I think Nintendo over-did it with the chances of AI getting blue shells.. in MKDS I would get hit with an average of 1-2 per race, and now its like an average of 3-5, its so annoying. has anyone else noticed this? or did I just get an unlucky disc..
oh and I might add that they seem to always come at the WORST POSSIBLE TIME, like right when I pick up an item, a blue shell hits me and makes me lose it, or when I hit a jump and i'm in mid-air, the shell hits me and makes me fall into the abyss and have to wait 5 seconds to respawn. STUPID
also green shells are so accurate, wtf is up with that. CHEATING AI
LOL yea I heard this game is deadly like that.
Tell me about it. I got hit with two on the last lap right next to the finish line. I ended up being 6th...
Maybe if we start a petition they'll change it. <_<
I remember mentioning this as soon as I got the game, it sucks... a lot.
I can usually recover..Not that bad.
and yeah the green shells always hit me now :[

You are not alone. I went from first to last in one race on 100cc thanks to a blue shell, then a red shell, then a bump attack with 1 turn and 5-6 seconds left. This game is infuriating but fun!
On the last stage of a GP, if you only need a top half finish or so, try racing the whole game in 3rd or 4th place. If you get the right items, you can usually take first or second place right before the finish and you never have to worry about blue shells (although I have been nailed by a blue shell on the finish line.. thankfully I had just passed the point of "finish" before it hit me).
It has been added for the casual player. This means that new people can still win against the hardcore crowd. It sucks, I know
.
Oh god don't start me on the comeback AI.
usually i;d get hit with a quid...Ok....then id get hist with lightning after the squid....fine...then OMG the block thingy, then shortly after than a blue shell and sum red shells to polish it off..WHAT THE ASS?!
they amped up the itmes WAYY to much
The reason your getting bombarded so much more than in the past is because there are 12 racers instead of 8. That's 4 more racers all of whom are likely to get a POW, lightning, or blue shell. The POW and lightning aren't too bad, as it should affect everyone in contention for first. When you're in first, you're at a big disadvantage as you are the target of 11 other racers, and since the blue shell target's first, it's an order of magnitude worse. i.e. In first place you have one more item to worry about than the rest of the racers.
I'm actually getting frustratingly sick of getting hit...I'll get hit with like 2 red shells, then a squid then a POW box...or times when you get bombarded like this and you're playing a course like Wario's Mine and you can't get started and you're knocked off the edge before you've even stopped smoking
but yeah, the constant bombardment of crap is annoying, I attribute some of it to the 12 racers, but there's always been a lot of racers...maybe more boxes per track now? I've noticed when playing some of the retro courses that there aren't as many items used in a match, simply because there are not as many item boxes.
and getting hit with items 2 inches from the finish line is the worst, even worse than the last straight away...I've seen positional losses of 1st to 9th on a single bombardment. And I've lost like 3 positions getting spun out on a shell 2 inches from the finish line
The thing I hate the most is when you have the bad luck of getting hit with any things while jumping over a gap. Anything that touches you while in the air is pretty much an instant death because you're gonna fall into the hole and if this is on the last lap...
gah i hate them SO much. i was in first by like 6 seconds once and the blue shell hit me over a gap and i fell, died, then came back, then IMMEDIATELY got hit by a red shell, and came in 7th place >.<
Try getting hit by a Blooper, red shell, blue shell, and BANANA all within the span of 3 or 4 seconds. It's real fun.
>_<
Yeah, I've been hit with 4 or 5 items at about the same time as well. This made me think of one small solution. They should make it so that if you get hit then you're invincible for about three to five seconds. Kinda like when you play Super Smash Bros and die and come back. You're blinking for a short period of time and you can't be hit at that time. It wouldn't solve all the problems but it would help.
yea i think it was that way in mkdd
Stupid Nintendo...run by complete idiots
What I can't stand is when the AI uses Lightning bolt right before i cross a gap, causing me to spin out and fall D:
