Something weird just happened... I was in first place on Dolphin Shoals, doing the underwater part, when a blue shell came my way while i was riding up the eel. I fell off the eel and, by some witchcraft, AVOIDED THE BLUE SHELL! It was a freak accident, so don't try to culture it or I doubt it will work unless you have two people playing, one in first and one to time the blue shell throw.
