Red Shell. It's the problem solver.

I'd have to say that the red shell is my least favorite item in the entire game. It's given out too often and it takes absolutely no skill to use properly.

It takes no skill to use properly if your opponents have no skill at dealing with it. A hastily deployed Red Shell is a wasted Red Shell. A well-deployed one is the best way to snare that one elusive foe who remains just out of reach.

Agreed. I'm certainly not afraid of them like I use to be years ago. I deflect them and rid myself of them all the time. It's just when I'm about to win the race and have no item in the 1500cc or online is when I'm worried.

Exactly my point. I hate losing a race because I got a coin item and second place got a red shell. How can you say second place deserved to win that race? It certainly didn't take any skill on their part to use that last red shell they got.
