Almost everybody calls it blue sparks.

Dylflon and I have placed in tournaments with our blue sparking, so it doesn't matter to me either way. I just prefer to have hopping in my mario karts.

P.S. You won't beat me.

Well, we can find that out soon enough huh? Oh, I too prefer to have hopping in mario karts...I just want blue drifting boosts or whatever you prefer to call them in the game as well.

Anyone who uses a red shell during the GameTavern tournament will be disqualified and temporarily banned. Cheap weapons are not looked highly upon in the company of racers like myself.

I veto the red shells motion and impose a blue shell ban.

How will we find out who used them, anyways? The honor system?

Comon, thats bull. I'll admit, ive been screwed in Mario Kart before, but hey thats just the luck of the draw. Thats part of what makes it so great. With a little luck, even the underdog can win.

Way to make it like any kart racing game other than Mario Kart.

There are a multitude of ways to avoid red shells including corners and holding a green shell, banana peel, or fake item box behind you.

There's really no point to limiting item uses. The percentage of how often you'll get each item is based on your place in the race. For example, you'll almost never get a lightning bolt or star unless you're in 7th or 8th place. Whereas if you're in first place you'll generally be stuck with green shells and banana peels.

It's a built in "catch-up" mechanism that every Mario Kart has had.
