Heck, thanks to the new video editor in Mario Kart 8, you can even dodge blue shells with extreme style now.

That could be you. Heâs using the good âol âboost right before the blue shell hits youâ trick, which has been available in a number of previous Mario Karts. You only have a few moments to pull the maneuver off, so the timing is tricky, but itâs definitely worth learning how to do if you want to stay in first place.
Hereâs a tutorial by AbdallahSmash026 on how to avoid the blue shell with the mushroomâbut itâs not the only item you can use to do it. You can also use a super horn, which is a new thing unique to Mario Kart 8. And unlike the mushroom, youâre actually likely to get the super horn while youâre in first place.
Mastering this technique means youâll be able to have lots of slo-mo badass moments like the ones in this video by Rodriguezjr:
Happy dodging!
