Item Description Notes
[[File:SMKBanana.png]] [[File:SMK Banana.png]]
Banana Peel 		When a kart hits a Banana Peel, it spins out. Can be thrown backward and forward. Also used by Donkey Kong Jr. if he is CPU-controlled.
[[File:SMKGreenShell.png]] [[File:SMK Green Shell Track Sprite.png]]
Green Shell 		The Green Shell sends an enemy into a spin if they are hit. Green Shells can bounce off barriers. Throwing it backwards causes it to remain stationary. Can be thrown backward and forward. Used by Koopa Troopa if CPU-controlled, but they behave similar to Banana Peels even when thrown forward, and remain stationary.
[[File:SMKRedShell.png]] [[File:SMK Red Shell Track Sprite.png]]
Red Shell 		The Red Shell acts similarly to a Green Shell, but homes in on the target instead. It does not bounce off walls, however. Can be thrown only forward.
[[File:FeatherSMK.png]]
Feather 		A Feather allows the user to perform a high jump, high enough to take normally impossible shortcuts and to sail over obstacles and other racers. Can be used by every CPU.
[[File:SMKMushroom.png]]
Mushroom 		The Mushroom is a more common item than a Feather or a Star, and grants the user a slight boost. It can either be used to slam an opponent or drive over hazards such as sand and grass without losing speed. When using a Mushroom in front of a jump pad, the jump is higher and farther.
[[File:SMKStar.png]]
Star 		The Star provides two benefits, allowing the user to receive a small speed boost and to become invulnerable to everything. Contact with other racers causes them to spin out. Used also by Mario and Luigi if they are CPU-controlled. They do not receive a speed boost, however, and the effect does not last as long.
[[File:SMK Boo Item Box Sprite 1.png]] [[File:SMK Boo Item Box Sprite 2.png]]
Ghost 		The Ghost turns the user transparent for a few seconds and steals an opponent's item. Exclusive to Battle Mode and Match Race.
[[File:SMK Coin Item Box Sprite.png]] [[File:SMK Coin Sprite.png]]
Coin 		The Coin adds two coins to the total coin count, increasing the user's overall top speed. Does not appear in Battle Mode and Time Trial. Maximum benefit is achieved with 10 coins.
[[File:SMKLightning.png]]
Lightning 		The Lightning Bolt shrinks all the racers except for the user, making them slower and vulnerable to being squashed by normal sized racers. The effect wears off after a brief period of time. Does not appear in Battle Mode.
[[File:Yoshi Egg Super Mario Kart.png]]
Egg 		Works similar to a Banana Peel. Usable only by Yoshi if he is CPU-controlled.
[[File:SMKFireball.png]]
Fireball 		Similar to a Banana Peel, but oscillates from left to right on the spot, making them harder to pass safely. Usable only by Bowser if he is CPU-controlled.
[[File:PoisonMushroomSMK.png]]
Poison Mushroom 		A stationary item. If one is run into, the victim shrinks, as if hit by a Lightning Bolt. Shrunken racers who run into it revert to normal size. Usable only by Princess and Toad if they are CPU-controlled.

New Item 		Summons three Red Shells into a barrier that surrounds the racer that used the item. The player can either throw each shell or use it as a shield to other items. Thrown shells have the same effect as Red Shells.

Sprite Item Description
[[File:MKSC Mushroom Artwork.png]] Mushroom Obtained commonly by any-ranked drivers, using it grants the driver a great burst of speed within a moment. They can be used to go off-road more easily, and fly further after going over a ramp. They can also be used to bump drivers out of the way; those with no Coins will spin out instead.
[[File:MKSC Triple Mushrooms Artwork.png]] Triple Mushrooms Obtained exclusively in Time Trial and Versus modes. Drivers will have three Mushrooms instead of one. They cannot be replenished once they are all used until the Time Trial is over.
[[File:MKSC Banana Artwork.png]] Banana Obtained commonly by high-ranked drivers, they can be held on the back or thrown forward or dropped behind. They act as obstacles; drivers running over them will spin. The effect can nullified if the driver brakes upon running over it; success of the action is indicated by a music note symbol coming out from the driver. Any type of Shell or Star effects can destroy them.
[[File:MKSC Green Shell Artwork.png]] Green Shell Obtained commonly by high-ranked drivers, they can be held on the back or thrown forward or backward. Once thrown, they can bounce off walls multiple times before breaking; drivers hit by this will spin. Bananas, any type of Shells, or Star effects can destroy them.
[[File:MKSC Triple Green Shells Artwork.png]] Triple Green Shells Obtained uncommonly by higher-ranked drivers, three Green Shells revolve around the driver, shielding from most attacks. They act like Green Shells, but cannot be thrown backward.
[[File:MKSC Red Shell Artwork.png]] Red Shell Obtained uncommonly by any-ranked drivers, they can be held on the back or thrown forward or backward. If thrown forward, it will target the next high-ranked driver. If not, it will shoot straight instead and break upon hitting a single wall. If thrown backwards, they stay in a fixed position; if a driver goes near one, it will target them regardless of ranking. Bananas, any type of Shells, or Star effects can destroy them.
[[File:MKSC Triple Red Shells Artwork.png]] Triple Red Shells Obtained uncommonly by lower-ranked drivers, three Red Shells revolve around the driver, shielding from most attacks. They act like Red Shells, but cannot be thrown backward in a fixed position to target a driver regardless of ranking.
[[File:MKSC Spiny Shell Artwork.png]] Spiny Shell Obtained rarely by low-ranked drivers, with rarity determined by engine class, they can be held on the back or thrown forward or backward. It makes a continuously loud noise when used. If thrown forward, it will follow the track and targets the first-place driver; subsequent drivers caught in the path will spin out. If thrown backward, they stay in a fixed position to target the first-place driver passing by. Colliding with a wall or a ramp, falling into a pit or water, or hitting a driver with the star in effect can destroy them.
[[File:MKSC Boo Artwork.png]] Boo Obtained uncommonly by any-ranked drivers, they steal an item from a random driver if available, attacks the first-place driver, and grants invisibility for a moment. The driver is immune to all obstacles and items, and can pass through drivers without bumping, but it doesn't prevent them from losing speed off-road.
[[File:MKSC Star Artwork.png]] Star Obtained rarely by low-ranked drivers, they grant invincibility and increase their top speed, acceleration, and handling for a moment. Bumping a driver under this effect will spin them out. They are also used to go off-road without losing any speed and can destroy stage obstacles.
[[File:MKSC Lightning Artwork.png]] Lightning Obtained rarely by lower-ranked drivers, they shrink every other driver not using a Star or a Boo. Shrunk drivers lose speed and the ability to use Mushroom. Shrunk drivers run over by a normal driver will spin out. Shrunk drivers revert back to normal after a set amount of time or if they go into a pit.
