blooper nanny: you can use a normal blooper to ink everyone, then get 3 tiny bloopers you throw at people to ink

P-Switch; all coins turn into oversized brick blocks, functioning as an object that halts any velocity by bumping into it

The leaf exists as a twirl in mk 7, which i found cool. The statue leaf could do the same, yet function as if you would ram someone really really hard with your cart, bouncing them to the side.

That fake invisibility star has to be the most creative item you've ever come up with. NICE VIDEO MAN.

At least the fake item boxes in Mario Kart 64 actually look like real item boxes, just with the upside-down question mark

Fly guy who flys around you and grabs nearby items on the ground.

Fun fact the capsule is already a special item in Mario kart tour!

4:15 I think the p switch could turn coins into bricks, that would be like adding temporary obstacles, maybe it could also grant a speed boost as how it is feels annoying

Feel like the coin related ones would need the coin count to be raised, or be almost infinite, like the 3d world crowns.

The red spiney shell will target the first racer and will drop fire balls 3:36

The Spring and the On/Off switch seem like actual items that could realistically be in the game! especially the spring, really good concept!

Honestly, these powerups are relatively reasonable. I could definitely see Nintendo using some of these items as a gimmick for potentially the next Mario Kart game, with the gimmick being an item refresh/new items.

12:15 - imagine yoinking a horn when a blue is coming

I really hope most of these come to a Mario kart game in the future at some point. These are all amazing ideas!!

You could have the lava bubble from motion odyssey spawn a lava circle on the floor and when someone lands on it they spin out and the lava bubble jumps up in the air and drops back down witch can hit the players behind if they run into it then disappears after landing!

Id say music box and moon make it harder to turn
Alot more fun
And id also make the light just make stuff hared to see
And polterpup could make people spin out where its digging

The Thunder Cloud from Wii already does what the Grrols would do.
I don't think people really understood that the Thunder Cloud gives you a good speed boost, as well as making you able to off road without losing speed, making it really good for shortcuts.
However, there was a little risk of the shock happening, so just be sure to pass it onto someone else before it goes off on yourself.
It was a personal favorite item of mine from the Wii, and I'm still a little upset that it hasn't been used since, but I guess so many other items haven't really been used in this game from other games.

13:14 In Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, the Mike item can only be used for 3 times, and the damage it makes will be higher for each use.
Also, the first and second hit can only damage enemies in front of them, but the third hit effects the whole screen.
So, I think the Mike item attack opponents in front of you in the first two use (the second attack will have a longer range than the first attack) then act like a horn (with a larger range) in the third hit.
Also, the Mike item can be used to dodge items (and clear out negative effects, in the third attack) but can't be used to dodge blue shells.

Yay back to ACTUAL video 👌🏼

I think of more items,
Gold baby Yoshi: you can shine light that makes all nearby players players unable to see, so just a area version of your light box
Yarn ball: when you use it a reticle shows up, it moves back and forth, you then use the item button again and it bounces around in the direction of the reticle untill it hits someone (so a version of a egg/yarn from Yoshis island series) or bounces 10 times
Big yarn ball: yarn ball but it doesn’t break when it hits someone, bounces 20 times
