Blue Shell is the most universially hated and cheapest weapon ever...
IT NEEDS TO BE ELIMINATED! Nintendo killed Snaking, so they should be fair and remove the blue shell!
Or at least give us the option to turn it off X_X:;
The hell is the point of Mario Kart with no items?
No, just the blue shell. It's cheap, it punishes good players for being, well, GOOD, it causes people to lose races they SHOULD win, and it's pretty much unavoidable in all instances of actually being first. It's an unfair, unbalanced, and cheap item. Everything else is fine though, I got no problems with the rest of the stuff...
Most of the time when you are first in Mario Kart, it's because you got good items. I don't really see it as punishing good players as much as rewarding bad players, if that makes sense.

The driving still takes some skill...despite the near-removal of snaking (it was the only reason I was fine with the blue shell). Yes, getting good items helps, but knowing the course, and being a good driver usually leads to being in the lead longer. But the blue shell blows skill right out the window...it's just a plain unfair item. At least give the ability to dodge every now and then!

Rocket Launcher in Halo 2
Spartan Laser in Halo 3 (Seriously. "Where's the laser noob? I want revenge." *ZAP* "WTF!?!?!?! HOW DOES HE STILL HAVE AMMO?"

Spiked shell in Mario Kart is very cheap. It's like the worst.

Laser Desginator in Battlefield: Bad Company. It has stalled me SOOOOO many times when in a vehicle, and if they successfully target me, they have to be complete idiots to miss.
Artillery in Battlefield: Bad Company. Similar to laser designator. Except a little more sudden. And waaaaay more unexpected.

The Spartan Laser was my favorite thing back when I played halo 3. I never could get enough of firing that bad ass thing.

I'm reminded of the nuke in Turok Evolution. It intercourse ing killed almost everything on an entire map.

Then again, there's a lot of cheap-ass weapons in the Turok games. Interestingly, the entire series sucks.

It was made by Acclaim, what do you expect?

Blue Shells have never been that bad to me, so...

But I have to ask, where's the RYNO from Ratchet and Clank? Or the Needle Cannon from Jak 3?

Can't read it from school, but Mag Charger from Time Splitters: Future Perfect needs/should be in there.

The god darn gun is like a sniper and can shoot through walls. Only in multi player does it do that.

Ah, nothing says "Screw you, this is my race dangit!" like a Blue Shell, lap 3, halfway to the finish line. After that, follow up with a red shell, a point blank green shell, being rammed off the edge by the racer with an active star, quite possibly a Bullet Bill if you're unlucky enough, and finally, a Lightning bolt. By that time, you've left to make a sandwich.

Yeah, cheapest weapon ever.

That has actually happened to me before, and I came back to win. :O

It was a long course though. I forgot which one.
