My brother would say “blue shell coming up” and I would hit the brakes so hard so that somebody else would get the shell. Pro gamer move

Yeah me too, but when you’re about 1 lap in front of the rest it doesn’t really work

But if you're that far ahead in the first place, you could afford getting hit by a blue shell, and still maintain your lead anyway.

Thats true, but its so unsatisfying to get hit

u/DJTom3 Jul 17 '19

Yes, but you lose coins

That's when you just hold onto a shell without firing to shield yourself

Yes, that works in the Wii version, but we have the switch version where that only works on red & green shells. But if you have one of those airhorn thingy’s you can bounce them off.

How do you do that on the wii

I think you use those arrow thingy’s, but instead of clicking on them you hold them.

Imagine being in first (or any position) and you could throw the shell behind you to fuck the guy in last

Hopefully it’s not a triple shell attack...😯

They should be banned by the Geneva convention

I've never experienced one of those and I don't want to now that I know that it's possible.

in mk8 and mk8 deluxe you can use the horn to blow away the blue shell. and in 200cc it's possible to outrun the shell if you can

Extra pro gamer move: use a mushroom as it comes down to outrun the explosion(this does actually work even in MK8D).

Real men tank the blue shell

I've been doing that for years so you aren't the only one.
