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.

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.

|
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.

Transforms the player into a Bullet Bill, rocketing through the track with auto-pilot, and providing invincibility from all terrain and items.

File:NSMBW Boo Artwork.png Boo
|
Allows the player to become invisible to other racers for 10 seconds. While invisible, players will also be granted immunity to items and obstacles. Activating the item will also allow Boo to steal an item from a randomly selected racer in front of the player. If there are no items to steal, Boo will bring back a single Mushroom by default. If Boo steals a multiple usage item or a timed item, it will be returned to the player fresh. Boo cannot steal Crazy 8's, or Piranha Plants and Bullet Bills already in use. Only one Boo can be in play at a time; once it brings back an item, another can appear in item boxes again, even while the other player is still invisible. Players who are under the effect of a Super Star or even a Boo are not immune to Boo's item stealing.

File:MK8 Deluxe Art - Cape Feather.png Feather
|
Causes the player to spin and leap in the air, providing a small speed boost upon landing, akin to a regular trick (characters will also perform a trick animation during the jump). When used near an opponent, the player steals a balloon, 3 coins, or the Shine Sprite from them, depending on the mode; however, the player needs to touch the opponent to steal from them, either by touching them upon use, or upon landing. Can be used on trickable places to gain more height, though does not grant more height if used while airborne, and cancels the gliding immediately. Exclusive to Battle Mode.
