Usually a big lead comes around. Then it's fine. Although sometimes it's hard to keep when you're hit by so many items at once. I don't always have the items to block a red shell, though. I love this game, though. Especially going online. It's pretty fun then.

You should always have an item to block a red shell. The only time that should no be true is if you were just hit by a blue shell or a lightning bolt. I am becoming more and more convinced pows are dodgeable without a ramp, but if that doesn't pan out then after a pow as well.

Notice though that most of those items hit the whole battlefield. When you start spinning out, so does your opponent and it is back to square one. If you should be beating them then the level playing field created after those items will favor you.

 I think so too. I once hit the drift button right before I got hit with a POW, and if you watch, you jump a bit before you start to drift (after hitting the drift button). I still spun out, but I it wasn't as bad and I didn't slow down as much (I think I did one spin and then kept going). I haven't been able to do it again, so I can't say for sure.
