Indeed you can and I have done it....once, however the chances of getting any item other than a banana peel, single green shell or fake item box in first place is pretty anorexic.
For people saying the blue shell is fine, I have to disagree. I have no problem other items that last/second last place get that slow down the entire field (e.g. lightning) or allow them to catch up e.g. Bullet Bill and improve their position.
The problem is having someone who is coming last (usually the only time you get a blue shell), directly affecting the first placed person who they have no real chance of catching anyway. The way the game is currently balanced it is a legitimate tactic to race in second/third place, wait for the inevitable blue shell to take out first place and then use the single red/triple red shells that are regularly gifted to those people in 2nd, 3rd, 4th place to ensure the first place person doesn't get going again.
