blue turtles

To dodge blue shells, you use a mushroom at the moment the blue shell begins to dive. To dodge lighting, you must be in the middle of the air after being shot out gient canons in Mable Treeway and GCN DK Mountain, the Rainbow Roud tube that shoots you strait up, and the N64 DK Jungle Parkway ramp. You can also use those to dodge blue shells.

Just adding to the answer thingone gave.you can also use a star to dodge/block any weapons.

Use a mushroom when the blue shell is going to hit you, use a star, or be on a cannon(DK's mountain, cape and parkway, and rainbow road) to avoid them. Hope this helps!

To avoid blue shells you can be in a cannon,use any type of mushroom[golden,triple,regular,mega]right before it hits you,use a star,or use a Bullet Bill.

When lightning hits you can use a star,be a bullet,or be in a cannon.If you're mega you will shrink back to normal size without spinning out.

If you have a mushroom and you use it just as the blue turtle is about to come down on you it will miss

Well how I dodge lightning is by using a star or a bullet and you could dodge blue shells with some of the items are just boost.
