Once you get hit by an item, when do you accelerate, and is it possible to stop yourself from getting spun around fully when u get hit by a "POW"? I'd be very greatful for any advice or help
If you are using a bike/kart with low acceleration and get hit by a banana,fake item box,etc. Press both the acceleration button and brake button and you will get a little boost after 3 seconds.
Just perform a trick when the pow block almost hits the third time. I don't think you can really, avoid spinning out of Banana's, but I always see CPU's doing it..
