lolz, I'd really like to hear the reasoning behind this one, assuming there even is any. :L

It was more about driving skills with the occasional item to mix things up.

As the series progressed it became more about the items and less about the 'racing'

THIS, Mario Kart Wii really cemented it, it was like a party game on wheels. Mario Kart 7 brought it back to racing a bit. lets see if 8 continues

From a gamers point of view, if they took out items like the bullet bill, blue shell, and lightning bolt... the game could be much better.  However, Nintendo would not do this.  The reason they even have all these items that make it less about racing and more about items is because anyone can use items and Nintendo wants to market this game to as many people as possible.  Casuals wouldn't play as much if they kept on getting last every single time.

I know that, and thats my entire point, and why i prefer DD much more and 7 to a lesser extent, those actually feel like racing games. But Wii sold alot so that just might be the way the series is. No sweat off my back, ill just save myself 40-50 bucks or just play another kart racer. (Sonic and modnation)
