Has the blue shell ever been "fair" in Mario Kart?

Mario Kart, by default, is not a fair game in the slightest.

Funny you posted MKDS since in that game there's an oversight involving the blue shell. If you play at 150cc, you can time a drift followed by a hop that allows you to dodge the blue shell's explosion. I am not exaggerating when I say that it feels fantastic to do it. The game doesn't have rubber banding either so dodging that flying turd is the ultimate flex on the CPU.

Mario kart prioritizes fun over skill autism. It's not fucking DOTA. One over skilled faggot leading the entire race is not fun for anyone. This is why fighting games will always be bad.

It was specifically made to tell tryhard autists to chill and have fun. Didn't work and tryhard autists just went to more boring karting games

I did this once, blew my mind
In a lot of ways MKDS really was the ultimate Mario Kart. Shame the hackers gutted it

They cope with their own shittiness by insisting that everyone else is playing the game wrong. Same shit happens in WoW, with casuals constantly crying that more skilled players are "optimizing the fun out of the game" and other retarded shit. As if the only way to "have fun" is being a retard and playing badly.

Mario kart is a game where you have to stay in second the whole time just to win
It’s never been a good game

>64's can be held behind and block all items, when thrown hits everyone in the way
>Super Circuit lets you drop it on the track to chase 1st next lap
>Double Dash adds an explosion that makes anyone hit by it in any way drop all items and temporarily disables backseaters hit directly
>Wii's still targets you if you fall off the track and who it hits is set when it's thrown
>7 makes it bigger and makes it go along the ground again
>8/8DX's items and placement system means you can start getting it in 2nd
>World's goes along the ground, flips you up like Double Dash, and you can get fucked over by physics upon landing or if in water
No.

No. The only games which do a Blue Shell equivalent which is actually fair are SRB2K/Ring Racers.
