Favorite Mario Kart 8 Item

What is your favorite item in Mario Kart 8?
 



I just love getting these in any situation
Triple Red Shell
  
 
 
I feel like it’s the only item that gives you a chance to catch up
Lightning
  
 
 
Hard to argue with the versatility here!
Triple Red Shell
  
 
 
nothing can get you back into the race quite like Bill
Bullet Bill
  
 
 
Hardly ever get it but oh what a treat when you do!
Bullet Bill
  
 
 
There is nothing better than being behind @bayesic with three of these bad boys. I’ve learned a lot of new words listening to him in those situations.
Triple Red Shell
  
 
 
When you get these in 3rd or 4th on the last lap and just start shooting them perfectly spaced. Mmmmmmm.
Triple Red Shell
  
 
 
Great attack and defense, the best item to nail the person in front of you with. And protects you from behind without expiring like the star.
Triple Red Shell
  
 
 
A versatile weapon and throw #3 can really mess with people when you do it right.
Boomerang Flower
  
 
 
Slangin Rangs with the bois is always fun, bumpin bananas is a close second
Boomerang Flower
  
 
 
Sorry not sorry to whoever is in front of me
Triple Red Shell
  
 
 
I feel like an underrated offensive and defensive item.
Boomerang Flower
  
 
 
This should be unanimous. The horn stops blue turtle shells, red turtle shells and knocks the crap out of other racers. If you’re constantly in the lead this is the perfect item.
Super Horn
  
 
 
As I am usually mid-to-back of the pack, this is my favorite item.
Bullet Bill
  
 
 
Although I'm not the best at using them, I love a well thrown or well placed Bob-omb!

Speed and immunity and gtfo of my way lol
Star
  
 
 
Getting some defense and three chances to nanner snipe someone. There is truly nothing more satisfying
Triple Banana
  
 
 
I have to give this one the slight edge as it's great for both offence and defense.
Bullet Bill is a lot of fun; apart from the fact that you have to be losing to get it.
Triple Red Shell
  
 
 
I know the shroom doesn’t offer protection but they’re just so useful. + dodging a blue with a mushroom is very satisfying. As much as I want to say coin lolol.
Also no ghost option?
Mushroom
  
 
 
I do love getting shrooms to attack shortcuts, but throwing a bomb forward & watching it bounce then blow up in someone's face is *chefs kiss*. Randomly dropping on a bridge or in a tunnel where the blast is going to take out multiple karts is also super satisfying. Bombs also stops reds.
Bob-omb
  
 
 
Red shell is fun and all, but that sweet satisfaction you get when you snipe someone with a green shell is undeniable.
Triple Green Shell
  
 
 
Pre watching @bayesic says bullet or star. Post watching Bayesic: offense wins games; defense wins championships. Red does both. I think…..I’ve never wins a Mario Kart Championship.
Red Shell
  
 
 
Offense and Defense? What's not to like about this. You can take opposing racers out while destroying even a blue shell!
Super Horn
The moment I realized...

3 shots and some protection, what's not to like?
Triple Red Shell
  
 
 
The banana is underrated! Defeats shells when behind you and I always throw them before blocks, when someone will inevitably run into it.
