Defensive Powerups Brainstorming Discussion
Posted: 12 Mar 2015, 19:50
Hi everyone,
There have been many discussions about powerups in the past on this forum. I was just browsing through a few today and started getting some ideas. Many people (me included) think that there should be more defensive powerups. There have been multiple good suggestions on this forum, so I thought I'd bring some together here.
Many people believe that cakes are too powerful. I partially agree with this and liked some suggestions made on the cakes discussion. Here are some ideas I had for defensive powerups:
Make the flyswatter partially defensive (i.e. making it defend against cupcakes and/or basketballs only)
Defensive only tennis racket or baseball bat (maybe even make it deflect weapons onto other karts)
A fan that blows weapons away
A water pistol that shoots down weapons (also defensive only)
A bumper for bowling ball defense
An umbrella for weapon defense
An Ice cube that can be thrown to freeze weapons (could be used only once)
I also liked these ideas by other people on this forum:
An emergency light that prevents you from being hit and gives you extra acceleration
Making the cakes into mines when they're thrown backwards
Hope this can generate some creativity and thought about defensive powerups!
Thanks everyone!
