Ranking Every Item in Mario Kart 

BAMMMMM!! Seriously though, huge thanks for having me in this, was a lot of fun and it turned out great!

7:48 "It doesn't get more rad than that!" *Proceeds to list off 14 items more rad/better than that*

10:28 “Instead of 7 items which adds the blooper” Coin: I guess I’m so useless people forget about me

Fun fact: In Mario Kart DS, the star will make the characters dance.

Crazy seven: 7th place, features seven items, including the Star Star: 3rd place

Little Correction: Crazy 8 adds coin, not Blooper.

When it's the last lap, you're 2nd and your last powerup is a coin...

Bowser Shell "This is by far one of the most fun items to use!" _is number 24_

“The only item that sends the racer into a straight panic” *Gets a chain chomp on rainbow road*

"the only item that sends the racer into a straight panic" *gets triple mushroom on rainbow road*

In Mario Kart, Waluigi can summon a Piranha Plant But in Smash, Piranha Plant can summon a Waluigi

Item Smugglers in Wii: Let's get this Golden Mushroom to 1st place so we can avoid the Blue Shell. POW Block: Let me stop you right there.

1:09 if you get a coin in MK8D as a item,As long you hold the coin as a item you will always get a defensive item

Blue shells, the source of many broken controllers, hopes and dreams.

Nothing was more hype than me un-strategically mashing the A button when I got the golden mushroom item in Mario Kart 64

Blue Shell: gets 18th place* Also Blue Shell: Throws itself to the first place*

8:52 AHHH

Golden mushroom: *exists* Rainbow Road: I’m about to end this man’s whole career

I love getting a nice green shell snipe the best

10:30 it doesn’t add the blooper it adds an even more useless coin haha

The thunder cloud is actually one of my favorite items. Me and my best friend freak the bleep out whenever we see someone with the thunder cloud.

“The only item that sends the player into a straight panic” Blue Shell: Am I a joke to you?

9:37 Quick correction, the Mega Mushroom doesn't block lightning, it only makes it shrink you to normal size as opposed to being tiny.

12:29 the music of choice works perfectly in this scene

I feel like blooper is way to underated on maps like koopa city you can easily fall of bc it makes it more slippery

The redshells are scarry in DS they sometimes evade your defence attaking you from the side

Just saying how is a star better than crazy 8 /7 Like crazy 8 /7 is a star with a red shell and a bomb attached

Man, the Thunder Cloud 🌩 could actually be a very useful, strategic item, if you could choose when to use it.

When the very first item you get in a race is a Thunder Cloud.

“The only item that sends the racer into a straight panic” Golden mushrooms on rainbow road 200 cc: “Am I a joke to you?”

5:41 “But with Mario Kart 8, 7, and DS...” *cries in Mario Kart Wii*

Item 16, I prefer it as “Boom box”. When it makes a loud sound disabling the racers and other obstacles, it goes BOOM with the stretching of sound waves going all directions. That’s also why I believe it to be BOOM BOX.

there’s nothing more devistating than when your in first and you see a blue she’ll come around the mini-map

“Triple mushrooms and golden mushrooms are good items” Unless you are playing on rainbow road

8:31 “hitting players from behind is the best way to use this”... loses 7 spots in the race 😂

10:22 the crazy 8 actually adds the coin, the blooper is included with the lucky 7 too

I would say the blooper serves it purpose when you’re new to a track. However for most people who know the tracks quite well it doesn’t o much because you already know the track

Video: *Talks about how much better Yoshi egg is than red shell" Yoshi on screen: * gets hit by red shell*

8:53 a jump scare warning would of been nice ...

I actually really like the thunder cloud, yes it sends you in panic but that's what makes it unique and adds to the item strategy since you're forced to use it

#1 was quite shocking. I regret nothing. XD

Sometimes that blooper hits just right and is actually completely blinding

Troy: Golden Mushroom is very rad. *showing clip of bad golden usage*

Me: *in 1st place* *sees blue shell* Me: *slows down to let the person behind me overtake me*

Basically me when a blue shell is heading for me: *backs up all the way to 6th place* Blue shell: I'ma still come for you even tho you ain't in 1st place.

Well i never get the fun items because i'm *always **_first_*

When the Boo item came back for MK8 Deluxe, I feel like they've weakened it. I swear it was better in 64 and DS.

In the crazy 8, you get everything in Mario kart 7 and adds one coin. OK NATHANIEL

My ideas for Mario Kart Items: Lakitu- A lakitu picks you up and drags you forwards really fast for a few seconds, like a way shorter bullet bill. It flies above the track so it can't hit other racers, but Ii leaves behind a spiny where it picked you up, which acts just like a banana. This makes it useful if someone is right behind you because you can get away from them and possibly hit them with the spiny. Golden Shell- very similar to the green shell, but if you use it for defense it can block 2 items instead of one. When you throw it, it acts like a green shell but bounces for twice as long, causes a slightly longer spin-out, and it can’t hurt the person who threw it. If it had already blocked one item before you threw it, it will only go half as far. Cloud Flower- This one time use item allows you to create a bouncy cloud directly below you, which you will immediately bounce on, similar to a bouncy mushroom but with a much smaller bounce. This gives you a small speed boost and can allow you to cross small gaps, as it can be placed even if there is no ground below you. However, it lasts for 5 seconds, so other players can bounce on it too if they are quick enough. Fuzzy- A giant fuzzy the size of a kart circles around your vehicle for 10 seconds. It can block an unlimited amount of items while it is circling you, but it circles rather slowly so there is a decent chance the item will still hit you if you aren’t careful. If you hit other players with it, they will spin out for a long time (2.25 seconds). You can still use and collect other items while the fuzzy is circling you.

Someone in 1st place: *exists* Blue shell: _It’s free real estate_

I think blooper keeps being included because it is one of those items thats soooo simple, and annoying af, yet so effective 🤷‍♂️

3:14 thats what she said

Wait hold up he did not just say lightning is better than bullet bill

Golden Mushroom: Exists SNES Rainbow road: Allow me to introduce myself

The red shell in Mario Kart DS can sometimes avoid being blocked, but it doesn’t stop you for too long. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, they seem to spawn at least 6-7 a race.

The Crazy 8 adds a coin, not a blooper

Green shell’s usefulness depends entirely on the track your playing, since it can go off the edge of the map. It’s utterly useless in Rainbow Road from long distance.

“The only item that gives the racer a panic” *cough* blue shell *cough*

2:24 Wii sports resort, nice, also agree with everything on this list, especially the cloud

i like how at 2:30 the “wii sports” song comes on in the background

“A mushroom inside a million mushrooms” um I think you got that one backwards.

I still love the way Double Dash's items worked. It made every character more unique and the fact that everyone had their own special weapons was awesome!

The boomerang flower deserves a higher place in my opinion. It can bypass enemy defenses. It even breaks whatever shell, banana, etc.

#4 When i was younger,i used to call golden mushroom "royal mushroom",just because of the crown

I'll never understand why out of any game they added the Blooper they added it in Mario Kart DS. You know one of the two games that gives you a bottom screen that you can use to see the rest of the race. Edit : Thanks for the heart Nathaniel Bandy

Once in Mario kart 64 battle mode I used a boo to steal my sister's boo.

something i want to mention is in mario kart super circuit you can drop the red shell behind you and it will sit there like a banana until someone passes by it and then it goes after that player good for keeping opponents at bay 👌

"You have 8 items adding the blooper!" Thats not true. The only extra item you get in Crazy 8 is a coin.

Me: *1st place and sees Blue Shell* SOME ONE GET IN FRONT OF ME

Warning jump scare at 8:53 you’re welcome

I Love that Mario Kart Tour has used so many items from all Games. Even the specials from double dash

I love the effects from the power ups

The lightning cloud is the worst item ever. Especially when you pass it on but it comes back somehow

Actually, the Crazy 8 adds a Coin, which, as you mentioned, is not very good as an item

Ouch. I absolutely love the lightning cloud. It adds a risk/reward element that no other item has.

I like how the Starman plays a song that makes me feel like such a special guy!

Some one in first place: TOOOO BEAST Blue Shell: I'm about end this whole man's career

You ranked "lucky seven" as the 7th best item HMM

*My dad used to think the blue shell was a flying tennis shoe. I have no idea how this happened.*

11:27 BAM SHOCK DODGE!

Wait crazy 8 doesn’t add the blooper, lucky 7 had that... it added the coin

"No character specific items" *puts items that only 4 characters can use*

Coin is actually very big brain item, in competitive races, we use coins as an “anti-boo” system. This way, when someone is front running, they don’t have to worry about a boo taking their banana or shell right before getting hit. Plus, when you have a coin, the second item you get is a guaranteed defensive item (shell, banana etc). This is of course only on mk8 delix

Troy sounds chill while Bandy sound MAD. LOL

The crazy 8 didn't add the blooper, it added the coin, so they are basically the same item

“The cloud is the only item that sends the player into a complete panic.” *_My friend, have you heard of the blue shell?_*

Red shells can be spawned at 2nd place which is an easy pick for first place and really reliable

2:57 I call them the Three Muske-peels

In my opinion, I think the Lucky 7 and Crazy 8 is better than the Star, because they're both a star and a bunch of other items combined. Another downside though, is that other players can take your star as it's rotating around your kart.

6:33 Bad example using Ribbon Road in the screen, a track that blocks any blue shell due its jumps.

Love the Wii sports resort theme in the background.

I love the fake item box. If you go around just setting it at random places, then yeah, it's easy to detect and avoid; but the key is to put it in the same area as other item boxes. With the banana, the key is to put it around curves where people usually drift or to put it at a narrow pathway, like a bridge.

*6:43** I grew up playing Mario Kart Wii and I still think the POW block is trash*

10:27 correction: Crazy 8 just adds a coin to your arsenal of items

Me: Oh no, a blue shell is coming! Item box, give me a super horn! Item box: That's a weird way to say coin.

The word "CHANCE" is aligned perfectly with the lightning strike

Them: Talks about pow block timing Me, a Mario Kart Wii “pro”: (Smirk)

0:54 “It’s the only item in any mario kart game that sends the racer into straight panic” Person: driving Game: shows blue shell coming Person: stress level 99%

10:29 Actually, the Crazy Eight adds a Coin. That's the only difference between the Lucky Seven and the Crazy Eight. A single Coin. I'd personally rank Bullet Bills higher than Lightning, but Lightning still affects everyone else ahead of or behind the user.

This is an item when the star and the chain chomp made a baby. I laughed so hard at that lol 😂
