I don't mind the new MK, but I do have a few issues that piss me off.

1. The blue shell should still have the ability to hit people between the shooter and 1st place.

2. My most hated change is that the fake item blocks can't be used for defense anymore. Crock of shite.

Change the items to strategic and watch how boring the game gets when it's filled with nothing but red & green shells, bananas and boxes.



Lightnings, stars, and spikies are fine, but the new items on MK Wii are ridiculous, and slow you down much more than any item in the first two versions did. All you did was tumble or slow down slightly with MK.

It's kind of give and take with the change. It doesn't hit everyone, but it does do a big prolonged explosion that can hit multiple people and can't be screwed by shooting into a wall.

I don't like this either, but I would be ok with the change if the fake item blocks looked more like real ones to where people would hit them more without you having to place them pretty much inside of a real one for them to work.

Blue shells are no fun. Neither are three reds or Lightning. It's good for four people who don't care, but there's no such thing as a good win when a blue shell is involved.



The blue shell has gotten even worse since the 64 days. Now it causes an explosion, which takes more than twice the recovery time as it does when hit with a shell, and can take out multiple players as well.

I respectfully disagree, it was the best.

Perfect balance of level design and racing mechanics. You could win using the rubber-band effect items, but needed technical skills to win over the long haul.

Wait, have we even mentioned the awesomeness of balloon battle in MK64?

People always bitch about the bullet until something happens and they're in the back of the pack and get one to push back through. I thought that was the whole point of Mario Kart, you're never out of the race until everyone crosses the finish line. No matter what you always had a chance to get something to catch back up.



The bullet may be the worst item to ever enter a Mario Kart game. Really hope they completely do away with that item, since that one is just plain cheap in every sense of the word.

Blue shells are there to slow down the leader, because let's face it, if you're out front, the only worry you have is the blue shell. If you're stuck in the pack there is so much crap going on it's hard to break free from getting hit by something. I enjoy playing on aggressive items and just letting the craziness happen. If it wasn't for the outlandish items, I may as well just play a NASCAR racing game.



You apparently play with shite players then. When I was out in front, very rarely was a blue shell my only concern.

It took me a while to like battle mode in MK64. Thought it couldn't hold a candle to the SNES. We finally put some time in to it and it was just amazing.

Happens often that shite is going down in the pack then one person makes it out gets out front and then the pack is still beating and banging while the person out front is just driving away with no worries. Nothing to do with shite players, just something that happens and the blue shell nullifies that.

I used to patrol and own the third level like a BOSS, and then rain down red shells on the unsuspecting with a quickness.

Raining down shells was so awesome. Most responses were, "where did that shell even come from?"

Goldeneye was the greatest ever.

leaving remote mines then taunting your opponent to charge you down the hall and then triggering the mines were awesome.

Everyone had that one friend who would set out a bunch and just sit in the vents in complex.

Learning the spawn rotation and planting proximity mines on each spot was troll-tastic.
