so has anyone found any surefire way to evade a blue shell?
I've only found a few methods from gamefaqs..
Defending Against - If one if coming your way, there is little you can do but
bite the bullet. Dispose of your items just before as it'll
destroy them anyway. If you hear it coming and there are
other karts behind you, then you could try and drop back
and catch them in the blast radius as well, and if you
are really luckily, the shell could get them instead. You
can also avoid getting hit by using a Star or a Boo Ghost,
but otherwise as said most of the time you'll have to get
hit, so don't get too annoyed if this happens a fair
amount.
