Dodge annoying items hints and tips for Mario Kart Double Dash

Dodge annoying items

Hello mortals. It is I, Cez, the master of gaming. Today I will be telling you how to be nearly as good as me at Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

1. How to Dodge Red Shells

When you can see a Red Shell in the warning bubble behind your kart, go into a power-slide and charge your mini-turbo. Release the turbo when the Shell is about to hit you, and it should miss and skid off the track or into a wall. Alternatively, drop a banana/Green Shell/Red Shell before it hits you. The Red Shell wil hit your weapon and break. DO NOT USE FAKE ITEM BOXES! THEY DO NOT WORK!

2. How to dodge Lightning Bolts

When a Lightning Bolt is about to hit (easier in multiplayer since you can see who's got one), try and hit a banana/Green Shell/fake item box/anything else that's lying around. If you are on DK Mountain, you cannot be hit while you are in the air after being shot by the Barrel Cannon.

3. How to Dodge Blue Shells

The hardest one of all, this rarely works. You will notice that when the Blue Shell reaches youi, it hangs back, then rushes forward. It has no directional capacity during the final rush i.e it can't turn. If you use a Mushroom while power-sliding or hit a boost pad just before the Blue Shell hits, it should sail straight past you and with any luck hit the wall far enough away to not catch you in the explosion. Also, hitting another item means that the Blue Shell will still hit you and explode, but it does not affect you. Blue Shells, like Lightning Bolts, can't hit you while you-re in the Baller Cannon's airspace.

Obviously, a Star can be used in all cases, but I bet you already knew that.

Until next time, my friends.

Adios.
