Well, lets wait till the game comes out first before seeing what we do and don't like... Change is good sometimes, but if it comes out and feels like ass, (which might be a good thing depending on the ass) than we can flame it

Isn't holding the items better?


While held they wont protect you from anything, and you can't cut people off while hitting them with your item.

Not that big of a deal to me.

Do you have a link to the trailer?
As far as I know single items were never dragged behind you without you manually pushing and holding the fire button.

Then maybe it's a game option?...

Youtube it! Also if triplets of items are indeed in this game, then they'll most likely be held aswell, or rather juggled like in Double Dash.

No big deal, as long as we are warned when a red shell's coming I see no problem with this "new" mechanic.

Or..

The gamepad screen could serve as a rear mirror so we could deploy our items at the right time.

Possibly, but I have to doubt it. Don't think any Mario Kart game has ever let you tweak the core gameplay mechanics, infact they generally have very few options if any at all. There's a first time for everything though!

I found this

So yeah it could be that they made some changes. We have nothing solid about it though. So just wait for the reviewers to clear things up. Maybe there are 2 modes available, oldschool and  easy.
