I know that the Spiny Shell removes your item, but when I play, the POW Block comes up far more often than the Spiny Shell does.
 
lightning bolts are worse too

pow blocks aren't that bad unless you're just about to get hit by a red shell or you're near a ramp.
 
Chain Chomps rip right through them :D
 
If you put a banana at the bridge in Dino Dino Jungle (the one after the cave) computers in 150cc just usually drive off on their own for some reason.

It will also work (at least from my experience) at the start of the large bridge leading to the cave, if you plant the banana on the left side (right side in Mirror Mode).

lightning bolts were certainly the bane of my existence when i played mario kart, sometimes there would be like 4 or 5 of them in one race, its really absurd.
 
Lightning bolts were a waste of time in Mario Kart Wii's battle mode. You lose your item and your Mega Mushroom effects, but your opponents can't hit you because of post-damage invincibility and smaller size. It's a lose-lose situation.

I've actually had a few scenarios were a lightning bolt saved me from a Spiny Shell.
