Getting combo'ed is always a thing, you can take 3 hits and then falls out of the circuits.... Bad luck is part of what make Mario Kart so irritating while so fun at the same time. You can keep all your item well, defend the best you can, there is still a chance you will get it. But someone playing smartly will be hit much less often than the guy throwing his banana in the air.

 

Niot losing your item give you a chance to strikeback immediately. I love that.


It is always a thing... in MK8. A rare occurrence in MK7, and with 2 items in MKWii it was easier to prevent that first hit, and even when you're inevitably combo'ed, the reliable item system gave you a chance to comeback, something that's a rare occurrence in MK8. That's the main reason why it get's so much flak, as races are now simplified to whoever get's in first after the first set of item boxes has the best chance of winning with everyone else getting item raped.
