fake item
Fake out rivals with the Fake Item. You can throw it forward or drop it behind you. The Fake Item will stay put until another kart runs into it, which triggers the box's mini-explosion, frying the kart's steering for a few moments. In Grand Prix, you'll have a fair chance of getting a Fake Item when in first place, and less of a chance in second or third.
