The Bullet Bill is a powerful weapon that can help a player take the lead inMario Kart World, but one unlucky racer unleashed it at the worst possible time and ended up in a poor position for it. Now thatMario Kart Worldhas been out for a little over a month, gamers have been sharing interesting clips from their high-speed misadventures across social media.
Many of theseMario Kart Worldclips involve a player misusing a normally helpful item with disastrous results, such as the dreaded Bullet Bill. First introduced in 2005’sMario Kart DS, the Bullet Bill transforms its user into a fast-flying projectile that charges around the track, knocking over any opponents unlucky enough to be in its path. The Bullet Bill is considered to be one of themost powerful items inMario Kart World, and can often be used to turn the tide of a race, at least when the player times it right.
If the player times it incorrectly, it could lead to a disastrous scenario such as the one Reddit user chumptim recently shared in a short video clip on r/mariokart. They were 18th on theDino Dino Jungle course inMario Kart Worldwhen they acquired the Bullet Bill power-up. Hoping to turn their fortunes around, they activated the item and went charging across the track, straight into the path of a roaming dinosaur. Instead of being knocked over like other racers and obstacles, the massive prehistoric beast simply blocked the Bullet Bill in its tracks, leaving chumptim in essentially the same position they were in once the power-up wore off.
Dinosaurs Can Derail Bullet Bills in Mario Kart World
Other players have shared their own mistimed uses of a Bullet Bill inMario Kart World, be they encounters with that same triceratops or getting stuck by a Thwomp onMario Kart World’s unlockable Rainbow Road track. In response to one Reddit user, chumptim joked that they thought the Bullet Bill would kill the dinosaur like in 1998’sCarnivores, but it seems prehistoric creatures are a bit more durable inMario Kart World.
So far,Mario Kart Worldhas proven itself to be a successful launch title for the new Nintendo Switch 2 console, so fans should expect to see more fun clips of racers being caught off guard by roaming dinosaurs or other obstacles in the future. These clips can also be a useful learning tool for otherMario Kart Worldplayers who would do well toavoid firing a Blue Shellor Bullet Bill at the wrong time during an intense Grand Prix or Knockout Tour race.
