Aggressive items for speedruns?

I was thinking about doing a speedrun on aggressive items, but aggressive items isn’t a category for speedrunning cups and tracks. Is there a reason for it not being an option? Or if there is no particular reason, do you think it is a good idea to add it?

Aggressive items would just be more unfair. I have never run this game, but surely that would be the least favoured category to run. I don't see why it can't be one though.

I kinda see your point there. Sure it would be a pain to actually speedrun on aggressive, because aggressive items = better items, so there would be a million blue shells per race. But it would be kind of neat to add, because I might have a strategy for aggressive: stay in 2nd for most of the race, and always use your items for defense. I also don’t see why we shouldn’t add it.
