Felt magical.
That game definitely punished you heavily for being in 1st to an unfair degree so it was a needed skill.

blue shell is a mechanic, not an item
it is not a comeback mechanic, is it a punishment mechanic
if you get hit by the blue shell, you are playing unskillfully

blue shells are distributed based on the leader's position versus the opponents
if you play multiplayer as if it were a time trial (it is not) just because you're in first, you're an unskilled player
you are supposed to manage your position from the rest of the opponents, and by doing so, you will avoid blue shells and the other punishment items

the leader is the easiest position to play, the chances of getting hit are lowest when you are the leader, you have the pick of all the coins as the leader, you only have two worries as a leader
the first worry is not to make mechanical errors, and guess what, all the other players have to do this too
the second worry is not to go too far ahead, because there are only a couple players capable of hitting you, and they will most likely be second place instead of the most trailing position, if you are a skillful player

tl;dr people that complain about blue shells are garbage players that never learned mario kart's mechanics
go play ctr or something if you want to show off your time trial speeds in multiplayer
when you grow a pair again, feel free to try mario kart

Blue Shell dodging ala Mario Kart DS on 100/150cc needs to come back. That and snaking needs to come back just like Melee wavedashing.

Another fix is to allow the player to get carried 3 places or up to 2nd place and then let go of the shell so it bombs player 1, allowing that person a better chance to win instead of throwing it at 8th place just to bother 1st when they will never catch up.
