Red Shells are the new Blue Shells! Acceleration actually matters! <(^_^<)

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.

A bit less this time? You can't be saying Red Shells in MK8 are less powerful than in MK7, especifically after I explained how only the opposite is true! Being rare to get doesn't change the fact that you insta die when they do get it, which they will, and the coin item makes it so you cannot always block a single red. Plus there's the whole two red shells in a row thing. And much more often than not, Red Shells will find you!

Then we have different experiences. If you are in front then reds are rare enough either to be blocked by bananas or green shells or by the environment. If you are at 4th or lower and the probability of reds increases the race is meaningless anyway.
