Your Item Predictions For The Next Mario Kart Game

[Greninja The Mario Karter]

What items do you think will be in the next Mario Kart game? Here are my predictions. This next game will be titled "Mario Kart: Nitro Circuit".
Returning Items
Green Shell

Triple Green Shell

Red Shell

Triple Red Shell

Spiny Shell

Super Horn

Bullet Bill

Star

Golden Mushroom

Lightning

Mushroom

Triple Mushroom

Poison Mushroom

Super Leaf

Piranha Plant

Boomerang Flower

Bowser Shell

Giant Banana

Boo

Fire Flower

Banana

Banana Bunch

Bob-omb

Double Bob-omb

Giga Bob-omb

Bob-omb Cannon

Ice Flower

Hammer (in the form of the Hammer Flower)

Super Bell

Coin Box

Non-Returning Items
Coin as an Item (Pointless, since there are Coins everywhere on the track.)

Blooper (Is hardly a hindrance at all, since players can see where they're going.)

Fake Item Box (Basically a Banana that doesn't block items, and is usually easy to spot from the real ones.)

Lucky Seven (It isn't Mario Kart 7 anymore.)

Crazy Eight (It isn't Mario Kart 8 anymore.)

Fireball (Redundant, since we already have the Fire Flower.)

Yoshi Egg (Basically a Red Shell that can help your opponents, since two of the five possible items it gives out are Mushrooms and Stars.)

Heart (Basically a Boo that doesn't provide invincibility, doesn't let you pick up every item, and Lightning will destroy the barrier, leaving you vulnerable once again.)

Chain Chomp (Basically a Bullet Bill that's hard to control, doesn't protect you from anything, and can send you flying off the track.)

Triple Banana (The Banana Bunch is objectively better, since it gives you five Bananas.)

Feather (There are jumps everywhere on the tracks, making it pointless to have the item in races.)

Mega Mushroom (It's a weaker copy of the Star.)

POW Block (It's a copy of the Lightning that makes you lose your items unless you're airborne and appears too frequently.)

Thunder Cloud (Basically the worst item ever, as it harms you more than it helps.)

Bubble (Basically a highly inferior Bullet Bill that breaks in one hit and is very slow.)

Banana Barrel (Makes it annoying to dodge your own Bananas.)

Mushroom Cannon (Can basically help your opponents, since the Mushrooms can land near them.)

Dash Ring (Same as the Mushroom Cannon, but the hitbox for each ring is huge.)

New Items (for Mario Kart Insanity)
Mini Mushroom (shrinks the user, but increases their speed and jump height for a brief period of time.)

Gold Shell (acts like the Red Shell, but locks onto three opponents before breaking.)

Black Shell (acts like the Green Shell, but explodes on contact with a player.)

Triple Black Shell (same as the Black Shell, but you get three of them.)

New Items for Revenge of The Wheelies
Here are new items for the game after Mario Kart Insanity called Revenge of The Wheelies.

Triple Gold Shell (same as the Gold Shell, but you get three of them.)

Super Mega Mushroom (replaces the Mega Mushroom as its upgraded version. Provides invincibility from every item, on top of being able to flatten racers. Can be obtained in mid to low positions, and is extremely rare.)

Red POW Block (replaces the POW Block as its rarer and more tolerable version. Only affects racers within the user's radius instead of affecting everyone ahead of the user. Can be avoided by getting a speed boost on top of being avoidable while airborne, and doesn't make the player lose their items.)

Rain Cloud (Replaces the Thunder Cloud. Can be thrown at another racer and decreases their handling, off-road, and mini-turbo. The player can get rid of it by getting a speed boost.)

Interesting. I also wonder if the purple shell could return.

 

[Ray Trace]

they are not going to put that much items for the next mario kart. usually, new mario kart introduce like, only 4 items or so max. double dash is an exception but it's exactly that: an exception.

You mean that item that was meant to be in Mario Kart DS? That could be a new item, but I don't know how it would function.

I think triple gold shell is a bit to op, and as BLoF (finally figured out what that one means) said, a Mario Kart game only intoduces four new items max, so mini mushroom, gold shell, and the singular and triple black shells should be the new items. More thoughts later.

Oh, and none of the new item ideas are less powerful copies of existing items aside from the Mini Mushroom. I mean, the Black Shell and Gold Shell are more powerful copies of the Green Shell and Red Shell respectively. Mario Kart Wii had this problem with the Mega Mushroom and POW Block, which are a less powerful Star and a less powerful and more frequent Lightning respectively.

Mario Kart 64 introduced seven new items, and Super Mario Kart introduced twelve (three of which are CPU exclusive items). Those are also exceptions. But I see why I should save the Triple Gold Shell for a later Mario Kart game idea, along with a potential replacement for each of the Wii exclusive items (Mega Mushroom's replacement will be the more powerful Super Mega Mushroom, POW Block's replacement will be the weaker and more easily avoidable Red POW Block, and Thunder Cloud's replacement will be the Rain Cloud).
