mario-kart-8
Often times I'll be racing and the game will give me the Piranha Plant. This item seems to be a timed item which will be used up after a certain number of seconds. I often want to ditch the item before the next series of ? boxes. Is there a way of doing so?
Is there any way to drop the Piranha Plant in Mario-Kart 8 (even if you must do so before using the item)?
You can boost out of the way or use the environment to avoid the Blue Shell but these methods are unreliable.
The only reliable way to avoid the Blue Shell is to use the Super Horn.
The Super Horn :
If you pick up the Super Horn you should hold onto it until you need to use it against the Blue Shell.
From some light research around Google, the consensus seems to be that it is a highly sought-after feature, yet it was not implemented for Mario Kart 8, for whatever reason. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to split the screen between gamepad and TV. Off-TV play is available for Singleplayer, but when a second, third, or fourth player joins, it is not possible.

No, sadly. The only way to get rid of it would be to be hit by an attack that makes you drop items, like Lightning.
