    Just a quick correction - it looks like in the newest Mario Kart games that the Bob-Omb actually doesn't seem to hurt you if another player detonates it from behind. Good to know!

      TheJWittz hey jwittz will you do a top 10 on fanfiction

    • @charl2164
      @charl2164 7 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      TheJWittz if you keep the blue shell in your inventory and don't use it the player in first will back out behind second to avoid it, then the player in second will realize what's going on and back out too, soon the rest of the players will catch up and all be clumped together. Then simply pass all of them and if someone does manage to get ahead you have a killing machine ready to strike.

      Correction: Blooper actually sucks alot more because after Mario Kart 8, it gives you more slippery physics.

    Actually, one of my favorite things to do is put a fake item box INSIDE of a real one. It works really well.

    @AeroBlaze777 6 ปีที่แล้ว +180

    The real benefit of the POW block was making everyone drop their items ahead of you. If you were able to chain it into a Mega Mushroom or maybe triple shrooms this gives you a huge advantage.

    • @zerito2374
      @zerito2374 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Also the fact that if you use it while someone is taking a tricky turn they'll usually crash and lose valuable time, heck even if you time it just about right you can lead an opponent to a cliff and boom free place.

    • @jordandeadley360
      @jordandeadley360 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @doczombiex

  • @jasonvalentino395
    @jasonvalentino395 7 ปีที่แล้ว +308

    Personally I dont think the idea of a coin being an item is bad. It was the execution that was bad. The problem is that it was just WAY too common.

    • @BurmudaTriangleTV
      @BurmudaTriangleTV 7 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      If I were a dev, I'd make the coin item give you three coins at once.

    • @starflame34
      @starflame34 7 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      That and it's just ONE coin! If it was like 5 coins and your about to pass the finish line with only like 3 coins, then that's something at least.

    • @sonic26000
      @sonic26000 7 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Like...remove it as a possibility if you're already maxed out on coins, like how you're never gonna get a Golden Mushroom in first place.

    • @Mattgamer003
      @Mattgamer003 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I think the coin item would be cooler if it could break the coin limit

    • @jasonvalentino395
      @jasonvalentino395 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Cars2RCool- I think it is 2 coins.

  • @MrJechgo
    @MrJechgo 7 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    One thing to note about the Blooper: the AI racers aren't affected much by it. They just start to zig zag along the track... but oddly enough, they can still drive through sharp turns and narrow passways.

      What does the Boo item do?

    • @argentum1738
      @argentum1738 7 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      The Boo item turns you invisible, intangible, and gives you a slight speed boost (so you're unhindered by offroad). While you're invisible, the Boo seeks out a racer who haves an item, steals their item and give it to you. Shortly after receiving your item, you will go back to normal. If no one has an item when you use Boo, he will return empty handed. This item was also in Mario Kart DS (and I think another one but not entirely sure).

    The blue shell is actually useful in a race with teams, as it can be used to blast the first player when they are on the other team, so a teammate can come first and win the team more points.

    Fake item boxes should be the same aesthetically to regular ones except to the user. The user should also just go through it if they hit it which could tip off observant opponents

    Lightning bolt was brutal on the N64. Everybody first got hit (no avoiding possible unless under the effect of a star), lost their item, shrunk down and slowed down, and on top of that, if the player who launched the lighting bolt drove over a shrunken down player it would be squeezed and float in the air for aboit 3 times the length of a banastrike.
    N64 Mario kart eas definitely the most brutal mario kart ever. I still play it. You could launch other players off the map into glitching by simply hitting them with a green or red shell.
    I wish they made the gameplay so brutal and vicious again.
    Please make skme kind of nostalgic review aboit this Jwitzz

    • @joshuahoey5761
      @joshuahoey5761 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It was most brutal in Super Mario Kart. Lasted longer than all of the other games, spun you out, made you lose everything, could drive over others, shrink time is equal for everyone, but was by far the hardest item to get in that game. When you got one, the feeling was incredible

  • @charliehardcastle8432
    @charliehardcastle8432 7 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    i think hot potato could be a good idea for battle mode, so heres what happens, there 10 players, you spin a wheel to see who gets the thunder cloud 1st, and then all the players ride around passing the thunder cloud to eachother, the thundercloud takes a whole minute until it stikes, who ever it stikes is out, then the wheel spins again to see who is it for round 2, now with 9 players because 1 was elliminated, all the way down to 2 players, last player standing, wins

    • @VMan776
      @VMan776 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      TNF101 Maybe make it 20 seconds? Otherwise it would just drag on.

    • @charliehardcastle8432
      @charliehardcastle8432 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeah but it would get round like 2 players and then it will be time to spin the wheel again

    • @DaNintendude
      @DaNintendude 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The person with the Thundercloud should get a speed boost as well.

  • @StarlightDemonIV
    @StarlightDemonIV 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The Blooper- or squidgie as I like to call them- are a lot more effective in 8 Deluxe due to the ink taking up more of the screen (sometimes you get lucky and get a small ink splat on you), and apparently it gives you more slippery driving physics.

  • @HammerBro101
    @HammerBro101 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The Blue Spiny Shell isn't that bad, but its usefulness depends on the game. Say you're in last place and you get the Blue Spiny Shell for example. You'll want to play a Mario Kart where it stays low to the ground so it can hit other players.

  • @mariomasv
    @mariomasv 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    i think the bomb is amazing. i love sniping with it, and the fact that it walks makes it even better. correct me if im mistaken, but in mario kart 8 it can block shells as well.

  • @Quintingent
    @Quintingent 7 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    I'd argue that MK8's version of the triple banana is actually worse than the single banana. At least the single one can reliable protect you, whereas I swear that the triple banana has let in more shots than it's protected me from. But oh it's TOTALLY worth it to lay three easily avoidable mild inconveniences.

    • @Raikuthedragon
      @Raikuthedragon 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    • @vaporterra

      triple items were fun, unless you were getting three red shells throw at you.

    • @KellyLeet528
      @KellyLeet528 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I KNOW RIGHT? One time I was playing Mario Kart 8 and a red shell was coming.
      I thought I wouldn't get hit because I had the triple banana. However, the triple banana let me get hit and I
      lost the race.

  • @liverpudliandream2299
    @liverpudliandream2299 7 ปีที่แล้ว +127

    Actually, I consider the fake item box one of the best items in the games. Why?
    Just hide it directly in front of a regular box, and it's a banana that makes whoever lose the item they just got.

    • @vaporterra
      @vaporterra 7 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Or, put an item box diagonal to a banana when you pass it so the next person tries to avoid one and falls into the other. Item clusters can be deadly late in a race.

  • @Vaguer_Weevil
    @Vaguer_Weevil 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I noticed the fake block wasn't in Mario Kart 8, more of a relief than anything. The Blooper would be better (Or.. Worse, I guess?) if the ink covered the screen in a way that makes racers have tunnel vision, making them not be able to see what's coming from other angles.

  • @fatardica
    @fatardica 7 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Blooper in MK7 and 8 got buffed pretty good from DS and Wii to cover the screen better, not to mention the lowered traction in 8 makes it a little more annoying.

    • @FireSonicYT
      @FireSonicYT 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeah, I have actually fallen off a few times on mk8 because of the blooper...

  • @SwimYBO
    @SwimYBO 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The POW block is a great item because you can target people on sharp corners if you actually know what you're doing and it also causes everyone to lose their item. The thundercloud doesn't just boost your speed, it also gives instant acceleration if you get hit. True, it sucks to be shrunk, but it's also strategic because it's not always the best strategy to always go for a box no matter what.

  • @gh8078

      Thundercloud, exclusive for Battle Mode or a Battle Mode themed around it like Hot Potato.
      Fake Item Box, it will look exactly the same as an Item Box, no inversion of question mark, but it only reveals itself as you get really close to it by turning red.
      Super Leaf, instead of manual activation, its automatic when used, blocks incoming items and hurts racers that get near it, has a duration.

      The Fake Item Box is not crap, a Fake Item Box is an item found in the Mario Kart series. They resemble regular Item Boxes, but they do not bestow items to karts that pass through them- instead, the kart will crash. Fake Item Boxes are generally obtained by racers near the front of the race, being used as traps similarly to Bananas; however, after Mario Kart 64, Fake Item Boxes cannot block incoming shells.

    9: If it doesn’t hit, it stays on the track and detonates when someone except for the person who threw it bumps into it.
    8: Have the items get magnetized towards you when it hits another racer.
    7: This item is just meant to be useless. Nuff said.
    6: Have it only be accessible when you’re in the top 4.
    5: Have it look like a red item box with it’s question mark upside in the user’s POV, but have it look identical to a regular item box in other player’s POV.
    4: If it hits, the players will be knocked back.
    3: Have it double your current coin count.
    2: Next to the blooper item box, a slot with the other racers will be shown and whoever it lands on will get the blooper, and it actually makes the screen almost pitch black.
    1: Have it lock on to the person closest to you, and you can’t be given it back.

    And for the spiny shell, it really can help. If you think about it, it goes down the middle, like a bullet bill power up, and if it hits someone who is in the middle, it hurts them, like a bullet bill power up, except it goes all the way to the front and blows up 1st place.

    I just got MarioKart 8, and when I got the blooper, because I didn't know the course, I SLAMMED into the corner in Bowser's Castle, sure that it was another entrance.

      Lake Jones that's a strategy in Mario kart 7, watch for items and when you someone has a blue shell, stop and wait for someone to pass you

    Double Dash will always be the best Mario Cart.

      Mario kart DS has something to say about that

    I mean, the Blooper still has a bit of use. You may remember the course, but you don't remember the bananas that everyone laid down. Especially when it covers over half the screen in some instances.

    The bob-omb CAN block incoming shells though. I've done it many times. You just have to drop it at the perfect time to intercept the shell, and the explosion won't hit you.
