 Item Box |
Mario Kart takes items from the Mario universe to use as tools for you to win!
Some items attack and hinder your opponents, slowing them down. Others help speed you up. Still others can be used defensively to guard against certain other items.
The above picture is that of an item box. Run through one of those to get an item. It works kind of like a slot machine, in that the item icon will start spinning at the top of your screen for a few seconds before actually giving you your item.
 Come on.... |
 Ahh, another Banana Peel? |
You can only have one item in your inventory at a time. Therefore, if the item can be drug, you can carry up to two items (one in your inventory and one behind you).
How you use items differs from controller to controller.
Gamecube – L to use, hold to drag. Hold back/forward on the joy stick to throw.
Classic – L to use, hold to drag. Hold back/forward on the joy stick to throw.
Nunchuk – Z to use, hold to drag. Hold back/forward on the joy stick to throw.
Wheel – If Automatic – B to use, hold to drag. D-pad to throw forward or back.
If Manual – D-pad to use (no dragging).
Let me explain some of the above.
Some items are normally just dropped behind you, like Banana Peels. If you press forward when you go to use it, it will be thrown out ahead of you instead of just dropped.
Shells, on the other hand, normally shoot out straight. If you are holding back when you press use, it will go behind you.
Most items can also be drug behind you by holding the use button. Dragging items helps in more ways then one: for starters, it lets you carry two items (one in your inventory and the one being drug). The item being drug will also work as a shield, taking the impact of Shells so you don’t get hit.
Ok, let me show you how this section looks:
