Static Orb

The Static Orb is an item that only appears in the console version of Crash Nitro Kart. It appears as a purple bubble that is encompassed with static electricity. When a racer obtains it, they have the option to emit the orb onto the track. When the orb is placed on the track, it serves as an obstacle that other racers must try to avoid. If a racer manages to run into one, their kart will momentarily spin out, and their current item that they are carrying will be randomly switched.
Once a racer has collected 10 Wumpa Fruit, the orb will receive a power boost, and will appear as a pink orb this time. When the pink orb is placed on the track, it locks onto the nearest kart and tries to lock in on it. If the orb hits the kart, the racer will spin out for a longer period of time, and will also start to shift in the opposite direction. The racer will also lose their current item while under the influence of the pink orb.

*Manual
"These freestanding spheres of electric charge will shock anyone foolish enough to drive into one. Not only will it slow them down, but it will also short out the circuits in their kart and change their weapon to something else. Juiced - The orb will now be drawn to the karts that drive by it. It will also short out the karts even more, causing their steering to be reversed for a short time."
