BLUE SHELL!!

The race is going great. You got a great start, you’ve been hitting all the mystery boxes and getting good items. Your drifts are on point and you took first place with the rest of the players a ways behind you. All you hear is, FEEEEWWWWWWWWW, from across the map. Even though you have a banana to block you from a red shell cause you’re a pro (*pro tip* if you aren’t a pro lol) Someone just threw a blue shell at you on the third lap of the race and now your victory might be in jeopardy. You all know this scenario, at least if you have ever played Mario Kart before, then you know. That blue shell has personally ruined me a few times -___-

For those of you haven’t played Mari0 Kart, it’s a racing game with Nintendo Characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach and others from that universe. The blue shell hits who ever is in first place when its thrown and stops them for a second or two. Thats why it ruins games and most importantly friendships. lol Mario Kart originally came out in 1992 for the Super Nintendo, it was titled Super Mario Kart. I played this one before but I played more Mario Kart 64 that came out for the Nintendo 64. I played A LOT more Mario Kart DS for the Nintendo DS when they barely came out. I had the blue lol Mario Kart DS was awesome, it had great maps to race on that were new and also a couple of throwback maps. The game played incredibly well on the DS. You could even race people online. I had so many nights with close races that I was pretty much a pro at this game. I knew where and when to drift, how to snake (snaking is a form of drifting where you boost and drift the whole race), I knew the maps very well and I just played a lot. It was a lot of fun. Who could forget Mario Kart Double Dash? Or Mario Kart Wii? I also spent countless hours beating my friends in races in these two gems of games. Mario Kart Double Dash was for the Nintendo GameCube and Mario Kart Wii was for, well ya know, the Wii!

If you have never played Mario Kart, Give it a try!

I suggest you get a couple of your friends and race for first place in Mario Kart! The newest game in the Mario Kart Franchise is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch. Check it out!
