Notice something? That's right! Once the Blue Shell lost it's wings again in Mario Kart 7, it traveled along the ground. Since Mario Kart 8's Blue Shell also doesn't have wings, it's safe to say it will work in the same way as MK7, meaning it travels along the ground where possible. I'd definitely say this is a good thing, as it adds more balance to the Blue Shell since it can also hit other people rather than only whoever's in first place. My guess as to why we haven't seen it in action yet is because they have to map it's path along each track, but that requires the tracks to be 100% completed first. Same with the Bullet Bill, although why no Starman will forever remain a mystery it seems!
