Then I don't see the harm of it, really. If a blue shell won't get you knocked down further than from 1st to 4th place (at most), why is there so much complaining about it? I'd much rather play a game where someone close to me in "skill" could beat me, than having me win near every single time. |
A blue shell alone isn't so bad. A blue shell followed by two red shells and a bullet bill is what really pisses people off. Not to mention I've been knocked from 2nd to 8th by a blue shell.
Personally I think the blue shell is more inconvenient to the person who gets it that to the person hit by it. If they race is spread out a bit you've just been handed a useless item.
"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy
