Description

Blue shells are Mario Kart items. They are blue in color and they will fly to the first place driver and flip them over, causing them to often lose first place if so. Blue shells can spin out second places and/or other drivers if they are really close to 1st place.

There are entire forums about why Blue shells should not be allowed. Many Mario Kart races are ruined because of one single shell on the last lap.

I, User, will argue that Blue Shells have the right to exist and should remain existent.
You, whoever you are, will argue that Blue shells should be removed from the game.

We can use Mario Kart games as Canon, especially MK8/NX since they are the most recent Mario Kart games and it is my most experienced Mario Kart game(3 stars every 150cc cup, 1 star every 200cc cups). We could, however, use other games, and they are allowed.

Just to catch on the trend, I will use the Micro-debate format. 2500 characters as the limit and 4 sources at most.

Funny how the debate 2020 is literally represented by a blue shell. Kinda represents how chaotic, miserable and unpredictable our world it right now.

Do you want to vote?

FYI: previous post was my 10 yr old nephew

I think the blue ball is a fair thing especially for Mario cart I mean if you are last and you get a blue ball it will get you a huge boost. Power ups are the big thing in Mario cart it would just be another race game. I also think that the blue ball is fair because you would not want your friend beating you by 2 laps.

Then you and I agree but 'ok' doesn't mean 'good'.

@RationalMadman

What I mean is that it is OK to exist but it is mot to be made fair.

-->
@User_2006

Everything is justified, literally. The question is if the justification is fair or not.

-->
@RationalMadman

No, It is not fair. Changing the word to "fair" would not be fair for me. Blue shell is useful in places different than being fair.

@User_2006

Change the word 'justified' to 'fair'.
