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.
