Isn't the Blue Shell what is in Mario Kart Wii?

if you meant the Wii version, they were at least more original than Mario Kart: Double Dash or DS which mostly just used the same ideas for courses as 64

I completely agree with KKslider on the AI in MKDS and the courses in MKW. I don't see how you can call the courses in MKW bland, that game had the best and most original courses in the series.
@Tokyored The blue shell (Spiny shell is its real name) has been in every Mario kart except the first one.

I hope they make the blue shell more common. The internet's reaction would be amazing.

Maybe they should make every item as broken as the blue shell, just to make the blue shell seem fair.

YES. Oh god that would be hilarious and awesome.

The Purple Shell, targets the person in last place for no particular reason. xD

Only if that is the official description of the item. Including the xD.

I also thought it could travel on ground like the old Blue Shell and purposely goes through any other racer as well.

My wishlist for Mario Kart 7:

  • Full of overpowered and unfair items like the blue shell
  • Frequent item boxes so everyone gets hit every ten seconds
  • Lots of reviewers give the game a perfect score

If all that happens, I might just have to buy two copies.

I really like using a bike in MKWii. Jet Bubble is my favorite.

I guess you didn't play 150cc mode on the DS game, it's pretty broken. The entire routine of the AI structure puts 1 AI car in 1st with about a 2sec lead, constantly. Then breaking the basics of rules in Mario Kart of kill the leader, instead, 1st place as it should tries to hold you back, but karts 3rd-last don't bother with the leader, they all single mindedly pick on you the human kart driver. That to me is not a challenge, it's not a good routine, it's just broken AI using a cheap way to create difficulty. Previous Mario Kart games just upped the ante on beating on everyone, this one broke the mold and made it an everyone against the 2nd place racer mode in 150cc. Between that and all the hacks, cheats, and the debatable snaking crap I sold the game off as I got sick of doing all the up to 100cc stuff and other modes.

And yeah I know some of the GC game is similar to the N64, but the Wii courses bored me far more than those did.

Bikes are nice but I prefer Karts over Bikes (it is called Mario Kart). It isn't Mario Kart without in the truest since if Bikes are taking over. Anyway, with the coins being brought back into circulation for the first time since the very first Mario Kart title I think that Mario Kart 7 is more like a return to the roots of the Mario Kart franchise heritage in a way less or more all while changing up the experience with gliders and underwater travel.

Why is there soo much hate for the Blue shell?
It what sets MarioKart from the other Kart like games.

These items are designed to give those in last place the greatest chance of receiving some of the ultimate items, so to speak. These include the Blue Shell, the Golden Mushroom, and Lightning. They are the great equalizers of Mariokart, they give you a fighting chance when all hope is lost.

That or you're such a huge fan of the series you're happy being consciously or not an apologist who can overlook such problems with that DS title. Probably best to leave it at that because we're not going to agree, and pre-this site people I've brought it up to a few years ago when it was newer saw it too.

Can we simply focus on Mario Kart 7 instead of spilling dirt? This thread isn't exactly a dirt road contest. Let us simply agree to disagree instead of telling one person to this arguing in order to win a needless argument.

LOL!, That is so funny . Please Calm down guys.

I did not see any bikes in this Mario Kart so I am not so sure I want to buy Mario Kart for the 3DS, The only reason I asked my mother to buy the Wii is because of Mario Kart Wii and the reason why is because it has bikes. I was very disappointed that this Mario Kart had zero bikes, its no fun without the bikes, come on! Anyway lets hope the next Mario Kart for 3DS after this one that is coming out will have bikes.

I never ever bought the Mario Kart for the regular DS because it had no bikes, I even posted on another forum with a petition saying that I would not buy any Mario Kart games unless it had bikes in the game and asking other Nintendo fans to sign with me, which we all did, looks like we got our wish for the Wii

@Jadegirl Do you really not find Mario kart fun without bikes? I also prefer bikes to karts and would like it if they were in Mario kart 7 but its still a great series without them.

Its still enjoyable but not as fun as having bikes in the game. Doing awesome tricks and raring up your bike in the air. I like Karts but not as much as Bikes.

It's called Mario Kart for a reason. Furthermore, Mario Kart 7 is all about getting back to the roots of the Mario Kart franchise and bikes aren't apart of the MK Heritage Tree thus the reason we have sans bikes in this title. If one so desires bikes then you may feel free to pen Sony a bike honey do list for DLC in ModNation Racers as the title itself leaves the potential for bikes out on the table as it doesn't have 'Kart' any where in the title.

Nevertheless, that isn't to say that bikes won't appear at all in Mario Kart 7 as they might be featured as hidden unlockables in the final product as an addition via DLC from the Nintendo eShop. But why cry over spilled milk when you have gliders? And isn't it childish to boycott something as sweet and tangy as Mario Kart simply because you're feeling sourly Lemongrab at the absence of bikes? Afterall thou mayest download Excite Bike from the eShop if you're feeling the need for a bike check up.

Yes, but there's a limit. Because of items like the blue shell, whether or not you win a race is based off of luck instead of skill. You can have all the skill you want, but that's not going to stop a blue shell from hitting you at the last second therefore reducing you from 1st to 7th.

Yeah, and the chances of having a mushroom in first place are nearly zilch.

I haven't lost one race to a comp or to a person in Mario Kart, skill is all you need to win Mario Kart, people have used blue shells against me but I always have a plan when I see them coming. But I do hate seeing them on my map and it gives me a headache planing for it to come and get me.

At first I wasn't planning on getting MK7, but if that's true I might have to reconsider. IMO, all the other games are really inferior to the first, so this is interesting to hear.
