It's a balancer item. It exclusively affects the leading player.
What's wrong with it is it's arbitrary (you can't really help it), it punishes good behavior (winning) but especially: it's too powerful!
Its balancing effect could be spread over a couple of other items. Certain items could receive a penalty if you're leading. The odds of picking just the right item up could be affected.
What's great about OP items like this is the amount of spectacular saves it creates. An expert player is already married to the game anyway, why care? It's only him that suffers. The rest has a very memorable stolen victory.
- pc86 9y agoThere are several items in MK8 that will save you from a blue shell. How is it too powerful? And spreading the "balancing effect" over several items effectively eliminates that effect. How often does someone use multiple items simultaneously?
- Karunamon 9y agoI think they already do in a way. The guy in first place never gets things like bullet bills or stars, but a ton of bananas and green shells. It wouldn't surprise me to learn there's a gradient.
