Today I’m ranking all 46 Items throughout the entire Mario Kart series! To do so, I ranked every item based on 3 factors: how fun it is, how powerful it is, and how happy I’d be to pull it from an item box. Hope you enjoy!

    Boo is good at ballancing out bullet bills, keeping players from holding it for too long. Also, it defends against shells and lightning.
  • @cobalt9603
    The mega mushroom disrespect is criminal
  • @chaokid999
    I'll always prefer the row of bananas to the rotating triple bananas. It was so fun and so easy to trip people up with all those bananas behind you.
  • @ZERODE11
    Blue shell is good for getting revenge but the front runners hate it
  • @henryogaoa
    God...i dont remember disagree so much with a ranking like this. Btw nice video!
  • @OmegaDrive987
    A few comments: Boo and Mega Mushroom DESERVED to be higher, as both can do what a star does. If you were to focus primarily on 8 Deluxe, yeah, the Boo doesn't let you go off-road. However, in 64 and DS, the Boo is a star, but better. Plus, with the Boo, you have a chance of stealing a Star. I can understand the Fake Item Box being low, but it looks near identical to an item box in some games (64 and DS). Also, there is no feasible way a SINGLE MUSHROOM ranks higher than A BULLET BILL.
  • It should be mentioned that the Piranha Plant will actually eat Bloopers.
  • @ASCENSiON_
    Oh, an item rankings video! This should be a fun watch to pass time! *bro puts an item that grants invulnerability, and is capable of dodging shocks near the very bottom of the list* I think I just took brain damage...
  • @SamRegan610
    As a consistent Tour player, the Banana Barrels and Bubble are the worst items in that game by far and I avoid using racers that have them. The Banana Barrels only shoot Bananas in front of you, and what you said about throwing Bob-ombs in front of you applies like 20-fold here since you're littering the track with Bananas and can easily slip on any of them, all while the barrels keep shooting. Then the Bubble is just plain awful. You completely lose control of your kart, and you move so slow that you might as well just mash to break it and you'll be better off. And being able to do that even wasn't possible until the 3.0.0 update! Luckily only a handful of characters get these items, with (currently) only Diddy Kong and Funky Kong getting the Banana Barrels, and Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, Lemmy, and the Cheep Cheep and Lemmy Mii Racing Suits having the Bubble
  • “Mid-a-mushroom.” cocks gun nobody disrespects my big boy
  • @elkarlo1593
    Blooper is very helpful in Mario Kart DS single player, since it slows down CPUs by making them Zig zag around, but that really doesn't make it good in general, especially in later games where that behaviour is removed
  • @SloweDogMusic
    The POW item can hit anyone on the track, as long as they are a place in front of you
  • @usausa3234
    I miss the fake mystery question box. They need to add it!!!

  • @GameBlock_
    The video was great! Also that song at 5:00 was pretty insane... in the rain
  • BRO the boo makes you invisible, invincible, allows you to pass through certain obstacles, GETS you an item which it STEALS from someone else, and gives you the chance to dodge a shock! ITS SO GOOD
  • @simplyNKH
    Even though the fake item box is not very useful, it just feels so right in mk wii
