No big deal, as long as we are warned when a red shell's coming I see no problem with this "new" mechanic.

Or..

The gamepad screen could serve as a rear mirror so we could deploy our items at the right time.


If I recall correctly it does warn you so that's good. Problem is when 2 Red Shells one after another are coming for you at once! D:

Unless they changed it since E3, then the gamepad acts like the second screen of the DS/3DS. However, instead of a zoomed in view of the track, we have a horn, which, while hilarious, does nothing to aid us in the race like a zoomed in view would. :L
There's still the full track view and it always shows what positions players are in and what items they have, so Blue Shell evasion is still a thing!
