"Go Blue yourself"

What a way to tell someone off

[layawn_]

That’s actually quite helpfull, thanks!

I remember learning this and surprised one of my friend during a race, it was fun :)

[WiiManLei]

Dodging a blue shell is satisfying every time

[ZUUL_]

I love the way you described the “belly” and “spikes”. That’s exactly how I explain it to others inquiring. Perfect. 🤙🏻

"Go Blue Yourself" is crazy 💀

[BlueThunderO]

Yep, I learned to time it myself by like you said, waiting for it's spikes to show. Whether it's 150 or 200cc.

It's really good to see people spreading game tips instead of gatekeeping them, even if the tips are known by many -- it's always nice to be nice

This also worked in Mario Kart Wii and was like the only way to dodge Blue Shell with an Item.

I accidentally did that in Mario Kart 7, the best day of my life

[brettabraham]

I've known you could do it for years (it was also possible in previous games), but I never could get the timing right. Now is my time!

"Go blue yourself" sounds like a slur 😭😭😭

[normallymute]

Bro hit us with the “You should blue yourself NOW!”

So one day I was playing on the third track on the mushroom cup, and I had a blue shell right behind me. I was about to give up right before the glider section, but there was a triple mushroom that had been dropped because of a shock. I picked up the mushroom last second on accident and dodged leading to the win. Also this was my first dodge ever.

The fact that not everyone knows this when a mushroom was just one of two or three ways to dodge a blue before the super horn was introduced somewhat makes me feel old and sad 🫠

[AyyanKarim]

Its cool that there's more than one way to stop a blue shell and I like how with the mushroom it actually requires skill

[klop]

I once did it on Maple Treeway with a mushroom that was sitting about. One of my proudest Mario Kart moments lol
