Mario Kart World Players Report Helpful Blue Shell Glitch

Some gamers recently discovered a strange new glitch in Mario Kart World, which causes Blue Shells to miss players they would otherwise hit. Mario Kart World players should be aware of this glitch, as it may save them during a critical moment, or make their Blue Shells fail when they’re needed the most.

Mario Kart World is the latest entry in the popular racing franchise, which started in 1992. After the highly successful Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the newest game in the series was eagerly awaited by fans, and it hasn't disappointed so far. Mario Kart World has received positive reviews, and currently holds an average critic score of 86 on OpenCritic. However, the title does have a few glitches, and one of them could actually prove to be positive for some players.

Multiple Mario Kart World players have discovered and recorded what seems to be a recent glitch in the popular racing title: Blue Shells missing players they should hit. In videos shared on social media (spotted by The Gamer), players can be seen racing when Blue Shells begin to fire in their direction. However, the popular offensive item just keeps moving forward instead of hitting them, as if it were a racer itself. Some gamers gave their thoughts in the comments, revealing that they think it’s a recent glitch, as the problem has suddenly been reported multiple times in the last couple of days. It’s not known what could cause the glitch, so gamers using Blue Shells to take out frontrunners should be aware of the chance of their item just failing.

Strange Glitch Auto-Dodges Blue Shells in Mario Kart World

This is not the only glitch uncovered in the Nintendo Switch 2 game recently. Last month, for example, players discovered a Mario Kart World glitch that allowed them to fly indefinitely after doing some specific moves.

Fortunately, Nintendo has been patching the game to get rid of glitches, but not all the updates have been well-received by the community. One recent Mario Kart World update frustrated some fans, as it made a big change to online multiplayer, making it more common to land on “intermission” courses.

Aside from these glitches and the recent dissatisfaction of some players with the new update, Mario Kart World has been an incredibly popular release title for the Switch 2. Mario Kart World sold over a million units in both Japan and the United States, showing that the franchise remains incredibly popular among Nintendo fans.
