Ok forgive me for the huge unnecessary and useless rant but I really need to say how bad this new item distribution is. The item distribution is SO POORLY DESIGNED like one should NEVER be able to pull shrooms (or even triple shrooms) in 1st within the first 30 seconds, especially with how easy it is in this game to dodge a blue compared to other games in the series. Pulling boo in 1st is even worse as it essentially gives 1st a free blue or shock dodge without any skill whatsoever. Super horn is already in the game; you don't need to add another free blue dodge item obtainable in 1st, especially if said item also allows you to cut offroad and get a long time of invincibility. The new update allowing the player in 1st to basically get a free blue and/or shock dodge completely throws off the balance of the game; 1st place is always going to have a breakaway every race and the players behind 1st have the option to either try to catch up and get killed on rails or stay in the back and get last. Before the update MKWorld at least had some sort of item strategy involved in it which made it more skill based, but now the entire game essentially depends on who starts in a top spot and doesn't get trailed out at the beginning on a rail strat. If you want to make shock or blue shell less common in the item distribution go ahead and do that but there's no reason to throw off the balance of the item distribution just because you don't like people being strategic with their itemplay. Bagging, by the way, is a completely valid strategy that people have been doing even since MKWii that I literally don't see anything wrong with unless you want to make the entire point of the game to get bombarded by shells and backed Bob-Ombs as if it were Baby Park but it's a straight li- oh wait. Back to the topic, literally half if not more of the skill in Mario Kart comes from item strategy, and there's no point in taking it away. To add to this, MKWorld is already THE least strategic game in the series, and the new item distribution makes the skill gap essentially so low that it doesn't even feel like I'm playing Mario Kart at this point. Seriously what was Nintendo thinking when they did this
