Mario Kart 7 - how to escape a Blue Shell



This seems to be one of the only ways to escape a Blue Shell at the moment. The only other way would obviously use a Star. Escaping a Blue Shell without an item seems to be impossible at this point.

If any of you guys have been able to successfully escape a Blue Shell without any items please let me know in the comment section.

That is very good to know. I don't have the game yet, and won't until Christmas time, but this is a great bit of advice for the eventual future. Too bad you so rarely get Mushrooms while in first place.

True, but I guess you could save one just in case...

It's all about which poses a bigger risk. If you happen to have a spare shell or banana held onto the back of your kart, you can protect yourselves from a red shell that is fired from second place. However, if you have nothing to protect yourself with, you run the risk of getting hit by a red shell which can almost be as bad as getting hid by a blue one. (boosting doesn't get you away from a red shell. So overall, even though this is nice to know and can come in handy in certain situations, I think that you should just use the mushroom and try your best to put distance between 1st and 2nd while protecting yourself so that even if a blue shell does come, you are far enough to carry on going without hurting your position too much.
