losing my held items, shrinking with the possibility of being run over, and if timed right, falling off the track due to lack of speed... all around just don't like being on the receiving end of this one.

They're annoying and don't do anything when you're already full of coins!

For some reason the green shells never miss. I think they have better aim then a red shell does

Nothing hurts more than trying to mount a comeback, hitting that double block, and getting a bullet bill... behind a piranha plant with not enough track left to use both. Every time.

You’re defenseless, can’t use other items - It’s like putting a kick me sign on your back for 10 seconds. The only redeeming quality is it’s satisfying to chomp someone

It is a great item, but when it seems to only appear when you can’t catch up to the next position or the place ahead of you has a star

You can't make it go faster, it didn't work for item defense, and it's always in front of what you need

Doesn’t guard you from behind, lousy for short cuts, and only useful in rare occasions with crowds.

It just doesn't really do much. They need to make it so your screen gets inked and then also makes your tires more slick or something like that. Regardless, it's trash.

I find the piranha plant and super horn to be pretty useless compared to other offensive items. Yet nothing is more frustrating than losing a race at the last second because of a dang blue shell! And it's not like the person who used it generally benefits from it!

Piranha Plant is fun in Smash, but not in Mario Kart.

Fire Flower’s are the worst! This isn’t even a debate.
I never realized those were bells at animal crossing?! Also rlly hoping we get some sort of alternate coin for a future dlc track.

Edit: you coin haters are crazy!

It’s the plant. I get how it eats items/opponents but: no rear defense, the boost isn’t impactful, & you can’t get rid of the plant quick enough. At least I can be super offensive w/rang & fire flower, coins in 2nd (especially on lap 3) do suck but the plant ... I hate it. Never excited to get it.

I don’t know if there is really an item I hate. However, I am greatly disappointed when this is the item I pull from a box.

I can survive a lightning bolt better than a squid. I don’t even like using thing thing. I never get it even being in the back most of the time.

Second place coin. What are you going to do with it? Nothing and then end up in sixth.

This is possibly/probably my most hated item in all of gaming. There are defensive tactics to reduce or avoid blue shells. NOTHING for this.
