Is that just in this game? There's finally a way to avoid it?

The blue shells add a little comedy to the game. They're so annoying you have to laugh.

Oh those Blue shells >< I HATE them. And in this game it seems they can hit others than the person in first place D=<

I'm getting this game myself tomorrow, so I can't wait xD

Shit, I didn't even know that the game came out.
I'm a total Mario Kart freak, so I'm definitely getting it.

Is this game a fucker like the other ones with the blue shells always hitting you when you're a finger from the finish line?

Does anyone know how to unlock Rosalina? I heard you have to complete Super Mario Galaxy to do it =/

From what i understand, Rosalina should be unlocked if you have a mario galaxy file saved on your wii.


I cant wait to pick mine up tomorrow, Im in the States, so I dont get it until then. Dont worry though, I'll be on the leaderboards soon enough . Same name you see on the forum.

The blue shells always affected other racers, not just in the wii game. If you were close enough the explosion hit you. Also in the N64 version, it could smack you as it flew by. I know its dodgeable in Double Dash version, but its so hard and alot depends on luck.

So, Mario Kart isn't out in the States yet? I was wondering why me and my brother weren't picking up any Americans on the Wifi xD

Nah, you could do that very same thing on Double Dash. It doesn't negate the blue shell. You still lose some time. Timing the landing for the boost certainly helps you salvage a little time, at least.

You can dodge the blue shell if you acquire a mushroom or hit a speed ramp just as its above you.

Ive just unlocked my seventh expert ghost, 1 more for baby Luigi.

If the second place racer is close behind, I'll just step on the brake a little and allow them to pass me. The blue shell should go after them instead. Slowing down probably isn't as bad as getting hit.
