Coins aren’t bad!

Coins are possibly the most hated items amongst casual players, why? You can’t hit anybody with them, they “don’t speed you up” and they just look silly. Wrong! Coins increase your speed slightly, and if you collect ten then you will go up to four seconds faster over a full race! That’s often the difference from first and last!

Coins also serve as boo protection–if you get a super horn behind a coin in first place, you often want to hold the coin, so the boo can’t steal the better item. And first place gets stolen from the most πŸ˜…

So don’t hate coins — they are essential for bagging and help you go faster!

But that brings up an interesting question: what is the worst item in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? Let me know your opinion in comments!

    Red shells for me. I often get redded out of 1st even when the blue shell hasn’t shown up yet and sometimes I get redded in low placements. That’s just so annoying πŸ₯²

      Yeah, I especially hate when last place has a red shell and tosses it at you when you’re in 11th.
      Or when you pass someone and they immediately hit you with a red 😭
