These are all very good points. The original and MK64 were excellent (as was Super Circuit, in my opinion), but the items have been weakened, and some of them are cool but not really useful. Personally, the Blooper never screwed me up in the slightest, in DS nor in Wii. As for Lightning, it should regain it's former glory. And the bump mechanics sucked in Wii; I hated that the most.
Yeah, I agree on all counts here.
Especially with the post PB just made while I was making this. I think the main reason the Blooper was added was to compensate for the increasing suckiness of mechanics. It's useful in Wii, but only because you regularly get unfairly dropped to 7th or below. Which means you might get back. But that situation should never come up. There should be no need for an item to counterbalance poor mechanics. They should fix the mechanics.
