It’s deadly enough to kill friendships
literally
*"The spikes on top are just a pretty decoration. But mark my words, this is powerful enough to send friendships into smithereens!"*
True
JustSomeoneHere are they deadly enough to kill me
There deadly enough to give me 10 us dollars
THEN HOW POWERFUL IS THE SPEAKER SINCE IT BLOWS AWAY EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE BLUE SHELL?!?
Oh shoot, he’s right!
Probably strong enough to instantly kill the user and everyone in like 5-10 meter radius
I need a decibel count
You have a point there-
What about a blooper that's the only items that a super horn can't defeat
Who knew that all you needed to defeat Dio Brando was a blue shell.
“Za warudo”
blue shell: “gn”
Me: Wow I can’t believe I’m going to win a game of Mario Ka-
Blue Shell: no
me: not today your not
Speaker box: I can save you
Ahhh My Favourite Game Mario Ka
NO EGG!!!!!!!
Uses blue shell on blue shell
How is Dry Bowser heavier than normal Bowser?? Normal Bowser has all the organs and all that...
at least bowser has skin to lose during a car crash dry bowser would crumple
because he is EDGYER
petrified bones would weigh more that normal bones maybe that leveled it out.
Logic
@@robyesarey1478 wait dry bowser could live. He is unded.
About that bowling part, I have also got a ball in another lane.
Who hasn't
fun fact: the super horn, or the yellow megaphone is the only Item in the game that can counter a blue shell attack if the timing is perfect
Dude thers many others ways to counter a blue shell. Search "10 ways to dodge a blue shell".

Title: How DEADLY Is Mario's Blue Shell?
The people in first: Yes.
Bruce LMFAO IKR
XD wOt LOL
That was me with serri; she said “how is the weather?” Me: *YES*
Ima pro I all ready know
my family playing Mario Kart: YES
I love how MatPat is so smart and he uses his big brain to talk about lore
Interviewer: So, do you go after the first place holder or do you go after the people around him?
Blue shell: Yes
Matpat: The Blue Shell is Mario Kart’s most deadly weapon
The Shock: *Am I a joke to you*
It's not that powerful, because you think its hits everyone except you. BUT it actually only hits the people in front of you.
@@spiritmanderthecharmander5666 ppp
what is shock
@@fan0 I think the lightning bolt that shrinks you
@@trigglampkins8660 Ok
Im taking physics so i FINALLY understand the concepts he’s talking abt
That's great! If only I was so lucky depending on how you put it
I passed my AP physics calculus based test with a 4 but then again, I literally watch educational physics videos for fun so don't take me as a standard
You know i am 12 years old and he explains 12th grade physics better than my teacher can explain 7th grade physics
@@ShauntSerelu nice big brain flex
@@endmostwheat5119 nah I'm not smart I'm just really good at memorizing things
Me: passes the guy in first place
The blue shell coming from 5 th place: so you have chosen *D* *E* *A* *T* *H*
Yep
The intro is how Mario cart players feel when someone fires a shell
When kids ask when they'll ever use advanced math in their real life, the teachers should just show your videos.
So never
since i never will be a theorist, _no_
I AGREE!
True
I wish that would happen.
Conclusion:
Blue shells don’t just ruin the players life, but also the characters you play as.
FanDoes Pokemon finally somebody gets me.
FanDoes Pokemon finally no more pgp (pink gold peach)
FanDoes Pokemon and also the player around you
This was a trash video before it even began.
Yep
That one kid in math class: when are we EVER gonna use this?
MatPat: Imma end this man’s whole career
It was so cool seeing what the blue shell actually is in the Mario Movie!
If that's so then...
How deadly is the horn box then
You know, the thing that can blow up the blue shell using sound?
More, importantly, how loud is it that it can create a sonic shockwave with the push of a button? And how close is the player holding it to their face, And I'll skip to the point, is Mario's brain mashed potatoes now?
Something like extremely.
See czcams.com/video/TgZp2s3VXrw/video.html for reference
It doesn't actually need to be deadly; it just needs to match the resonance frequency of the shell, and cause the structure of the shell to fail catastrophically.
Omg haha lol!😂🤣🤣
I call it the "Mega Bass"
Blue shell: Exists
Super horn: I'm about to end this man's whole career.
Isolated Egg Now I'm interested to know how loud the Super Horn has to be to destroy the Blue Shell.
It dose I tried it!!!!
ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ
The horn is unfair the blue shell took skill to avoid with a mushroom
C.C.T.G CATS are superior um what about the *GOLDEN MUSHROOM* tho?
MatPat:The blue shell is the strongest item.
The Shock:Aren’t you
Forgetting
SOMETHING
matpat is like the science teacher that i always wanted
This honestly just shows how insanely powerful Mario characters are because they survive getting hit by these items.
Knight Warrior but they die by just touching a mushroom
Aren’t most cartoony characters immortal though?
*cough cough
Wiley coyote
*cough
Broshi *cough* Brian Griffin near christmas those 4 episodes *cough*
Broshi you're wrong, the most inmortal character is micheal malloy
Well after all lava doesn't incinerate them it just burns and turns bowser into dry bones form so there may be something to there durability
Me: *gets first*
Blue shell: *blue shell wants to know your location*
yea imma let this guy pass me
Blue shell: *im abouta end this man's entire career*
Why do they want to know your location? *they already know your location*
Blue shell: I well find you and Wil make you lose
blue shell: swiggity swooty im comin for dat booty
me: *pulls out super horn*
Blue shell: heads to first place
Me in first place:has a super horn
Blue shell: wait, thats illegal
Yes MatPat. Save me and my grades as I guide my way through university engineering physics
The blue shell has ruined many of my friendships...
But boy, does it feel good to have that blue shell in your hand and see the fear in your 1st place friends eyes.

But matpat, how powerful is the superhorn, it can defeat the blue shell?
You can actually deflect the blue shell completely by using the boom-box, even at the end of the shells animation.

Dude he teaches only physics
@@davoodoh3137 , I have watched him for the last few weeks, and he has taught me more than my school has in the last few years, and he teaches physics yes, and he also teaches about games, and math, but I am counting only the physics and math into my statement that he teaches me more than my school has in the last 3 years, and I am in high school.
True tho
Quick answer:
Deadly enough to kill friendships. :)
In The Mind of Kibara it tore families and friendships apart
100% true
Yes, it is
It kills relationships almost as effectively as Uno
yes
Mario: *exists*
Mat: *proceeds to use mario as a ruler for absolutely anything in the mario universe*
Keep your eye on the map, when you see the blue shell is released, slowdown till you are in second and watch the fireworks
On 7, DS, and 8 (not dx) there’s item spy so you can see if someone has a blue shell

It would be really cool to see someone make a simulation of what an accurate mario game would look like
Every time i hear science, in imagine austin sayin SCIENCE
This shell doesn't just kill friendships...
It kills you.

Have you ever thought of doing the opposite? Instead of going 'IF THIS WAS REAL HE DEAD?' science, going 'What would the physiology of these characters have to be in certain games to survive certain things'... or the alterations to their physics compared to our own to make these things viable? I mean, I'm sure saying these people are dead over and over must get old once in a while.
Kinzerp this! Matpat, this would make for some interesting episodes!
Pretty sure he already did stuff like that. Can't recall any examples though.
I think he did that in an Assasins Creed episode realising "Hey wait a minute! Gravity is wrong!". Same with a Hello neighbour episode featuring Cardboard Boxes.
Kinzerp
Kinzerp good idea man
This video just proves how strong the characters from all of Super Mario history is. They don’t even have a dent, or a mark on them. Heck, even the pavement where the explosion happens isn’t touched!
Wow I can’t believe how long it’s been. I’ve been watching Mat do all of his calculations and not understand a single word of it since before Fnaf, and now I’m going into AP Physics next year and have a better understanding. What a ride it’s been and one that I hope continues!
He's bowled into the lane next to him?
That's nothing, I've gotten a *STRIKE* in the lane next to me! Of course I can't purposely do it in my own lane if I try, but hey, it's something!
*clap*
same
Sure
lol
One time after about 4 games of bowling my thumb started to swell a tad and on the last ball I threw it, it got caught in in my back swing, nearly taking out a small child... I made eye contact with the father and proceeded to walk out the door and did not look back. To this day I haven't returned to that bowling alley ( thankfully it missed the child entirely so there is that)
wildefice1-Yikes..
I got a question how loud and powerful is the super horn. its sound waves completely destroy that shell with no problem
Mason Hamilton was just about to ask...
that’s a good video
Mason Hamilton good question
Redacted Fractal thanks
The super born has the ability to demolish a blue shell dose that mean it is more powerful?
Don't worry Mat, I hit the ceiling once when bowling.
I imagine you were in an air vent and it was a hollow bowling ball
Coming back to this video the ugandan knuckles joke hits even harder

Mat pat: says Pascals
Also mat pat: makes a joke about Rapunzel by placing Pascal himself in the video
By far the BEST intro! I love rally car and Mario. I never thought about mashing them.
But Mario and the team don't die from it, so ... try to calculate the resistance of their body to 4 kilo of TNT without even getting a nosebleeds
Your right
Common sense is a running joke in Gamer theory
that's surprisingly very true, hopefully he'll make a video about it sometime after
NyGeL you need to /#!?ing shuth up
You can calculate this yourself. Just take the force required to trigger a nosebleed and add t it to the TNT force.
Moral of the Story: Don't throw blue shells.
Please, we worked hard for 1st place.
Neo Machine yes and I want to take it away from you for all the times I've lost it to a blue shell
Wow mat you're weak I so shocked I can't really believe it (sarcastic)
12:33 lol
Most people just get the good luck of unintentionally getting the blue shell
Just go out of bounds or just save a Super Horn/Shroom.
5:50 Austin😢
Did you know that turtles can feel pain and other things through their shells
For all of you that say "First" I have a Blue Shell.
First
Everett McCready you just said first
so did you ;)
Everett McCready first
Everett McCready Best threat ever...
Don't mind this comment, not that important, might break the theory universe... But, for those who don't know, getting a Super Horn is the luckiest item you can get while in first place. I've discovered that the Horn can send away everything near you. EVERYTHING. Including the deadly blue shell. Now, knowing that, try to calculate just how loud that horn would have to be to nullify the force of the Blue Shell
Awkward Alex but in mario cart 8 nothing can stop a blue shell and this is based off of Mario cart 8
We don't talk about the super horn
The super horn was introduced in Mario Kart 8.
False, it can't stop everything:
SuperStar Kart,
lightning,
Bill Banzai,
Map dangers, (Twomps for exemple)
and maybe more.
We need that theory!
These old videos are still boss and still as memorable and setting a place as they did long ago.
Matpat: says Blue Shell is the deadliest weapon.
Me: moves to second place so that person will be hit by the Blue Shell.
Me: Gets in 1st for 3 seconds.
Blue Shell: It seems that you didn't get your Spanish lesson done.
Duolingo winks at Blue Shell.

These comments aren't working, let's try something else

We are now doomed because the murder shell, is here, and... Saying this means... I... Am... The... First...............

Awwwwww Man
*Boom*
BUT MATPAT, in that case, how much force does the Super Horn need to stop the Blue Shell?
Phantom_Mask great question xD
That'll be a question for another Theory. My prediction: the equivalent in sound force.
This was what I was wondering. Excellent question, would be awesome to see him do a theory on it.
This is actually really important @matpat get on it!
OR: how much speed does a mushroom give in order for you to avoid the blue shell? Or escape the 3.5 meter death radius?
my parents were being jerks to me today and watching this made me feel so much better thank you matpat
Okay... MatPat... hate to break it to you
But MK8 deluxe just had a major physics change... speeds, acceleration times, handiling, everything.
Hope you see this, I'd like to see an update on how much more or maybe less lethal this blueshell is to my Tanooki mario kart lol.
(Also, the update allowed custom item drops... you can race with blue shells only and have like 10 of them chasing after you)
The real danger of the blue shell comes from the suicidal thoughts that follow your loss
so true
Lol suicide isn't enough
I hate SHELLS

And the Sound of the SHELL hitting you is Perfect. Just... DA-DOOP, DA-DOOP, KABOOM!!!

There is nothing better then being in second, just behind your friend and getting a blue shell 😂🙌🙌
Cody Whitlock
What do you mean “friend”
There are only opponents in this game
Yeeeeeaaaaahh boooiiii
It’s “than” not “then”
Yeah but how often do you actually get blue shell in second?
Cody Whitlock Well, if you are right behind your friend and THEN use a blue shell, the blast would affect you too.
Meaning that you're friend would still be in first place.
you commented on a game theory video, this is what you got
Blue Shell: I see you're trying to get a star rank, correct? lemme ruin that for you.
Me: Throws controller at the tv and watches youtube
game: turns into dark souls but with corner cuts
Matpat not trusting Austin is one of the most funniest things I've ever seen on his channel
💙I love destroying my family relationships with a blue shell!🐢
Teacher: okay everyone watch some videos on physics
Students: watch documentaries
Me: watches MatPat
Alice Games can't compare. Go watch documentaries
Depends on the kind of documentary. If it's the classic documentary that just generalizes everything way too much, you're better off watching MatPat
A documentary on physics.
Too late- the last AP physics test has just finished
Alice Games I wish my teacher would love let us do that.. And the students wouldn't watch documentaries, they would do something else acting like they are watching physics related vids

Matpat if the horn can stop the blueshell how much force is the horn creating?
Gammingboy yass make it happen mat pat plz
Gammingboy their poor ears will b donezo
William Ventura Martinez but that is actually a good question tho no lie :3
Well it doesn't have to stop the force, it just has to destroy the shell without detonating it.
Please theories like this comment enough, so he can see and make a video about it.
Don't mind me. I'm just watching this after the "Goodbye Internet" video.
Same
wonderful intro, that editing was insane and funny.
I have another theory you can do, how loud is the bass boosted stereo if it can stop cars and even the blue shell?
Luxeria Head that’s a good idea, also how much damage it would cause to there ears since they use it right next to there ears
Luxeria Head - I was just going to comment about it. But that's not how it's called.
Hmm....
I’d say that the power behind it is exactly the same as the blue shell, however that amount of power on a STEREO translates to sound waves, meaning impossibly high decibels, meaning EVEN MORE DEATH.
There are so many names out there for the super horn... 😏😏
That intro is hilarious
*Koopa Shell Sound Effect*

I seem to get hit by more green shells than red shells...
*after this post was sent, starts getting hit by more red shells than green*
Huh lol
*WASSUP MATHAF***AS*
Blue Shell: YOU CANT ESCAPE ME
Did you know that if you have a super horn while under the eye of a blue shell, you can actually stop it?! Well there should definitely be a theory on how that single horn can stop that amount of force! If it should even be able to!
Do a theory on how deadly donkey Kong tropical freeze is

I remember playing Mario Kart Wii with no computers with my cousin once. He got a blue shell but he didnt use it and passed me. After a lap he did use it and it hit HIM. I couldnt stop laughing.
Anil Erdem nice
Anil Erdem had that happen it's the best
Anil Erdem
why did he do that?
Lol, remember when a blue shell is on the way and you tried to drive slower to be 2nd?
Aaaah the good old days...lol
Naruto Uzumaki literally me😂
Fun fact, if you use the super horn right before it hits, it negates the blue shell. What decibel level would be required to make that work?
I love that most of the science formulas noted in this episode are formulas i am learning in school right now
The blue shell: the 1 item that holds the all time record for most ruined friendships
qubonic true.

Farewell, this is one of my favourite vids you made!

You posted this too late, the AP Physics test was last Tuesday

Where I live exam week starts tomorrow so he's just on time.
bruh
Technically, the blue shell wouldn't kill Dry Bowser, since... you know...
He's already dead.
fenn's channel But the explosion would disinugrate him
Um he's a reanimated corpse so if you're severing the energy or magic or whatever from making those bones rattle around, he can die or go to the after life or respawn or whatever right?
Adults:videogames rot your brain.
Matpat: hold my beer
I know that this video is 4 years old but recently I came across a player who regularly outruns blue shells WITHOUT dry Bowser. That person is the MVP.
If a horn can completely total a kart, then how loud is it? How much energy would the sound have
Also, it can completely deflect the very strong blue shell
