Avoid getting hit by opponents
To avoid getting hit by your opponents shells go through a box and get a shell or banana If you only get one shell or banana hold L If you hit a banana or are shot at the shell or banana will bounce off and not harm you This only works once per shell If you get three bananas or shells press L The three shells will remain circling around your kart When someone shoots you or you hit a banana you will not spin out
Avoid spinning out
