You've gotta give up your grudge against MK8, dude. It's getting sort of pathetic at this point. All MKs are good, and all MKs suck. Some would argue that the item balancing in Wii is god awful, equivalent in quality to the shortcuts in 8. So on and so forth for parts of every game I'm the series. 

I don't have any problem with the item balance in MKWii, unlike 8 where the 1st place get a red shell and the second place a fucking coin.

MKWii was easily the worst MK in my opinion, and it didn't handle items all that well. I'm just really glad they removed that awfull thundercloud item. 

Sure, you can get lucky and get a red shell in 1st place in 8 but that very rarely happens. I'm also pretty sure I've also got like 3 red shells while in 2nd place once. Most of the time you simply get coins or a banana when in the lead. Sure it happens every once in a while that you get very lucky but I don't think that's necesarilly a bad thing. I personally like how there's a chance the game helps you or your opponent,  that should be part of mario kart as long as it doesn't happen too often (I don't think t does)

The short cut in cheeseland is a bit too much though, I agree. But most of the shortcuts I don't have a problem with. It can add a certain tactical element where you have to decide to save your mushroom for the shortcut with the consequence of losing 1 or 2 itemboxes/potential items, or take the risk of using it and hoping you get another one in the next itembox.
