Dodge Blue Shells In Mario Kart World With This One Weird Trick

by

In the world of Mario Kart, The Blue Shell remains both famous and contentious, sparking debate among fans. With the advent of Mario Kart World, players are delving deeper into fresh complexities and tactics. Interestingly, MKW has devised a novel approach to bypass the dreaded item, one that doesn’t necessitate holding onto a specific item for execution.

Jeff Grubb from Giant Bomb mentioned that by cleverly employing the new Rewind function, you can dodge the Blue Shell. Essentially, your kart rolls back in time a bit, causing the Blue Shell to explode where you previously were, leaving room for you to steer clear of it. However, this tactic comes with a catch: as you rewind, you’ll briefly fall behind the other racers. But compared to the significant disadvantage of getting hit by the shell – losing all your items and momentum – this seems like a much more favorable option.

In our tests, we discovered that it’s crucial to time your Rewind function accurately. If used prematurely, the shell will trail behind you as you move backwards. However, if you press it precisely when the shell completes its spin, you’ll be in a secure position. What makes this even better is that you can activate the Rewind at any moment, providing a continuous means to dodge the Blue Shell.

Generally speaking, escaping the impact of the Blue Shell often needs specific items like the Super Horn or Mushroom. This is an advanced tactic that helps players compete more fairly, as the Blue Shell becomes less intimidating compared to its historical impact.
