Mario Kart 8 Items

I've been noticing that in MK8 threads nobody mentions items a lot. I'm here to change that. This can be either returning items or new ones. I have a few ideas.

Ice Flower - Gets 5 shots. When it hits someone, they freeze and slide similar to how if you hit the Freezies in GCN Sherbet Land. Appears in 4-7th place.

Double Cherry - Makes 2 of you to race side by side. Items you get are duplicated. If one of the clones falls or gets hit by an item, it disappears. Appears in 4-11th place.

Metal Box - Briefly makes you invulnerable to items and obstacles. Weight is increased. You cannot spin out racers on touch and does not grant off-road immunity. Appears in 5-8th place.

For returning items, I'd like to see the Fake Item Box, Mega Mushroom, and Boo.
 
I want Triple Fake Items, Triple Bob-ombs, Ice Flower, and Cat Bell.

I want Boo, Fake Item, Mega Mushroom, and Lucky 7 back.

Lucky 7 was probably a one-off.

Triple Fake Items would be interesting, they could drag behind your back maybe?
What would the Cat Bell do?
I really don't think they would bring back Lucky 7, considering it was just a self-reference in MK7.
 
The Lucky 7 is an unbalanced piece of crap, and I don't think it will return.... unless Nintendo decides to add an 8-ball (like, billiards) or something.
 
I think this thread isn't necessary, as it can be discussed in the Mario Kart 8 thread. I do, however, hope that we get new items, because apparently, we're getting none this time. Maybe they just haven't been revealed yet? I hope so =/

As for returning items, I just want the Fake Item Box, the Mega Mushroom and Boo back. I never understood why they got rid of them. I have no idea about what new items we could get, but I think the Ice Flower could be interesting. Of course, you would spend only 3 seconds or less being frozen, otherwise it would be an unbalanced, broken piece of sh**.
 
Items are too unbalanced. We should remove them. In addition, too many tracks have hazards.

Behold the second coming of 20XX

Funky Kong only
No items

P-Wing: Allows player to fly when they move straight uninterrupted for at least 5 seconds. Allows for shortcuts.

Gold Shell: When thrown, it steals 5 coins from the player it hits. If the user already has 10 coins, this is ineffective.

I think Fake Boxes are useful at points. The slow down and the size of it can be better than a banana.
 
But Bananas have been buffed.

The new Fake Item Box at first place is the rare Mushroom. :P
 
In Mario Kart 7, bananas slowed you down much more considerably than in the previous games.

My brother's tactic was Fake Boxes was to put them just behind real item boxes.

A 1-Up Mushroom could serve as a good speed boost item as well, whilst a Poison Mushroom slows you down

I used to do that a lot when I played Double Dash!! Not so much anymore.
 
I put Fake Boxes near real Item Boxes, too.

I usually just throw them away, though. :P
 
Here's another new item.

Name: Force Stop
Function: Can only be executed when you are in 6th place or higher. Causes all racers that are/were in 5th place or better at the time of execution to stop completely and disables them from accelerating again until they are in 8th place or higher.
 
^That's broken as ---- unless that was your intention

Is this a joke? That is incredibly overpowered.
