Holy shit, I used to watch these videos all the time back in middle school. These videos actually helped me cope with moving into a new school and getting picked on and bullied. I remember getting really excited to go home, grab some snacks and watch one of these top 10 videos. They honestly made me really happy. I know this sounds fake but I'm being serious. Coming back after so long, now that I'm almost out of high school is crazy. I got an immediate nostaliga feeling. Thanks for making these videos dude!

I feel you man big time. Beautiful and underrated comment. I feel this way with Bandy too generally, I can watch his videos and an instant wave of happiness hits me and I feel like there's no problems in the world while I watch him. There's a reason why Bandy is pretty much my favorite KZbinr

[@Rztro1544]

I think the worst mario kart item is the Fake Item block. I mean, at least with the banana you can block red and green shells, but with the Fake Block you can´t

[@lewisgibbons8134]

the best item is the green shell. Getting green shell snipes feels SOOOO good

[@connorthompson66]

I like the boomerang more. I have half decent aim, so 3 shots, AND the possibility of hitting them when t returns? If you can aim, its a pretty good item! The green shell may be better because you can block with it, but I like a hyper offense over a solid defense.

[@emmarao3373]

It's arguable both ways but I h8 blue shell

[@piggy1087]

If someone is good, it probably won't do anything to them and will get back in the lead quickly, if they were even passed. Blue Shells suck

[@notcockycody1342]

They do but they are not the best

[@lordroy88]

Bruh ikr

[@NachozRuleCP]

"There are ways you can dodge the blue shell, which is bullshit." Seriously?

[@ThatGamerDownLeRoad]

By using a mushroom at the EXACT right time, but who ever has a mushroom in 1st anyways? So it's difficult and rare.

[@nestermrcool]

ThatGamerDownLeRoad ain't the truth, most of the time you don't but it sure helps when you do

[@madelinejewell2629]

I've been able to do it a few times on Mario Kart Wii, by chance, so it's true, but I don't think you can in older versions of the game. Also, it's hard to have a mushroom in first, because A) You get a banana or green shell 95% of the time, and B) Holding a mushroom leaves you completely vulnerable to incoming shells. It's also very hard to time the boost when you get the rare chance to try. But it feels so great when you can dodge the blue shell; one of the best experiences I've had in the game involves a blue shell dodge :)

[@NachozRuleCP]

I knew you could dodge it. I think it's a good feature, I was saying "seriously?" in response to "which is bullshit."

[@MarxForever]

If I may throw in my two cents about a couple of the items on your worst list. *Green Shells* tend to be less popular than Red because of how much more skill based they are. After all Red Shells are just shoot it and forget it. However Green do have their perks to those who know how to use them. Unlike the Red Shells, you can use it to hit people several turns behind you and strengthen your lead or set up hazards and make people panic. Likewise as a Red Shell aims automatically at the Kart's rear end, which is the most defensive side of the Kart, and most Experienced Players will almost always have some from of Protection there, be it Bananas, Shells, or Item Boxes (In some games), Green Shells can be pot shot off walls to hit them in the sides or front where they're much more vulnerable. Which is as awesome as sounds and insanely satisfying. The reason *Bananas* are so apparently weak, is because of how common they are. However when placed tactically they can very effective, such as on or after boost pads to kill momentum, bind turns causing drivers to go off the Road, and especially on vital ramps turns required to stay on the course. This is what makes their shear abundance so good since you can easily set up nearly unavoidable death traps at several points in just a couple laps, while protecting yourself in the process. And it's for this reason the DKs' *Giant Banana* from Double Dash was so freaking amazing. It being the a first Place special, very common, it's immense size, and it's ability to break into three smaller bananas upon impact, made it effortless to destroy anyone behind you with popular placement. Perhaps it was even a bit broken. But still one of my favorites :P. As far as the *Racoon Tail* is concerned, I'm inclined to agree with you to a point. However my biggest gripe is that it, just like the horrendous *Thunder Cloud* (the true worst item, laughably absent from your list, and is even meant to be a punishment by the developers. That's why it goes off automatically and buzzs when you get it) hogs up your Item Box the entire time it's in use. This can really screw you over big time, and leave you completely defenseless. Perhaps if it rewarded the player more for skillful execution, like deflecting Shells right back at the person who launched them, and didn't stop you from pick up reserve items, then it's be a lot cooler. And did you seriously just call the POW Block the P.O.W. Block? Dudes it's "Pow" like a comic book sound effect. It's not a prisoner of war...

[@c.nk.01]

Sometimes the Red Shell will hit you on the side after you come out of a turn. That tends to happen to me most often on MKW on the N64 DK's Jungle Parkway retro track near the end.

[@NathanielBandy]

Chloe Kintner I hate it when the red shell does that..

[@JordanMcC]

no the worst item is the thunder cloud in Mario kart wii

[@mrhatsune]

No hhe coin in Mk8

[@robertjohnson4803]

The coin from Super Mario Kart was even worse then the one from MK8

[@mrhatsune]

[@NunnyNugget]

It makes you go slower :| Plus, it's not all bad, it can be a huge disadvantage for the opposing players.

[@PogaltaEditz]

_ brwr _ but the shock part outweighs the speed boost... unless you pass it...

[@managMent_]

Well your list sounded like youre the one stuck at the last place all the time. Mario Kart is partly luck and skill. Greenshell and Banana will be usefull to those who are good. I suck at Mario Kart, still I can somehow time my shot with the greenshell or think where I should place a banana to get a higher chance of someone hitting it. Your list would make sense if you switch the "Worst" and "Best" list and then turn the "new Best" list upside down.

[@aladindeuh3328]

I thought the worst item was the fake item box in Mario Kart Ds. It has a different color and it can not stop any kind of shells

[@racistcowboyluigi4235]

Aladinde The fake item makes the game more balanced. The person in first can use it to *try* and trick others, but they also don't have any defenses. It makes it so you can at least hit them with a red she'll from time to time, making it a good item.

[@original__gmebvy]

Racist Cowboy Luigi Ridley Isn't Big Enough don’t forget that you can hide the fake item box inside of a real one, and you’ll only see it once your right up on top of it, giving you at best only 2 seconds to swerve out the way as someone else drives through that same spot to get an item, only to lose it right away after crashing into the fake item box

[@zeppelin4954]

The blooper is actually quite useful because it doesnt really block your way and it makes the CPUs drive slower

[@Tyeタイ]

i pretty much disagree with the entirety of this video besides 3rd and 1st worst. for me it's: BEST #5 bullet Bill - amazing but would be higher if it didn't avoid shortcuts and inner lanes. #4 Lucky 7 - is really helpful due to the vast amount of items it has but focusing on which one is in front of you and therefore the one you'll use if you press the button, can be annoying. #3 Triple Mushroom - beats the Super mushroom for me because there's no timer so you can spread out their use. #2 triple red shells - seeing this in your item slot, especially in a battle just makes you think "yes!" 'nuff said. #1 Starman - Fast, let you take shortcuts, can knock out opponents, have awesome music and make your character dance (in MKDS at least) WORST: #5 Thunder cloud - it gets used automatically which I know makes sense and it does speed you up but it's almost always a pain to pass on and is just one of those items that makes you say "ugh" when you get it #4 Boo - rarely ever steals anything good and you have to constantly look at the bottom screen of the DS to see when someone gets something good which distracts you from concentrating on the race #3 Raccoon tail - useless and too short a lasting time. it's only useful at the very start of a race when everyone is nearby. #2 Blue shell - pointless and doesn't help anyone. you get it in about 5th to 7th so you're far from first and an 150cc race it can kill your chances of winning if you were in first. #1 blooper - literally does nothing. green shells and bananas are actually pretty good as they force you to be skilled with your usage and aiming and they can shield you from other items which is VERY useful so I don't find them to be that bad.

[@Tyeタイ]

Hey Nathaniel! Could you make an updated version of this video so you can have some of the new items in the list? Thanks!!

[@Kuzamer]

*_The fucking STD Cloud._* That made Mario Kart Wii hell for me.

[@Omar_E11]

The game still rocks tho.

[@Kuzamer]

Chaotik Gamer​​ Don't get me wrong, I love Mario Kart Wii. Especially the chaos that was the Online WiFi Races and Battles (RIP... 😔). But that *_FUKIN' CLOUD..._* I'd consider the STD Cloud worse than the Blue Shell, Coins and Bloopers.

[@DrPeterLankton381]

It's fucking annoying.

[@pupperguy7003]

I like the thunder cloud Don't kill me pls

[@ryanq8109]

Monkey D. "Straw Hat" Luffy if

[@theblueyoshi6394]

mario kart 8's _homing_ green shells would like to have a word with you

[@luigiztheboss9593]

And the koopas ( with green shells not red shells)

[@Jonasluizgamer]

2013 video '-'

[@grabern]

Wait wtf? That's just a red shell.

[@kmen92norway]

We now have a new worst 1st place item: Coins!!!

[@NathanielBandy]

Oh yeah, I'm going to have some thoughts on that for the upcoming video series: Predicting Mario Kart 9!

[@ZePlotArmor]

Gladly, to compensate, we got the best 1st place item: the Super Horn. it's very rare though.

[@linkkling]

This was my first Nathaniel Bandy video

[@xDoubleChocMuffinx]

dude the lightning cloud is the worst

[@WhitePaintbrush]

How is the thunder cloud not on the worst list?

[@GockBlock64]

NB: Mario kart 8 needs a better item for first place Coin: well hello there my dear fine beautiful audience

[@bentalking8248]

That's because the bullet bill is star combined with a never ending mushroom and a chain chomp this item is overpowered enough

[@CaptMono]

I'm glad the blue shell exists so 1st place can't just ride into the sunset

[@CaptMono]

+Camron Goff ?

[@subzerotheiceninga8254]

Item is terrible whenever you get it or get hit by it. It is useless when you get it because you get it round about 5th or 6th place and all it does is hit the player in 1st place depending on the game but any professional Mario kart player playing Mario kart 64,7 or 8 will know to just stay away from the middle of the track to avoid it and it hits first place but if those players are professionals how the heck are you going to pass them to get to the first placer. I only think it is useful for trolling the 1st place racer.

[@pkoolaid4038]

Easiest way to dodge a blue shell (In MK7 and 8) When you see someone who has a blue shell, drop into second and stay there until the shell is used. Afterwards, go back into first.

[@No-cg7xq]

Emilio Nardone in mk8d 200cc it might not even hit you

[@michaelbesser4984]

I mean, the Blue Shell is amazing as far as overall game design is concerned. After all, as you said, this is one of the few limiting factors that could potentially stop someone from just winning the race unopposed. However, as an item for you yourself to get... it isn't great. This would be an excellent item for 2nd or 3rd place, but this item goes only to the players really far behind. If you're 10th and you get a blue shell, all you do at best is switch 1st and 2nd place. It does nothing to benefit you, though.

[@GalletaGalletosa]

the worsgt is the thunder cloud and the coins in maro kart on snes

[@calumjacko]

a coin is good

[@NathanielBandy]

the coins speed the player up though

[@justinjones6258]

blue shells are pointless! You hit first place and that's all it does. It doesn't help you, it just hurts first place.

[@justinjones6258]

What if you're close to the first place? You might get caught in the explosion

[@justinjones6258]

I know, but it is also very rare for you to get a blue shell at second unless you work your way to second with the shell. I just find it so pointless to hit first instead of the person in front of you You won't often be in second when using the shell

[@justinjones6258]

Really? That's freaking awesome! And I do agree with you on that but I'm saying that as apposed to an enlarger mushroom or a 3 set of red shells or reg. mushrooms, the blue shell is rather inferior in my opinion.

[@justinjones6258]

Shout out to Double Dash. One of the best mario karts ever

[@MrMysticalMew]

Fate Plays It is 2nd best (MK8 Is the new best lol) I have the Original Super Mario Kart cause I got it from a garage sale a week ago for 50C lol.

[@truepixelgamer8779]

My opinion of your list: Best 5: The blue shell is annoying, especially for getting at least a star rank. Best 4: I never played Double Dash. Best 3: It's worse on Rainbow Road because, you know. Best 2: The lightning bolt is annoying over a pit. Best 1: The item I almost never get (because I'm always in first). Worst 5: The POW is easy to dodge with a bike (by shaking the Wii-mote or being in the air). Worst 4: It's also useful for hitting goombas to get a mushroom in Mario Kart Wii (if there are goombas). Worst 3: I personally like using it over a boost over the edge to screw the cpus and make them get near last place. Because I'm evil. Worst 2: The tanooki suit can be useful for destroying the red shells (if timed right), if badly timed, the tail is destroyed. Worst 1: I can mostly see without it, and it can slow down the cpus a bit depending on the game.

[@Duffy-Conman]

Thunderclouds? Worst

[@awesomegirl105]

I`m fine with all but one thing. I think you should`ve put the fake item block in the worst! Nobody falls for it!

[@ladytanuki]

Yes. I hate fake item boxes. They're just hazards that people can bump into accidentally (I've accidentally run into my own several times), and unlike shells and bananas, they can't block items.

[@awesomegirl105]

Exactly!

[@virtualangel2736]

ladytanuki Unless you put them IN a real item box...

[@awesomegirl105]

but still T_T

[@lootziedoodle]

ladytanuki they can block items if they're behind you (holding the l button)

[@sniffsniff16]

Prisoner of war block?

[@NexZt9472]

For me Top 5 Best: 5. Mega Mushroom 4. Super Star 3. Golden Mushroom 2: Triple Red shell 1. Mega Horn Top 5 worst 5. Tanooki tail 4. POW Block 3. Lightning Cloud 2. Coin 1. Dat freaking BLOOPER

[@Inferage100]

How bout the Thundercloud in MKWII?

[@NathanielBandy]

I have mixed feelings on the thundercloud..I wouldn't mind if it returned but at the same I wouldn't be heartbroken if it didn't.

[@griffinungerleider7373]

would you say in mk8 that the coin is the worst

[@NathanielBandy]

Absolutely!

[@xlbolt]

Nathaniel Bandy IMO, despite the blooper being more effective than in Wii (still not much), I would still be happier getting a coin in 5th than having a blooper, since getting hit by items is much more frequent, and the coins actually help you in a great way. Just my competitive MK8 viewpoint.

[@Zenicka]

Coin is only useless when you're in first place with capped coins already. Otherwise it helps a lot

[@pamkaruhn]

its not relly a power up right?

[@Zenicka]

Pam Karuhn Yes you can get a coin from item blocks. You can have up to a maximum of 10 and it boosts your speed a little. Getting hit makes you lose some.

[@djaaggron5041]

Number one worst item should be the coin!

[@DrMario2008]

Look at the year

[@RandomGirl.RandamuOn-nanoko]

+Jyran Is awesome The coin existed in Super Circuit

[@DrMario2008]

+Random Girl but it wasn't a item .

[@djaaggron5041]

I KNOW STOP REPLYING PLZ I HATE NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT THIS COMMENT.

[@DrMario2008]

+Ivan187 But you didn't have to pick it up in the item box

[@sbprakamranonymity4780]

Thunder Cloud did not appear in this "Worst" List! What a relief! 😁🌩

[@WILLDWYER6413]

Thunder Cloud is annoying :P

[@WILLDWYER6413]

if u are not playing cpus, its like playing hop potato during the race :P

[@boy_wells9339]

+Chronana xD You're right!

[@pupperguy7003]

Chronana I do it online And yes you can still play online

[@darkcoco827]

Thunder cloud should've been one of the worst mario kart items

[@dannielbrand4961]

Ikr

[@rightyboywilson4911]

danniel brand I think the thunder cloud is a great item it stops your opponents and slowls them down AND allows you to run over them (I think)

[@darkcoco827]

Nah what it does is that it floats above u and u move a little faster, but u have to drive into someone so they can get the thunder cloud because if u dont, u end up getting zapped by lightning

[@rightyboywilson4911]

Oh yea I was thinking of the lightning bolt that gets everyone else... now I see your point :P

[@firey8572]

the worst item is Pink-Gold Peach.

[@cupcakeviolence]

Wait a minute- I thought she was the worst KART. Huh, guess I'm wrong.

[@chasethecase7446]

Top 5 best: 5. triple mushroom 4. Blow horn thing in 8 3. Triple red shell 2. Giant banana (idc who you are, always so satisfying putting directly in the middle of the rose) 1. Giant Bower shell Worst: Coins

[@Mii.2.0]

But coins gives you a weeny aamount of boost.

[@Mii.2.0]

+GodlessGamer *amount

[@xenosonic9x414]

Chase the Case idk* race* Also, the blow horn's called the Super Horn.

[@xenosonic9x414]

Chase the Case Also, bowser*

[@th1rt3]

Finally someone who agrees with me! The green shell is terrible!

[@emmarao3373]

I find it ok to use 95% chance I'll get someone with it

[@nugg2617]

I hate the blue shell

[@BigBoo64]

The worst item is actually the FRICKING COIN!

[@NathanielBandy]

KingBoo64 It is, this was made before MK8 announced coins as items

[@BigBoo64]

Nathaniel Bandy Mario Kart 7 had coins as items, right? Or am I just crazy?

[@caraemmy7879]

KingBoo64 ya I agree

[@racistcowboyluigi4235]

HammerBro101 I f you like it, then why is it worst?

[@connorthompson66]

I would argue that the blue shell is one of the worst. You get it in the last place, but you hit the person in the first place. How in the hell is that supposed to help your current situation? While everyone around you is getting bullet bills, stars, lightning, and gold mushrooms, I got to snipe somebody out of first place? It isn't any better with the new system that item rarity is now dependant on distance because in older titles it would have been useful if it was an extremely close race. I understand that its meant to be a balancer, but would you rather mildly infuriate the player way ahead of the pack, or use a star to speed ahead of 5 other people? If the blue shell was better at its job, I would agree with your points, but as it stands, I cannot.

[@Shadow36245]

the blooper is useless in the DS mariokarts because you can look on the map on the top screen

[@jacksonmerrill8944]

True

[@Shadow36245]

true dat

[@MiniVoltar]

You mean Bottom?

[@Shadow36245]

i haven't played it in a while.

[@MiniVoltar]

Shadow36245 Kk

[@BJ-th7hj]

my list, 5. blue shell 4. giant banana 3. golden mushroom 2. red shell 1!! bowser shell!

[@BJ-th7hj]

my worst list, 5. fake item box 4. thunder cloud 3. yoshi/ birdo egg 2. pow block 1!! coins! like if you agree.

[@pupperguy7003]

BJ 654 I like the thunder cloud

[@emmarao3373]

Yes hammer bro 101 I absolutely despise the spiny shell very existence !!!!

[@Me_MM17]

It's funny when the cpus get hit by blue shell But not real players

[@ZeBestBagguetCrGd]

WHAT ABOUT THE FRIKING STORM CLOUD

[@aluigiFromKart]

This *is* the first EVER NB video i've ever seen. Thanks NB for being in my head for 3 to 4 years.

[@martin-from-mongolia4011]

Raise your hand if you like the bullet bill.

[@masterpenguin8472]

✋✋✋✋✋

[@Tech-cy9yo]

What is the difference between Green and red shell

[@animeannie6474]

GameTech A red shell will hit whoever is in front of you (most of the time) while a green shell moves in the direction you throw it in

[@Tech-cy9yo]

thanks

[@grabern]

Red breaks when it hits walls, and homes in on the person behind or in front of you, where green ones are fast and bounce off walls from the direction you throw them towards.

[@cantseeme402]

you must suck at mairo kart because all your fav items are items you get around last.

[@NathanielBandy]

The only Mario Kart I'm bad at is MK Wii.

[@calmcal88]

Whats with all the negativity and abuse man? I'm a good MK player who has taken a lot of blue shells in my time! But are you trying to tell me that you'd rather have a red shell than a bullet? I like the traditional red shells, and bananas and so on, but obviously Bullets, Stars, Giant Mushrooms.. are more powerful and effective, more enjoyable to use and therefore better items.

[@destinationminecraft4363]

so what if his favorite items are the ones that u get in last. Those are the ones that have the highest chance of actually getting stuff done. Thankfully I'm really good so I just hold on to those items until I get back in 1st then I use them, sure it's cheap but's it's better than using it, getting in first and getting a banana

[@swagstyle33]

Destination Minecraft Like I said earlier, it wouldn't be very smart holding onto them until you finally get in 1st.

[@destinationminecraft4363]

Joshua D. It's smart if u know how to use the items. Even if ur 1st and u have the blue shell, it won't come back and hit u if u use it correctly, all u have to do is turn around, throw it, and if the glitch works right it should hit the guy in last place. lol

[@Epic_MKW]

There is no TC in the worst list

[@blacknight7887]

?

[@blacknight7887]

whats tc

[@alexsenter871]

THE COIN IS THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NathanielBandy]

Alex Senter It is but this was made before MK8 announced coins were going to be in the game

[@alexsenter871]

Nathaniel Bandy I know. I actually like the banana, though. Since I'm always in first place, I like to hold a banana behind my kart, so then I can be safe from any red or green shells.

[@luigiztheboss9593]

Fucken genas

[@luigiztheboss9593]

Im dumb

[@mistyheitz4396]

same

[@JBUG-mx4ev]

Great list 9.5/10. The POW block however, I feel does have a purpose but only in competitive. Most people play Mario kart for fun, but in competitive you time so you can get the opposing team hit by a red shell by forcing them to loose the item. Which still is useless, but at least it’s not a thunder cloud.
