With a new Mario Kart game coming to the Switch 2, I would like to fix a first place item that hasn't appeared in recent installments after Wii: the Fake Item Box. If I know anything about the Mario Kart community, the majority, myself included, considers the Fake Item Box to be a worse Banana...
The Fake Item Box used to be a series staple alongside the Green Shell and Banana as a 1st place item. However, it has been absent from Mario Kart 7 onward. I will explain why this item no longer appears in newer Mario Kart games, as well as proposing a way it could potentially return.
