we’re just going to go out and say it
Nintendo is an evil corporation that’s
out to destroy all of our meaningful
relationships welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’ll be counting down our
picks for the top ten power-ups in Mario
Kart for this list we’ll be looking at
all of the power-ups from the Mario Kart
franchise and how they turn heroic
plumbers and their princesses into
bitter shell tossing enemies we will
only be including power-ups that are
open to everyone so items that are
exclusive to characters are out no
matter how amusing it is to see a Chain
Chomp pull around a baby stroller
number ten triple green shell green
koopa troopas are not the most
threatening of shelled enemies
seriously Mario riding on your foes
shell however those hard shells do come
in handy especially on the racetrack
while it does take some good aim to nail
your opponent in the back and yes then
bouncing back and forth against the
walls can be a hindrance having three of
them circling around you is a nearly
impenetrable defense not to mention
having three chances to take out the
enemies ahead of you
number nine super horn super hood one of
the most legendary power-ups is a
certain shell that makes you loathe
being in first place seriously is it our
fault that we’re good enough to take the
lead we’ll get back to that later but
that being said Mario Kart 8 introduced
one of the most surprising items in the
history of the series a horn that can
destroy the blue shell technically the
horn can destroy anything within the
radius of its loud honk but let’s be
real it’s the blue shell killer end of
story
blast away shells with a sonic shock
wave number 8 fake item box imagine if
you will that you’re in the middle of an
intense race you’re coasting along
almost in first when in the distance you
see a group of rainbow colored boxes
maybe you can get a hold of a sweet
shell or a mushroom to boost your speed
and take the lead but then BAM you’ve
driven into an imposter a box that’s a
fraud an item that’s out to deceive you
damn our number 8 pick damn it to the
deepest pits of Bowser’s Castle
number seven golden mushroom mushrooms
have always been a handy powerup for
plumbers in red and blue or green so
it’s no surprise that they’re just as
valuable in a race we’ve had a couple of
different fungi options from the
singular mushroom to the triple fungus
threat that allowed for three chances to
boost forward
in the end though we had to give it to
the shroom in gold because having a
constant boost with just a tap of a
button is always the best option
number six bullet bill the last thing
you ever want to see is a bullet with a
diabolical smile on its face
the normal solution like everyone else
in the Mushroom Kingdom is to jump on
top of it unless you’re in a race car
not only does this menacing bullet plow
through everything it propels you
forward at breakneck speeds acting as a
boost and projectile it only lasts for a
couple of seconds but those seconds can
change the tide of any race number five
the blue shell seeing how divisive this
spiky little bugger can be
he’s only clocking in at number five
more me more thievin Luigi’s death stare
every kart racer fears this item when
they’re in first place since it targets
them directly
to add injury to injury the shell in
later versions causes a massive
explosion that hurts anyone in the area
however it is a rare find and tends to
only be available to racers who are far
behind
number four lucky seven and Crazy eight
why have one powerup when you can have
seven or eight what if you could have a
green shell a red shell a banana peel a
mushroom a star of looper and a bomb at
the same time surely that would be
insane there’s no way Nintendo would
allow such a destructive possibility
right
both of these power-ups contain the same
items but the eighth one includes a coin
in the circle of death so we’re calling
our number four pick a draw number three
Thunderbolts crackle of thunder a bolt
of lightning and shrinkage another item
that tends to be reserved for racers who
are liking far behind it shrinks
everyone making them lose their items
and completely slows them down
and as a true testament to the French of
destruction of the game you can roll
over the miniature versions of your
opponents with no consequence to
yourself here’s a tip if your friends
ask you did it to revert them back to
their normal size number 2 star the
happy bright twinkling powerup from the
Mario series makes its way to the
racetrack
gifting racers with terrifying
invincibility when that jingle kicks in
you’re able to plow through any of your
opponents so most likely they’ll be
doing their best to get out of your way
you’re also protected for many of their
attacks and will gain a major speed
boost what was once an instant boom a
killer can now be used against your
family and friends before we completely
ruin our friendships with our top pick
we’ll take a look at some honorable
mentions
all around
number one triple red shell
when coming up with this list our first
instinct was to give this spot to the
dastardly Schell in blue but after
really thinking about it
we realized that three homing shells are
definitely deadlier than one the triple
threat circles around you to protect you
but it’s when you go on the offense that
things get really intense this powerup
also gets bonus points for not being
nearly as rare as the blue shell giving
you more opportunities to own with it do
you agree with our list
have we completely destroyed our
viewership with this supposedly
family-friendly racing franchise for
less rage-inducing top 10s published
