L	Fire straight at the leader!

Details

Send a pissed-off explosive after 1st place! The Self-Propelled Bomb will chase them down and menace them until they mess up, or until a new leader takes their place.

As it travels, it drops “Shockwaves” in its path, speeding up anyone who passes through the ring of electricity.

When YOU'VE got it...	When THEY'VE got it...
Once you’ve fired the SPB, focus on the Shockwaves! When you pass through one, the high current will launch you forward in a unique boost. Shockwaves grow stronger over time, bringing the whole race closer together. Everyone’s aiming for one thing—crushing the leader! If you’re feeling spiteful, catch someone in the SPB’s initial path for a modest spinout. Touching an Item Capsule with an SPB will automatically release it. There are certain paths that 1st place should never take…	The SPB is a frontrunner’s worst nightmare, but a cool head can keep you in good shape. First, take stock of your situation. How’s your ring count? Where’s 2nd place? How long do you need to stay leading? You’ll need Rings to stay ahead on slopes, and they help a lot on tight corners, but the SPB blocks Ring pickup. What’s your plan? Burn to 0 and look for Super Ring in item boxes? Restock through landing Tricks? Go without and grit your teeth? Outrun the Bomb for as long as you can—the longer it flies, the more the explosion powers down. Hold on for long enough, and you might be able to dust yourself off and keep the lead. …Of course, when you’re 6 turns ahead, maybe it’s better to avoid all this and hold onto a Lightning Shield…
