I mean, I'm sure saying these people are dead over and over must get old once in a while.

    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
