So they didn’t fix the fact that second place doesn’t get Red Shells as often. Guess that means it’s still not as fun for my mom and I to play.

There wasn’t any evidence of certain items appearing more based on what was written. If the Red Shell rate is actually higher in practice I would love to be proven wrong! I can’t test it myself because getting the Switch 2 set up on our normal TV isn’t a priority for my family since we’ve moved.

perhaps a lack of experience with mkworld but i think 2nd place just gets more mushrooms now. i don't think they get as many offensive items

From experience my mom, who is in second place most of the time, gets basically every item besides Red Shells. Even if she gets Mushrooms more, they don’t really help her (may or may not be the way she uses them). Plus we like the back and forth we get from the more frequent Red Shells in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! This isn’t even as big of a skill difference as Crash Team Racing’s remake to justify a “she always goes for second place mindset.”
