Those pesky red shells always seem to chase me down when I’m in first place. It’s incredibly frustrating. There are some techniques that you can deploy to avoid the red shells.

Bananas aren’t just a great snack but an effective way to diffuse those red shells. Drag a banana behind your kart to give a target for that approaching red shell.

Red or green shells work OK to combat an incoming red shell but don’t seem to work as well when dragged behind the kart like the bananas. You have to throw them and timing is crucial. In the excitement of the red shell, my timing is usually way off, and I get smacked anyway.

Objects on the tracks like those cute mushroom guys can be hit with red shells and take the hit for your. Of course, you have to be near one when the red shell is about to hit.

Sharp turns can help in avoiding the red shells. But again, it depends on the track.

Being airborne is also a good tactic for avoiding red shells. So, when one is in-coming, look for a ramp, over-sized mushroom, or something else that will get you in the air.

That’s a few maneuvers that have worked for me. What’s your best tip for avoiding the red shells in Mario Kart?

Although both Guiterez and Bernat work in advertising, he is denying that this is a sponsored video. He does admit that he had been wanting to do a viral video.

Apparently Lauren has forgiven him for posting the video.
