Also, the first eleven only appear in this game, while the twelfth one goes on to appear in every installment since.
===Normal Items===
Item	Description 	Placements
Banana	The Banana will spin you out if you even dare to hit one! You can defend yourself with this item. 	1st-5th
Triple Banana	New to Koopa Kart Advance, the Triple Banana creates a line of three Bananas that protects you from up to three items. 	1st-3rd
Green Shell	The Green Shell travels in a straight line and bounces off walls. It flips over any kart it hits. You can use this as a means of defense by holding it behind you. 	1st-5th
Triple Green Shell	The Triple Green Shell deploys a line of three Green Shells behind your kart that can be used defensively or offensively. 	2nd-5th
Red Shell	The Red Shell automatically targets the kart in front of you, flipping it over unless it has a means of defense. 	1st-8th
Triple Red Shell	The Triple Red Shell deploys a line of three Green Shells behind your kart that can be used defensively or offensively. 	4th-8th
Fake Item Box	The Fake Item Box looks like a real Item Box, except it has an upside down question mark and is colored red, though it will hide its color from a distance. Unlike in previous entries, it can't be used to block items. It flips over the player who hits it. 	1st-5th
Blue Spiny Shell	The dreaded Blue Spiny Shell targets the racer in 1st place and runs into it, tossing it upwards with an explosion. This game gives it wings, meaning it flies over other racers on its way to 1st place. This item can be avoided if you skillfully perform a drift.	4th-8th
Mushroom	The classic Mushroom gives you a speed boost that allows you to ignore off-road terrain that would normally slow you down. use this to make shortcuts. 	2nd-8th
Triple Mushroom	The Triple Mushroom gives you three speed boosts, though you can only use one speed boost at a time. This is your default item in Time Trial mode. 	3rd-12th
Star	The Star gives you invincibility, allowing you to bowl over players and protect yourself from every single item. The effect lasts for 7.5 seconds. 	7th-12th
Lightning	The Lightning item will zap everyone except you, slowing them down and making them drop their items. If you're in last place, you will grow back almost instantly. However, if you're in first place, you will be small for a long time. 	9th-12th
===Special Items===
Item	Description 	Placements	Characters
Green Paratroopa Shell/Paratroopa Shell(New Item)	The newly introduced Paratroopa Shell acts like the Blue Spiny Shell, except the Green one targets a random player, while the Red one targets the nearest player ahead of you. 	2nd-5th (Green)

Golden Mushroom	The Golden Mushroom gives you infinite speed boosts for 7-8 seconds, allowing you to ignore off-road terrain and make huge shortcuts. 	6th-12th 	Chargin' Chuck and Shy Guy
Chain Chomp (New Item)	The newly introduced Chain Chomp attaches himself to the front of your kart, allowing you to autopilot the track and bowl over any players within your path. This item is somewhat reckless, though, as he will move around erratically and possibly send you flying off the track. Have you been forgetting to train him? Well, you will see a similar item in the next installment, so don't get used to him for too long.	5th-10th 	Monty Mole and Popple
Bob-omb (New Item)	The new Bob-omb will count down before exploding, tossing any kart upwards and making it drop its items. It isn't a good idea to hold this behind you, because this means disaster for you! 	2nd-6th 	Cackletta and Fawful

==Trivia==
*This is the last Koopa Kart game to feature just new tracks, as starting from the next Koopa Kart game, there will be retro tracks alongside the new tracks. It is also the last Koopa Kart game where Hammer Bro and Dry Bones are heavyweights and Monty Mole, Shy Guy, Spiny, and Buzzy Beetle are middleweights. The first one will become a middleweight, while the remaining five will become lightweights.
*Starting from this game, Lakitu is a middleweight.
*This and Super Koopa Kart are the only Koopa Kart games without any unlockable characters. Similarly, this is the only Koopa Kart game to feature more characters than it does courses; there are twenty-four characters in this game and only sixteen courses in this game.
