I've played through 50cc and 100cc so far, and I have to say that I don't even understand why Nintendo added a second item slot. It rarely did me any good. More often than not, I'd have the item I needed to counter an attack that'd happen maybe ten seconds in the future, only for a ghost or a lightning bolt to cause me to lose said item. There's almost no point in holding onto items strategically, because they'll just end up getting lost or stolen immediately prior to when you need them. Until now, I don't think I've ever felt so strongly that a game's A.I. was operating solely to screw me over...even with past Mario Kart games.
I think Blur did Mario Kart better than Mario Kart in terms of item balance. It blows my mind that Nintendo's even calling this out as a new feature, given how uninspired it is. I mean, how hard is it to let players switch item slots and only have active items vulnerable to loss and theft? At least the ghost only steals the first item, but it blows my mind that the lighting bolt hits everyone aside from the person who uses it AND all of those players lose BOTH items.
To whoever took that point-blank horn hit.

Sometimes I slow down right behind someone I hit with a Boomerang and then hit them twice more

Source?
I haven't worked up to it yet. Was awful at it on Wii U, and so I'm taking my time with 150 to unlock vehicle parts and refamiliarize myself with the tracks before I hop in.
Not used to braking in mario kart.

How do I join the gaf tourney? Just says can't join the tournament with the code I entered 
I am. Not trying to stealth brag but I thought it would be harder. I have 7 cups three stared so far with only a few retries.
I honestly forgot. It's been years since I found that gif.

By some miracle I pulled from 11th to 3rd in that one. God, I forgot how chaotic Mario Kart 8 is in the two years since I last played it.
Aussie Bowser loves you too
