I've come to cherish every green shell or banana I get. Red shells are at least when I use them pretty much useless. I remember firing a triple red in short succession maybe a few seconds in between and none of them hit. They were a lot more useful in earlier games when there was not so much going on on the tracks that could block them.

The biggest danger I found are not red or blue shells, but flashs. Defense items are at a premium and an item that makes you lose your last defense is just terrible.

What!? I mean this is basically Mario Kart 8's online in a nutshell!

 

Yes they suck, but they suck a bit less this time. Triple reds are rare for 2nd or 3rds to get. A single red you will almost always be able to block. Unless of course somene threw a flash just before -.-
Not even mentioning that half of the reds are defeated by the environment.
