Brocolli and cauliflowers are flowers as well.

Did you see the menu in Coconut Mall? The Mushroom Kingdom inhabitants have a very strange diet.

It's a fast food restaurant, what would you expect? Plus, if you think about it, that's all they have there. What else can eat? Dirt? (Animal Crossing Wild World Reference)

On the subject of blue shells, I'd personally like to see those demons in the form of an item removed completely.

As much as some people hate them they probably won't (or shouldn't, in all honestly) be removed because

As MSnG said, the Spiny Shell is indeed a necessary evil to balance the races.

There is another way to balance out a race without stuff like that such as giving the players that are really far behind another player boost mushrooms.

I find the blue shell in Mario Kart 7 fine, because it can touch players on its road, which makes this item actually useful for the player who throw it. And I agree this item is needed to give a chance to the others to win if the first is far from the second.

The reception can be mixed, however, since some may prefer the Flying Spiny Shell over the grounded one.

No it doesn't, it does not benefit anybody nor does it balance out anything. It wasn't in the first mario kart nor was it in the gba version. A race does not need to be balanced out. Maybe the people in last or far behind need to actually practice so they can actually catch up. The people who are in first don't get that far ahead of the other players. You very seldom get in last and if you do, you usually skyrocket to the lead very easily.

You clearly don't get what Mario Kart is about. They wanted to create a game where all players have a chance of winning the race, even those that are less skilled. That's why we have items like the Spiny Shell or the Golden Mushroom. Also, it is indeed possible for a player to pull far ahead of everyone else if they keep consistent racing lines and somehow survive the mess that happens at the beginning of the race.

Also, FYI, the Spiny Shell does appear in Mario Kart: Super Circuit.
