Well I would like to point out that you canet get out of EVERY item, such as the blue shell or getting run over by a star.
Although you can also get out of the pow by being in the air when it hits.
Also now that I think about it you can get out of the blue shell by going on DK's level and right when you get to that part where you go on a jet that takes you to the other side of the level the blue shell wont hit you. This is also a way to get out of lightening.
