You can avoid a Lightning strike by using an invincibility item. The Blue Spiny Shell can also be avoided with an invincibility item. The POW Block is far worse because it warns you of your inevitable doom, appears far too often, is pretty much useless if you know what you're doing and because...
In just about any video or post about Mario Kart, especially those that involve items, Mario Kart Wii, or the POW Block itself, of course I have to talk about how much I hate the item, more specifically why I hate the item so much.
If you've seen me anywhere on the Internet, you'll know that the Mega Mushroom, POW Block, and Thunder Cloud (the items exclusive to Wii) are what I consider to be the worst items in the series. I will talk about why I hate each item so much.

Of the items exclusive to Wii, the...
That's why I would change it so that it has a regular question mark from a distance, only on approaching does it turn upside down. However, it would be the exact same color as a real Item Box to make it more convincing.
One of my solutions is done in 64 and DS. In DS, the Fake Item Box also doesn't rotate, making it rather dead obvious. I was trying to make it look like it does in Mario Kart 64 (same color scheme as a real Item Box, but upside down question mark). The Fake Item Box in Mario Kart 64 is far...
Making it almost identical to a real Item Box is a good start, but that alone isn't enough to fix the item completely. Like you said, because the Fake Item Box functions as a worse Banana, it tends to be placed in random locations on the track, usually nowhere near real Item Boxes. No one's...
Isn't my new version of the Fake Item Box actually convincing like in Mario Kart 64?
The Fake Item Box was created for the purpose of tricking players into thinking it's a real Item Box, something it does really well in Mario Kart 64. I've proposed this new version of the Fake Item Box so it...
With a new Mario Kart game coming to the Switch 2, I would like to fix a first place item that hasn't appeared in recent installments after Wii: the Fake Item Box. If I know anything about the Mario Kart community, the majority, myself included, considers the Fake Item Box to be a worse Banana...
I would like to eliminate Horsea and Spheal because both evolve late, and Horsea has a trade evolution. Lotad is also out because it's consistently underpowered. This leaves only Poliwag and Tympole. I'll go with Tympole as the Water starter because unlike Poliwag, Tympole evolves via level up...
If you haven't seen my post involving choosing a starter for every type, I would like to refresh you with some criteria I made, and the first criterion is mandatory. Here is the mandatory criterion. I'll be doing each of the eighteen types in poll form to see what everyone thinks.
The Pokemon...
To start, I will dismiss Tinkatink since it feels more like a Fairy starter than a Steel starter, and I've already chosen that as one of my two candidates for Fairy, the other being Flabebe. None of these options have good evolution levels. I've already eliminated Pawniard in the Dark type...

For the sake of simplicity, I will only look at Rolycoly and Nacli, since both evolve via level up all the way through and have reasonable evolution levels. Both base forms are underpowered compared to regular starters (Rolycoly is worse with 240 compared to Nacli with 280), but Carkol (410)...

For starters, let's get rid of Cosmog because not only is it a Legendary Pokemon, but it's completely useless until level 53. Ralts is also out because both it and Kirlia are super weak, and I would also like to disqualify Gothita, Solosis, and Hatenna because all three evolve in the early 30s...
