Best Mario Kart 8 Items

The Top Ten
1 Bullet Bill

This really helps people who suck. It auto drives for you and goes faster than Starman with a mushroom! It kills everyone in your path, and ends when your in the middle of the race. So how can this not be number #2

2 Super Horn

Super Horn is garbage. It made a crappy game called Mario Kart 8 easier for noobs.

(Mario voice) SO LONGAY BLUE SHELL

I find 50% of all the items useful.

Get that garbage outta here!

3 Starman

Oh yeah.. Your invincible for 10 seconds straight, nothing can touch you or you die. Not lighting, super horn, blue she'll, nothing. You can also perform what I like to call 'trollman' stop in the middle of the race on a sharp turn (try on SNES rainbow road) and wait for people to flip over you and pummel to the ground. Oh yeah.

4 Lighting Bolt

How does Lighting possibly shrink someone? No ones knows. But that doesn't stop me from disliking it. I'm surprised the blue shell is more hated than this. This item shrinks everyone and sometimes causes you to fall. It's also a bit overwhelming when it just happens out of nowhere.

When I get a mystery box, I NEVER get this item.

5 Crazy 8

This Item is obviously the Best item and Most useful, but it really lacks originality. It's copy and pasting the Lucky 7 and adding a 'coin' which would be number 20. But this is 8 items including Starman and a redshell and even blooper, that gives it number 10.

There are stores in Mario? (I know this is supposed to be the power up)

6 Piranha Plant The Piranha Plant, known as the Pakkun Flower in Japan, is a plant species from the Mario franchise which usually appears as a leafy green stalk topped with a white-spotted red or green globe, with a maw lined with sharp teeth reminiscent of piranhas.

Who here expected a phirana plant to be an item? No one. But it sure is an awesome choice! This items gets an PP in front of your kart and it bites anyone that tries to pass, including incoming items. I like it also because it snips every 5 seconds give you a boost.

7 Boomerang Flower

This is One of the new items and I like all of the new ones. This one gives you a boomerang you may throw 3 times. It's not especially good, saying its knock back is like getting hit by a banana. But it can slow many people down, and is VERY original.

8 Triple Red Shells

Oh yeah. I love the feeling of pulling out these babies. Just watching the guy In first flip out 3 times is awesome. It also protects you from weapons and people behind you wouldn't dare skip ahead.

9 Blue Shell The spiny shell, commonly referred to as the blue shell, is a well-known power-up item of the Mario Kart series of video games.

I was on 200cc Bowsers Castle Online (8 Deluxe)And a Mii In 1st stopped accelerating due to a Blue Shell to Not Get hit and I passed him not seeing the Blue Shell on the map. He Must Not have seen I had a Shroom (The Most Overpowered Item) So I Dodged it.

I hate when you are in first and someone throws it on you.

I threw it at someone in Online Race and then I won! Yay!

A lot of People hate this item, and I don't blame them. It can be really annoying at times (especially in Wii and 7) but it does balance the race. Imagine your taking a drive threw royal raceway, than suddenly that goda** blue she'll comes and ruins your stroll. Suddenly your in 7th place! That can be annoying. But I love when I get it.

10 Bob-omb Bob-ombs are a species found throughout the Mario series. They are small bomb-shaped beings who can create explosions by detonating themselves or being detonated.
The Contenders
11 Golden Mushroom

This item is strange. It's a great idea, unlimited mushrooms for a short time, but it won't get you anywhere of your far behind. And for hard and sharp courses, good luck avoiding the walls

Makes you go faster.

12 Fire Flower
13 Red Shell
14 Triple Mushrooms
15 Triple Green Shell
16 Triple Banana
17 Mushroom
18 Blooper Bloopers (Often Referred To Bloobers Until Paper Mario, Though Blooper was in use beforehand) are Squid-Like creatures that are found in the ocean. They made their first appearance in Super Mario Bros., and various kinds of them have appeared in the Mario games since, normally as enemies. Mario Party 8 was the first game to feature blooper as a playable character. Bloopers come in different sizes and colors, though the original variety shown in super Mario Bros is white.
19 Banana
20 Coin

How is this on the list it's so pointless

For some reason I love these.

21 Green Shell
