Have you tried out the new Items?

[SpiderStaryu]

Super Leaf, Fire Flower, and 7. Have you guys used tried them, and if so, what did you think of them?

Super Leaf is pretty basic, I think of it more as a defensive Item to protect against shells and such, don't really use it to hit others.
Fire Flower is pretty fun. Throwing a bunch of Fire backwards is absolutely hilarious, seeing a bunch of people get hit by them. XD
7, I haven't tried yet, but someone used it on me, and gave me Star Power, I was like, "whoa o_o".

Super Leaf - never had a chance to properly use it but it's pretty cool to see used (tail whipping ftw)
Fire Flower - 10 shots only is ok, but since I never got to use it against a close enemy, haven't found much use.
Lucky 7 - not yet.

Super Leaf: Got that item quite a lot, difficult to use but very tactical
Fire Flower: OK, bit inaccurate, but I like I get 10 shots
Lucky 7: Great item, very powerful yet can be used against you as well!!! When you limit the items to just shells, you get 7 red shells, which is cool!

The only one I've tried is the Tanooki leaf.. I haven't had the chance to try any of the other ones.

The new items are pretty good. I like all of them. Unlike MKWii which had some crappy additions (none of which are in MK7 which is laughable and justifiable).

MKWII's Mega Mushroom was an amazing Item though. =P

I tried out 7 for the first time a few days a go, and it's not all that amazing if people are far away. =P But if everyone's close, oh Lord, hell rises.

Fire Flower is not overpowered despite it seeming that way through videos. The Tanooki Tail is alright, but I wish I didn't get it so often in first. Lucky 7 is pretty awesome and feels amazing when you get it. You gotta use it quick or you'll end up blowing yourself up.

Tanooki Leaf - I like it and think it was a cool addition.
Fire Flower - I like the idea of it but I'm not too fond of it.
Lucky 7 - Fun.

I like all the items added and were much better then MKwii's one.

 

[Waluiging]

Leaf: Useful
Fire Flower: Fun to launch fireballs at people
7:Really Nice.
But one time I got it then got hit by lightning and I lost it
Next Lap, I went into my blooper and it inked my screen.

 

[waluigi48]

Leaf: Good but not great
Fire Flower: Bad accuracy for me, escpecially in the air
7: Haven't got it yet

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Super Leaf: It's only good use was to deflect obstacles and other Karters. Good item, but getting this often is not.
Fire Flower: Yeah, it's like what H-J said, though sometimes I feel I have the accuracy. At least it's great that you can throw it behind.
Lucky 7: Best item out there, but one time an opponent crashed into a Bob-omb and made me lose the items.

 

[Yoshiman222]

Super Leaf - Red Shell Shield an a good thing to use when ramming into other players, but prevents me from getting items most of the time.
Fire Flower - FIRE THE FIREBALLS!!! (Half usually hit )
Lucky 7 - 7 items but have no control of when to use them... plus people keep stealing my star. (I sometimes do as well... overall hate this item)

You do have control of when to use them, actually. When it comes to the front of your kart, press the L/X Button.

I know that, I'm just too busy focusing on the race to care about what item that's in front of me.
Also, as I said - I hate this item (and for all reasons).

 

[H-J Kaabii]

The super Leaf was in Super Mario Bros. 3 and all its ports and remakes.

And your point is...?

I never commented on Lucky 7 before, but having used it mainly in 3rd or 4th I found it a bit unwieldy and not overly tactical. (Except Mushroom =P) The Star stealing hasn't plagued me much but the Bobo-omb has blown me up a few times >.>

Why does Lucky 7 contain Blooper of all things, that squid is horrid

 

[MQJinx]

Super Leaf: TOP SPIN! Also item reflector.
Fire Flower: Good for spacing, just remember the rule of 3 at a time.
Lucky 7: Really I only use this to shockdodge or chain.

 

[Jimmy T.]

Super Leaf: Good defense controls when in front.
Fire Flower: Can be painful at times...
Lucky 7: Greatly resembles an Action Replay items cheat.
