Special Items
Like in Mario Kart:Double Dash!!, you're able to get special items, based on your character. In normal mode, there's a small chance of getting a special item out of an item box. The chance also gets smaller if you're climbing in the leaderboard. In Double Dash mode, there's a double chance, considering there are two characters in the kart.
*Mario/Luigi: Plunger (Throws a plunger to a racer close to you, causing him/her to get sent back in the race as far as the plunger reaches.)
*The princesses: Heart (Protects them from one item, and gives them the same item.)
*Babies: Chain Chomp (Works like a Bullet Bill, but bigger. Plus, the chain can break every moment, making it bounce over the whole course.)
*Yoshi/Birdo: Egg (Works like a green shell, but it will not disappear before another lap starts, and there is a bigger chance to hit someone.)
*Toad/Toadette: Ultra Mushroom (Makes them boost as much as they want for 10 seconds.)
*The Kongs: Super Banana (A banana, but much bigger. Plus, it won't disappear before a new lap starts.)
*The Bowser family: Bowser shell (A green shell, but much bigger. Won't disappear for a whole lap.)
*Wario/Waluigi: Ultra Magnet (A coin magnet, but it will also steal coins from people close, and will spin them out.)
*Petey Piranha: Piranha Plant (Bites racers in fronts, and gains speed boosts while uiting.
*Nabbit: Sack (Will steal 3 items from other players, if available.)
*E-Gadd: Hypnotize (Will cause every racer close at the back of him to spin out.)
*Shy Guy: Flying carpet (Makes him fly to skip bits of the course.)
*Dry Bones: Bone Flower (Makes him throw bones.)
*Koopa Troopa: Super Shell (A bigger green shell.)
*Metal Mario: Metal Mushroom (Transforms his whole kart into metal, which makes everything what hits it bounce back.)
*King Boo/King Bob-Omb: Crown (Will move them places up. How many places, depends on their rank.)
