I thought there were people who could beat those Challenges in 1 Attempt ngl, cuz I'm by far NOT the skillest player here.

I've made multiple Challenge this month and I've noticed 2 things:
- I make a Challenge, Publish it, and the next day it got Verified
- I make a Challenge, Publish it, and after a LONG LONG TIME it is still not verified, which is the case for some of my Challenges.
So what are the Challenge Validators doing? Like on the Discord I've seen 10-15 Challenge Validators but after a Month still nothing??? Also before you say anything like "ThEy HaVe A lIfE", think of the previous Situation of Max.

This is a lie because you don't have a girlfriend.

I accidentally wiped my ass with my girlfriend instead of toilet paper

Guys, please calm down. It seems like my "which one would you choose" is starting to create a drama and I'm against this.
Instead of judging blindly someone else's opinion, try to first take a step back and ask yourself why did they make that choice.
By thinking like this, you are first of all avoiding any form of drama, and second of all you are debating in a very mature and peaceful way, which is what we're aiming for! ^^
I'm going to explain the differences between the Poison Mushroom and the POW Block and why do people think one is good, the other is bad, and vice versa. I will then give my personal opinion on each items.

• Poison Mushroom:
The poison mushroom was an item first introduced as a CPU Only item in Super Mario Kart. It basically acts the same as the way it did before: It spins out the player and shrinks them for a short time.
        • Positive aspects: The poison mushroom being back in Mario Kart PC gives it a very nostalgic effect for some players. This item, being obtainable in the early-middle spots can act like a strong defensive item. It can be trailed and thus block any incoming shells.
Because of the shrinking effect it gives on hit, players have to be very carefully not to hit one because it can definetly ruin their race because of the big time loss.
        • Negative aspects: This item can be seen as very repetitive item that isn't necessarily needed in Mario Kart PC: it is basically just a banana but a bit better or a bob-omb but worse. Players may just see this item simply as another trailable item that doesn't have much difference from other items.
Personal Opinion: I don't mind about the poison mushroom, I do think it deserves its place in the distribution although sometimes it can be quite annoying if you're aiming to have a mushroom but end up having a poison mushroom instead. It happened to me multiple times that I wanted to dodge a blue shell with a mushroom but the moment I press the item key to shroom dodge I just end up trailing a poison because I had a poison mushroom instead of a normal mushroom... (shame on me for that xD).


• POW Block:
The POW block made its first appearance as an item in Mario Kart Wii. Upon using it, a POW block will appear on every player's screen that are ahead of player who used the item, and will crash 3 times. On the third and final crash, any player who isn't in a dodge state or in the air with a cannon or a jump will get spun out and lose their items. This item never came back in any other official Mario Kart games after Mario Kart Wii.
        • Positive aspects: The POW block being able to hit multiple players at once and make them lose their items makes it an EXTREMELY powerful item. A POW block has to be used very wisely for it to have a maximum efficiency. Just like the poison mushroom, the POW block being back in Mario Kart PC (with a very rare chance of being pulled in the standard distribution) makes it a very nostalgic item and it's good to see forgotten items being alive again.
        • Negative aspects: Despite its extreme strenght, a very probable reason the POW block never returned in any other Mario Kart game is because of how random it is and how similar it is to the lightning.
It's just a lightning but worse for multiple reasons: it only hits players who are in front of the user, it has a less big effect on players and it is predictable. Today, many players see this item as the "mini shock".
Personal Opinion: I'm personally a big fan of the chaos created by every item during Mario Kart races and items like the POW block which can litteraly hit so many players at once and making them drop all their items is exactly what I love to see.
Some people may call me crazy but me loving chaos is also the reason why I like the other hated items such as: Thundercloud, Blue Shell, Lightning and Kamek. I call those items the "Chaos" items.


Of course guys, it's normal if some of you don't agree with my statements and it's completely okay to agree or not agree with something! Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion and it's always great to see different opinions from everyone, even if they're out of the ordinary (just like me liking the thundercloud as an item for example xD). Hoping to see more votes from other people!

Note that I've added the number of votes that an item recieved so people can see clearly the general opinion about items that people want removed the most (remember that it's only a simple question, for those who might have misunderstood nothing will actually be removed).

If you could remove 3 items from the standard MKPC item distribution, which ones would you choose?
Here is the item list:

⬆️ Remove Blue Shells permanently and make Shocks thrice more frequent
⬇️ Remove Shocks permanently and make Blue Shells twice more frequent

"-in any of the games so I'll play through-..."

"Total Transsexualisation, Fatal Homosexualisation"

The french translation of "POW Block" is "Bloc POW" without the "k" on "Bloc":

"ranking" could be replaced by "leaderboard" too.

In the gaming universe, we don't say "double accounts" but "alt (=alternative) accounts".

In the Challenge Editor, the Additional Constraint "In n-th place or less" can be missunderstood because less could either mean less than 2nd (from 2nd to last place) or less than 2nd mathematically (because 1 is less than 2).
Replace the word "less" by "better".
