The boo is bad? It gives you invincibility, gets rid of someone else's item, and can give you any items regardless of your place. Sounds pretty good to me
The only thing good about it is that you can drive off road. Most of the time you accidentally use it at the wrong time when no one has an item, and it gives you nothing.
El Hermano Are you one of those dickheads who wrongfully steals 1st place because of the shell and then yells "Yeah thats right i win loser! *Rubs nipples with fingers* "
+Nicobbq well I'm a Mario kart expert and I am pretty sure you are too nicco, whenever I see someone with a blue shell I just go back in reverse and have the other person go in front of me and let the person take the hit then I'll know I'll catch up
nah he's right in my opinion ahah 😂 but totally wrong about the peach and daisy one ! you just have to be good enough to not touch bananas like a fool 😎
Here is how I look at the blue-shell. When the computer players use it, its the bane of my existence. However when I'm using it, its like a gift from God.
I hate the modern Blue Shell. In Mario Kart 64 it (sometimes) hits all of the players ahead of you, but sometimes misses every person, so it could be a make-or-break item. Unlike the newer ones, where it's completely OP. Plus a lot of the time I get them in 3rd or 4th and I just get caught in the explosion.
Well it was 1996, what did you expect? But what I'm trying to say is all the items get you ahead or slow down other people behind you or directly in front of you, whereas the Blue Shell only serves to get whatever unlucky soul is in 1st place a one-way ticket to 12th. It just seems kind of cheap to prey on the person who's good at the game.
Jello Pudding I mean suprised they haven't added Kirby like I know link is popular but Kirby acc had a racing game. Only out of place ones would be fire emblem charterers for me. Hope they don't add them...
captain k-manz I don’t want any Fire Emblem characters at all, I don’t want Nintendo to add any more Fire Emblem in Smash as well. Maybe then could add Kirby and have his car be his star.
probably cause of the blue shell rage we have all had to endure, but yea the coin was completely unnecessary to be in an item box, you have them on the track that's all ya need
I remember in Mario Kart DS I used to try and place the fake item boxes right on top of regular item boxes so that they're more easily mistakable, I don't remember how effective that was.
There are mods in mkwii which change the thundercloud to make you bigger (like a mega mushroom). If only nintendo could rework the thundercloud to be like that, then it would be something that you want to try to keep rather than give away!
You could avoid the blue she'll easy if you are in the first place and a player used a blue shell well you could fix that mistake if the second place guy is nearby well just let them get to first place and then the other player and then your save
It takes skills to dodge a blue shell when it's thrown quickly brake and wait for someone to overtake u or brake when it is going to explode u can easily avoid it
Yes, but when you are that good, you probably have skill. Skilled players are supposed to win, that's why it's a game. And then there are the times that you get hit while second place is very close... Ugh... (P. S. Picking Funky Kong in MK wii doesn't take skill, so then im ok with it)
My problem with the coin is that is maxes out at 10, if you're going to have it as an item, don't cap it out at 10! If it was 99 or something then it'd be useful in first place because you could get so fast you start passing by last place racers and then if you get hit with a blue shell you're so far ahead that you can still be in first, and if you're past 12th place then the red shells could hit the wrong person.
StupidMarioBros1Fan IKR its helpful in last because it gives you a little boost but guess what you only get it when you from 4th to 1st place and it's annoying
The thunder cloud creates the chaos in mario kart. And in Mario Kart Wii on moonview highway its amazing because your going faster and weaving in and out of traffic to pass it on to another racer
You get an Item and think, pls give me something that helps me. You get the Cloud and think wow, there is no other driver nearby so the Item punish me for getting the Item Box.
The blue shell was more useful in Mario Kart 64. Instead of flying over everyone and hitting just the person im first place, in MK64, it actually slides on the ground and hits everyone in front of you.
@@dhans9662 i know double dash, ds, and wii for sure dont hit anyone else but 1st place. in 8, although it still flies, it _does_ still have the potential to still hit someone else other than first
I think everyone was expecting the blue shell to be on this list. I get a slight PTSD moment when that thing's let loose, so I somewhat pray, when I'm in first, that no one has the blue shell. Do any Mario Kart veterans or newcomers out there feel the same way about the blue shell?
one, the blue shell was created to balance the gameplay, making it possible for people who have trouble with the game to have a chance at not getting last place. two, i avoid the blue shell alltogether by going into a pit. three, if it is unavoidable, then i try to catch as many people in the blast as possible. if i see it pop up on the bottom screen where the player icons are, i slow down, so someone else gets caught. tactics people.
+megamilesprower The reason it is so annoying, is because it normally only comes up on the last lap when you are in first and you normally dont have the horn, or environmental help. Or if your really skilled, the mushroom dash timing, but still, all these are rare so you normally get hit anyways.
I love the Blue Shell especially in MK Wii because it's so common. I love spending my races is 5th - 7th hitting players with Red Shells, POW's, and of course Blue Shells not to mension squish everyone with the Mega Mushroom then boosting to the top at the end.
the blue shell is a good item, and I'm saying that as a frontrunner. Not only does it help with rubber banding, it creates an opportunity for those who aren't frontrunning to catch up. Also its original purpose was to prevent weird crashes on N64 (something to do with AI distances, not quite sure).
It's worth noting the Blooper (or at least in MK8, dunno about others) greatly affects your enemies' grip, causing drifts to get really inefficient and make some of the more aggressive cart/character combos to drift off course. That's even more annoying threatening to me when I play rather than the ink it sprays.
Here is my list for the Top 10 WORST Mario Kart Items. #10: Blue Spiny Shell (this isn't a bad item, but it doesn't really help the user that much, considering you typically receive this item when you're near the back of the pack.) #9: Fireball (again, not a bad item, but the fireballs don't really travel that far, and they disappear rather quickly.) #8: Super Leaf (I like the idea of having a tail to block incoming items and flip over other players, but the range is too small, and it takes up an item slot.) #7: Green Shell (although mediocre, it serves its purpose to block incoming items, and it flips over players, making it slightly better than the Banana.) #6: Banana (is mediocre, but it does serve its purpose in protecting you from incoming items. The problem is that it is too small of an obstacle. Its effectiveness depends on the game, but it is usually the least effective item.) #5: Bob-omb (is too hard to aim and can be a pain to use. You can block items, but you have to drop the item at the correct timing to avoid getting caught in the explosion.) #4: Super Horn (is basically filler, as Mushroom boosting is a more skillful way of avoiding the Blue Spiny Shell.) #3: Fake Item Box (works in the exact same way a Banana does, only it doesn't block items. Is also easy to spot from the real ones depending on the game.) #2: Coin (There are Coins everywhere on the track, so getting a Coin as an item is pointless. It also doesn't protect you or give you a means of attack.) #1: Thunder Cloud (The only Mario Kart item that actively harms you more than it helps. It can also be hard to pass the cloud off to another racer, especially online. What's worse is the fact that you can obtain this item in the middle positions.)
I really don't hate the blue shell as much as everyone else, and I've taken *a lot* of them. The thing I don't like is when they cause you to lose at the last possible second of a race. THAT is when it crosses the line into my dislike list. It's good for when the leader is far ahead, as it can set them back a bit, which is why I disagree with number 1.
look, If you are playing for wii or wii u there are twelve characters racing. If you are in 12th place it does not help you at all because you are so far behind!!!!!!!
Catherine Vial I understand that, but I believe you're more likely to get bullet bills, lightning bolts, or golden mushrooms than you are to get a blue shell. I wouldn't know though, I haven't played online in forever and I wouldn't lose to computers, and the Wii and MKW I play isn't mine, so I can't just install CTGP on it.
Nice list. I clicked this video because I wanted to see blue shell at top of the list. It's extremely frustrating to see all the races where I was hit by a blue shell shortly in front of the finish line or even today in MKDD in multiple races where I was hit by two blue shells in a row. All these cases destroy minutes of winning achievement effort!! Except for Yoshi egg and the heart, I really second this list. In my experience the items from the Yoshi egg rather helped me than the opponent and the hearts allow you to collect special items from other players but cannot help against explosions. CPUs are usually too lazy to collect stars on the road. However, the POW-Block and Boo item are not as useless as you might think. The pow block makes all people lose their items which drive on the ground while the Boo let's you drive over grass and other terrain without slowing down (in MKDS). I would suggest the Tanooki Tail for 10th place instead.
The thing that bothers me about the heart power up that Peach and Daisy use in Double Dash is that it's overpowered. So basically you can win almost every race by just playing as Peach and Daisy.
The POW Block could have been at least a decent item, but one feature single handedly ruins it: the fact that you can shake the Wiimote to weaken the effect. It isn't a terrible item, it was just executed poorly.
4:11 that item isn’t bad, it’s OP. If you get hit by someone, you not only survive the hit without any damage, but you also get the item. And keep in mind that it includes OTHER SPECIAL ITEMS.
I kind of see why the Yoshi Egg is on here. Two of the items it releases are a Mushroom and a Star, and the opponent you hit can pick it up. However, it also releases three other items, which are a Green Shell, a Banana, and a Bob-omb. It's an okay item, I suppose.
Oh Come on! The boo is a great item! You are invisible for 10 seconds, which is longer than the star, you can drive through obstacles and other players, you can dodge literally anything and it steals an item.
But if you are in 1st and the player who is in 2nd you let them past you YOU MIGHT THINK IT WILL COME FOR THEM BUT THE BLUE SHELL IS SMART AND COMES TO YOU
10: It reappeared in MK8DX’s battle mode and is actually useful 9: This is useful anytime you get it in 1st place because it breaks on it’s own overtime 8: In Mario Kart 64, it doesn’t even steal an item, instead it gives you an item that’s based on your position 7: Still, it get’s rid of people’s items if their on the ground. 6: Well, you were going to get hit by a banana and the heart picks it up. 5: The blooper still slows down CPUs in the other games, so it’s a bit useful in those, plus in the newer games, you actually drift more outwards while effected by the blooper ink. 2: Maybe if the coin counter didn’t cap at 10, then it’d be a little useful, I guess. 1: That’s why item smuggling exists.
Yep blue shell is a terrible item. Yes it attacks the 1st place player, but it doesn’t help you. Luckily they actually balanced it better in Mario Kart 8. It can hit other people along the way and you have 2 items to counter it instead of one. So blue shell is technically not as useful if you’re hitting 1st place player and might be more helpful to get ahead a couple places. Boo item is actually very good for an item. You might steal items, you turn invisible, and you’re invincible as well.
Theres a lot of ways to block the blue shell, especially since item smuggling is more common nowadays. Mushroom, Triple Mushroom, Golden Shroom, Super Horn, Star, Boo, Bullet Bill, Piranha Plant [I believe], not to mention dropping out of first, or if you're on lap three, beat it to the finish line.
I think the main problem with the Blue Shell is that its gotten in very low ranks, where it wouldn't help you at all since normally the player on the lead is miles away from you. Also, it's a really good thing they made the Blue Shell obtainable depending on the distance of the leader (player in first) rather than strictly the placement of the item owner. Because why would you care about hitting the leader if you're in... say, 10th place?
here’s my list: 10: green shell(no walls = no use) 9: cape feather(it only lets you jump high) 8: boo(it’s not that bad) 7: blooper(it’s better effective on cpu’s) 6: heart(better then egg because it’s a shield) 5: egg(it’s worse then the heart because it can give anyone an item) 4: fake block(if placed well(like behind a real one)then it’s ok) 3: cloud(the fact that it activates in it’s own) 2: coin(it’s a surprise if that it’s not number one on the list) 1: mini muschroom(if it’s an item, then it will be on this list)
The boo is bad? It gives you invincibility, gets rid of someone else's item, and can give you any items regardless of your place. Sounds pretty good to me
And slows down the lead racer in Super Circuit
youre right why nicobbq why boo was bad?
Boo is bad why it's just ten secs and when some one is up. Close in 10 secs. Your fun is now rage
You can also drive off-road, which can give you a huge advantage in many maps.
The only thing good about it is that you can drive off road. Most of the time you accidentally use it at the wrong time when no one has an item, and it gives you nothing.
Am I the only one who puts the fake boxes on top of the real ones?
No.
No, it's a classic.
Do you REALLY think you are the only one??? Like no one has ever done that??
nope
Nope
Blue Shell is good... When you are in second place :P

Hey stop calling my favorite character's stuff stupid!
Here is how I look at the blue-shell. When the computer players use it, its the bane of my existence. However when I'm using it, its like a gift from God.
why? It doesn't help you get further ahead. It screws the person in first and lets somebody else take his place.
KnightRaymund True, but it stalls the one for a short amount of time so you still have somewhat of a chance.
I hate the modern Blue Shell. In Mario Kart 64 it (sometimes) hits all of the players ahead of you, but sometimes misses every person, so it could be a make-or-break item. Unlike the newer ones, where it's completely OP. Plus a lot of the time I get them in 3rd or 4th and I just get caught in the explosion.
Scott Krafft Yeah but its the exact opposite for red shells. In Mario Kart 64, they never work.
Well it was 1996, what did you expect? But what I'm trying to say is all the items get you ahead or slow down other people behind you or directly in front of you, whereas the Blue Shell only serves to get whatever unlucky soul is in 1st place a one-way ticket to 12th. It just seems kind of cheap to prey on the person who's good at the game.
The coin is the only “worse” item in all Mario games! I mean, it is the most worse power up! If used as a power up, 👎
It is so bad if it gave 5 coins then maybe but it only gives 2 and coins aren’t that helpful

MrDarksword123 The Blue Shell is #1 because it is everything that is wrong with Mario Kart.
is correct!
I'd take the coin over the thundercloud any day.
Then Nintendo brings back the feather and the boo item in mariokart 8 deluxe...
I love that the boo is OP and the feather gives you a small speed boost when you land and you can steal balloons and coins
And they are now viable!
I said that
MTG Apollo B-but......
Harry Edwardson it was never in the Wii u version
sometimes I say "why is the coin even in the game!?" in ager

I got a coin in last once
Why ? I know that feel.
OMG ikr
Why
Why!!!
It's because that was a really close race. Item power is decided by distance between you and the people up ahead.
Thundercloud has to be number one.
Oh yeah! I hate the (bad word) Thundercloud!
It just hurts U
There are mods in mkwii which change the thundercloud to make you bigger (like a mega mushroom). If only nintendo could rework the thundercloud to be like that, then it would be something that you want to try to keep rather than give away!

EXACTLY If im always first without the blue shell in the game i would always win with the blue shell someone else can win
In some cases the blue shell can be good, like in casual play. But for high level races, it's nothing but a pure nuisance.
What if the racers in the lead are all in a bunch? 1st place just lost because of dumb luck, and the person who got the shell is still way behind.

I really don't hate the blue shell as much as everyone else, and I've taken *a lot* of them. The thing I don't like is when they cause you to lose at the last possible second of a race. THAT is when it crosses the line into my dislike list. It's good for when the leader is far ahead, as it can set them back a bit, which is why I disagree with number 1.
Same, it REALLY helps the player who is just looking for some fun in Mario Kart
look, If you are playing for wii or wii u there are twelve characters racing.
If you are in 12th place it does not help you at all because you are so far behind!!!!!!!
(for the blue shell)
Catherine Vial I understand that, but I believe you're more likely to get bullet bills, lightning bolts, or golden mushrooms than you are to get a blue shell. I wouldn't know though, I haven't played online in forever and I wouldn't lose to computers, and the Wii and MKW I play isn't mine, so I can't just install CTGP on it.
Nice list. I clicked this video because I wanted to see blue shell at top of the list. It's extremely frustrating to see all the races where I was hit by a blue shell shortly in front of the finish line or even today in MKDD in multiple races where I was hit by two blue shells in a row. All these cases destroy minutes of winning achievement effort!! Except for Yoshi egg and the heart, I really second this list. In my experience the items from the Yoshi egg rather helped me than the opponent and the hearts allow you to collect special items from other players but cannot help against explosions. CPUs are usually too lazy to collect stars on the road.
However, the POW-Block and Boo item are not as useless as you might think. The pow block makes all people lose their items which drive on the ground while the Boo let's you drive over grass and other terrain without slowing down (in MKDS). I would suggest the Tanooki Tail for 10th place instead.
The thing that bothers me about the heart power up that Peach and Daisy use in Double Dash is that it's overpowered. So basically you can win almost every race by just playing as Peach and Daisy.
The cape feather is going to be in Mario kart 8 deluxe lol
guhgamer 222 what the fuck?
Michael Cianciaroso I know xD
But only in Battle Mode.

Why do coins have to be in item boxes?😡
I just love it when I get a coin as an item! It speeds me up! So stop hating the coin item!!!
@@kaydenblackburn4721 I think everyone is not hating it as an item, but rather it's placement, like no-one needed 80 coins in 1 match, apparently.
The POW Block could have been at least a decent item, but one feature single handedly ruins it: the fact that you can shake the Wiimote to weaken the effect. It isn't a terrible item, it was just executed poorly.
You have to admit though, Mario Kart wont be the same without blue shells.
You cannot defend yourself from blue shell in older games? How about a star Power up?
well how often do you have a star in first place?
get a star in 6th place get in first place with star use it when blue shell or mushroom use it when there is a blue shell
Jake Cashell that means luck?
Yeah! That'll work! :D
"Blue Shell Is The Worst Item"
Coin: Am I A Joke To You?
Thunder Cloud: Am I A Joke To You?
4:11 that item isn’t bad, it’s OP. If you get hit by someone, you not only survive the hit without any damage, but you also get the item. And keep in mind that it includes OTHER SPECIAL ITEMS.
nicobbq is that why you made that song thats Called not another blue Shell?
Coin should have been #1
King Ringsting:you forgot my power of outrunning them for the entire race
Blue shell when the person in 1st place has a super horn: *I FEEL HELPLESS!*
Haha Cape Feather and Boo is back boi. MARIO Kart 8 deluxe
Boo's great, but the feather is useless
Killer Kirby it's only in battle mode and is good in that since you steal a balloon if you use it correctly
rip Boo in races
Killer Kirby boos on races capefeathers not
yas
Is that a french canadian accent?
It is he lives in Canada
When you see somebody throw a bomb and then they get stuck inside of it: *Wait, this whole operation was your idea.*
If someone is near you, and a blue shell is there, you can back up and the shell will take other guy.
The feather item never appeared again
MK8D would like to speak with you
In Mario kart I drive better with the blooper
I kind of see why the Yoshi Egg is on here. Two of the items it releases are a Mushroom and a Star, and the opponent you hit can pick it up. However, it also releases three other items, which are a Green Shell, a Banana, and a Bob-omb. It's an okay item, I suppose.
Thank you for putting Mario Kart 64 music in the intro
I was expecting the coin to be at #1
Yeah, if you thought the thunder cloud was bad, wait till you see coins, there somehow worse and more obnoxious.
Totaly agree with all items on the list.
I
The blue shield helps people catch up by it going on the ground. If it doesn't go on the ground it's practically useless.

Am I and Nathaniel Bandy the only people who passionately love the Blue Shell?
i like it too
+Jaden Buck I'm a fan of the blue she'll too
Nope. I Like the blue she'll too and my names Nathanael too.
Seeing the same person constantly on 1st place far forward protected by a green shell and three bananas in the back is fucking boring.
Yeah, good to see we got a cult surrounding the Blue Shell.
0:03 pause to line up the mushrooms.
For the Blue Shell, if you're not really far away (10+ seconds distance), brake. Let a computer take your place.
the fake box is awesome - when it looks more like the real ones.
2019 anyone?
0:55 It appeared in Mario Kart 8 deluxe
It came after the video was uploaded dumbass
The Boo is one of the best items! I once used a Boo and i got a star and in a few seconds
i was in first place!
Oh Come on! The boo is a great item! You are invisible for 10 seconds, which is longer than the star, you can drive through obstacles and other players, you can dodge literally anything and it steals an item.
#6: WHAT?!?!
YEH THE HEART ITEM IS AMAZING
Ik right
the blue show you can avoid it when you're next to the second player and then go behind him and then the blue show hit him instead
*the blue show*
Athan Mesa It doesn‘t work every time
But if you are in 1st and the player who is in 2nd you let them past you YOU MIGHT THINK IT WILL COME FOR THEM BUT THE BLUE SHELL IS SMART AND COMES TO YOU
9:20 Same Here!
Niccobbq: Says there is no way to dodge the blue shell in older games
Every speed item: Am I a joke to you?
You can also dodge the blue shell by doing a well-timed mini turbo in Mario kart DS.
@@nathanielcantey8820 I didn't know that but still proves my point that you can dodge it
Who hate the pow block?
I hate you
Meee
Daisy is amazing and I LOVE her.
I like the Heart thing.

I hate her tbh
+The Bubbs And Lady show
Please don't talk to me.
Ok you don't have to be mean
10: It reappeared in MK8DX’s battle mode and is actually useful
9: This is useful anytime you get it in 1st place because it breaks on it’s own overtime
8: In Mario Kart 64, it doesn’t even steal an item, instead it gives you an item that’s based on your position
7: Still, it get’s rid of people’s items if their on the ground.
6: Well, you were going to get hit by a banana and the heart picks it up.
5: The blooper still slows down CPUs in the other games, so it’s a bit useful in those, plus in the newer games, you actually drift more outwards while effected by the blooper ink.
2: Maybe if the coin counter didn’t cap at 10, then it’d be a little useful, I guess.
1: That’s why item smuggling exists.
The blue shell is "The Great Equalizer" but I hate it as well😂
Nathanial Bandy said: mariokart was meant to be unfair, so people should be okay with the blue shell
Like if you agree
Well tough luck dude
Team MM i agree that what make the game fun and competitive
Team MM I disagree
I agree
Team MM I agree mostly, but they're especially awful in MKWii when you're just about to cross the finish line in 150cc…
1:29 Who else feels bad for 1st place guy.
HOPE HE HAD A HORN :P
"You have to hope blue shells don't hit you" immediately gets hit by one
(8:08)
nicobbq: the feather was only in super mario kart
me: uhh its im mk8 battle mode lol
Yep blue shell is a terrible item. Yes it attacks the 1st place player, but it doesn’t help you. Luckily they actually balanced it better in Mario Kart 8. It can hit other people along the way and you have 2 items to counter it instead of one. So blue shell is technically not as useful if you’re hitting 1st place player and might be more helpful to get ahead a couple places.
Boo item is actually very good for an item. You might steal items, you turn invisible, and you’re invincible as well.
Theres a lot of ways to block the blue shell, especially since item smuggling is more common nowadays. Mushroom, Triple Mushroom, Golden Shroom, Super Horn, Star, Boo, Bullet Bill, Piranha Plant [I believe], not to mention dropping out of first, or if you're on lap three, beat it to the finish line.
I think the main problem with the Blue Shell is that its gotten in very low ranks, where it wouldn't help you at all since normally the player on the lead is miles away from you.
Also, it's a really good thing they made the Blue Shell obtainable depending on the distance of the leader (player in first) rather than strictly the placement of the item owner. Because why would you care about hitting the leader if you're in... say, 10th place?
what about bananas they suck too
No. Its Amazing In Old Version You Can Get 3!!!! and win
Hi_again.exe
Bananas can break shells
bananas are just used for defense against shells if you ask me.
here’s my list:
10: green shell(no walls = no use)
9: cape feather(it only lets you jump high)
8: boo(it’s not that bad)
7: blooper(it’s better effective on cpu’s)
6: heart(better then egg because it’s a shield)
5: egg(it’s worse then the heart because it can give anyone an item)
4: fake block(if placed well(like behind a real one)then it’s ok)
3: cloud(the fact that it activates in it’s own)
2: coin(it’s a surprise if that it’s not number one on the list)
1: mini muschroom(if it’s an item, then it will be on this list)
1:22 EXACTLY which is why there isn't a cape feather in those games
the blue shell sucks
