Mario Kart 7

^Anyone who keeps a blue shell for the entire race pisses me off (if I don't have a lead), but it doesn't break any "rules" (lol, rules in MK). I make sure whoever does this gets his butt kicked in the next race, however (not by trolling him with items, though; I don't do that).

I don't understand why you started being a jerk to me after the whole MnK incident. I never wanted you to leave, and I never insulted you either. Now, you are just posting stupid comments, while a few other users have already mentioned your immaturity.

Lightning does tend to keep things in check. I've seen a lot of people who tried to hold on great items for a long time just end up losing them when Lightning hits.

This even happens when they try to hold on to something to protect Lightning. If it's used fast enough, it catches almost everybody off guard. Ironically, they get away with it more if the person who gets Lightning decides to hold on to it.

The removal of the Fake Item really damaged this game's item system- everything 2nd can get 1st can block it completely, AND 2nd has the added handicap of defending their place from 3rd, which is where the better items begin to spawn (3-Reds and 3-Mushrooms) so they can't use their items all of the time.

Yeah. I agree. I don't think the POW Block should have been removed either. A lot of people complained about there being too many items that affected everyone in the race, but it wasn't that bad (especially since it was easy to avoid spinning out completely when it hit you) and it's quite clear in this game that it did an important job of keeping item use more balanced.

Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean? Hsu

Mario Kart Wii's item distribution is not the best in the series, notably with lightnings being abused in clan wars, but it was still better than MK7. People do not realize how dumb is MK7's system - it's dumb because you basically never lose your item.



– Ways to LOSE your item –


MKWii:

.hit by a Blue Shell
.electrocuted by a Lightning Cloud
.electrocuted by a Lightning Bolt
.hit by a Bob-omb
.crushed by a Mega Mushroom
.hit by a Bullet Bill
.hit by a Star
.POW Block (on land)
.falling
.any severe track obstacle

+ Most equipped items [red shell, green shell, banana / triple bananas, bob-omb hold behind your vehicle] will be LOST upon entering in contact with a light track obstacle (like a banana, a crab or whatever)


MK7:

.electrocuted by a Lightning Bolt
.falling

Equipped items will not be lost upon entering in contact with a light track obstacle

This. That's why I don't even stop anymore...if they want to hold their blue, go ahead and do so; I'm not going to give up an entire lead just because some guy in last wants to make it up to the front of the pack. I'd rather give up two or three places rather than six or seven.
