Blocking Items
To block an item all you really have to do is have an item yourself. When an item is sent towards you, you will see an icon at the bottom of your screen What you then have to do is equip yourslef with an item by pressing <- or -> on the D-pad. This will in turn block the item. This however will not work with every item. The items that work best are shells and bannana's
