Just when you think you’re ahead in the race
Darn those blue shells. I can’t come up with the words to explain the way I feel when I’m about to win a race then that all-to-familiar blue shell icon appears in the bottom half of my screen. Then … boom. I drop to second, third and finally, place fourth, in a matter of seconds.

Are they what you call Spiny shells in the US? I think they’ve definately reduced the number of spinys in this version, in fact they’ve made the whole experience so much easier, which is a frustrating experience in itself :(
The shell that attacks you if you’re in first place is what we “Statesiders” call the blue shell. I wouldn’t mind it so much if we could dodge it, but as of now there’s no known way.
