You can use a mushroom or a very well timed boost to get ahead of the explosion. It makes sense, unlike using a shell to block it. |

I've never seen it happen, but my brother was able to do that once. Never able to do it again. If you're in first and you get a mushroom, you are damn lucky. |

I've only used a mushroom to get out of a Blue Shell explosion twice actually. Once in MK7, and the other in MKWii. |

It's more common to get a mushroom in first place in Mario Kart 7. That, or I just get a lot of mushrooms. |

I've almost used a boost to get ahead of one before, but I was about a second too early. |

Pff. I get a Tanooki Leaf and a Bob-omb every once and a while. Tip: A shell can hit your Tanooki tail without you whipping it and you won't get hurt. However, this gets rid of your Tanooki tail. |

I always get bananas and green shells. Occasionally a Tanooki Leaf will pop up, but honestly, I'm just not that big a fan of it. |

The Tanooki Leaf is best in battles. Races...not so much. |

Yeah, it always throws me off when I start using it, and even if I start using it immediately after getting it it always lasts until just after the next box-thingy. |

It sucks when you are drifting, as it makes you go forward and doesn't help your drifting at all. Tanooki's lasting time: 13.4 seconds. Time it takes to get to the next row of item boxes: 13.3 seconds. |

I don't care for the tanooki leaf either, but it's good when the racers get close. |

It's been useful for me about twice. Once when someone got a little too close when I was in first, and then when someone threw a red shell at me. The rest of the time, however, it's just been a slow down. |

getting back to the blue shell, whens the worst time that you got hit with one? |
