Ranking Every Mario Kart Item!
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 06. 2024
- 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!

The mega mushroom disrespect is criminal
The mega mushroom is just a slightly less powerful star and the star was on the top of the list so i don't know why the mega mushroom was so low.
So is anyone who likes the thundercloud.
The min a mushroom
and so is the praise for the lighting cloud
What about feather
Boo is good at ballancing out bullet bills, keeping players from holding it for too long. Also, it defends against shells and lightning.
Yup
That almost never happens in practice though, the Boo only pulls items from racers ahead of them, and Bullet Bills are usually pulled in the bottom spots/far away from 1st, while Boos are usually pulled in the 2nd to mid spots. Most of the time when you lose a Bullet Bill it's because you were hit by Lightning, which leads to you losing all items.
Boos are useful for dodging items like lightning, and trying to steal one of the frontrunners' items to leave them open.
The boo is great with a Score board too see what items you can. Steal
Plus, it's often overlooked the the item you get from a boo is taken from another player. So those three mushrooms you got which rocketed you from 8th to 3rd would have rocketed someone else from 7th to 1st, leaving you in the dust. Couple this with a shock dodge, and you have a S tier item on your hands. This list definitely didn't give the boo enough credit!
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.
God...i dont remember disagree so much with a ranking like this.
Btw nice video!
Blue shell is good for getting revenge but the front runners hate it
Ya I agree
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.
Even lightning
Also I think lightning is too low it should be at minimal top 3 and how is golden mushroom even in the top 10😂
@@Connorsea In my opinion, golden mushroom being in Top Ten is fine, as you can boost for a very long time, but I'd put it in the 8th to 10th spot.
@@OmegaDrive987 OK I'll give you that, the only problem with it is that in MK8DLX I has become one of the worst items because you can not access your 2nd item slot, definitely the biggest factor that puts it down
There is no Boo in 64
It should be mentioned that the Piranha Plant will actually eat Bloopers.
Mmmm... *Calimari*
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
Exactly, Bro put the bubble above the mega mushroom
Funny how in the video he says how the bubble pulls you QUICKLY forward, but it’s actually ridiculously slow
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...
Not to mention that the Megabanana isn’t just your average amped up banana: it blocks small items, it clogs narrow roads, it inflicts a larger slip-up time. How is it lower than the Bowser shell? It was THE defensive item in Double Dash.
did you forget that the boo can dodge shocks?
yes, yes i did 😅
@@SwitchStopas well as it being introduced in DS, rather than 8 deluxe?
@@ryomahoshi1607 it was actually introduced in mk64
@@Tayteyboi66 It was first seen in Super Mario Kart, but in that game, you can only get it in 2 player mode.
This guy forgot ALOT of things, like both lucky 7 and crazy 8 throw whatever item is in front of you, this guy throws the item out the window and calls it “gimmicky”
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
The POW item can hit anyone on the track, as long as they are a place in front of you
Wow, loved the ranking/rating system here. Nice work!

“Mid-a-mushroom.” *cocks gun* nobody disrespects my big boy
The video was great! Also that song at 5:00 was pretty insane...
in the rain
10:54 You’re an OBJECT SHOW FAN?!?!?! ✋
Even though the fake item box is not very useful, it just feels so right in mk wii
Yep the fake item box isn’t very useful, but I fell in love with the item as a kid on Mario kart ds to line up the real ones with the fake ones and watch the other players get hit by it
@@HoneyBunny0912 yeah they need to make them look identical to the regular ones
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
The coin is useful as a balancing item in 8DX, lowering the chance of 1st place from getting two defensive items with the double item slots. In the Wii You version it is pretty useless.
I love that every time a Bo-Bomb varient appeared, you were also like "Basically the same thing I said about the Bo-Bomb, but it's ____________. SICK"
Also: I feel 8 Deluxe is Mario Kart 9.
Watched this on the way to work and it made my day better
The spiny shell dodge with a single mushroom hits different tho.
10:53 CHEESY FROM II OMG AAAAAH
I'm sorry but I disagree eith this list for the most part
46: Thundercloud (Hurts you)
45: Coin (Does nothing)
44: Feathers (Sucks in 3D)
43: POW Block (Can be useful)
42: Super Bell (BORING!!!)
41: Coin Box (No one likes coins)
40: Bubble (Garbage)
39: Super Leaf (Needs close contact)
38: Blooper (Just annoying)
37: Bob-Omb (I hate blowing up myself)
36: Double Bob-Omb (2 of them)
35: Banana (Easy to avoid)
34: Dash Ring (Can be used by others)
33: Heart (A less cool shield)
32: Capsule (Sorta forgettable)
31: Fake Item Box (Looks to different)
30: Banana Bunch (3 Bananas)
29: Banana Barrel (Banana but cooler)
28: Giga Bob-Omb (The big one)
27: Bob-Omb Canon (I love canons!)
26: Hammer (Epic hammer)
25: Boo (Item with more items)
24: Yoshi Shell (Also benefits others)
23: Green Shell (Nerfed recently)
22: Boomerang Flower (Just ok)
21: Mega Mushroom (I agree with you)
20: Giant Banana (One based banana)
19: Fire Flower (Very handy item)
18: Ice Flower (Fire Flower but better)
17: Triple Green Shell (3 of the bad boys)
16: Mushroom (Classic speed boost)
15: Piranha Plant (A hybrid item)
14: Mushroom Canon (A canon with mushrooms)
13: Triple Mushrooms (3 speed boosts)
12: Red Shell (Perfect accuracy)
11: Blue Shell (We hate these lol)
10: Triple Red Shell (The murder weapon)
9: Lucky 7 (7 items)
8: Chain Chomps (Chaotic to use!)
7: Gold Mushroom (Turns you into the Flash)
6: Bullet Bill (Strong, big boi)
5: Lightning Bolt (Way op)
4: Super 8 (8 items)
3: Star (What an invincible bop!)
2: Super Horn (Does the impossible)
1: Bowser Shell (Soooooo sick!)
Coins give you a slight speed boost if you have been playing mario kart for a year
Coins give u a slight speed boost (depending on the amount of coins it will stay at the speed boost of how many coins u have)
Nothing about the banana bunch from 64? It's 5 bananas in a trail behind you, meaning you have protection from 5 items in a row. It's REALLY good, and is one of the best defensive items in the franchise.
I am 99 percent sure the hammer is a reference to hammer bros
I’ll just say that he’s criminally underselling the Giant Banana. If you put it on narrow roads, it clogs up that thing to the point no one without a star goes through without slipping hard and it also serves to fend off most of the grounded items. Also Thundercloud deserves last place.
Thundercloud is so fun to get, going off road and rushing people in order to give them the cloud right before it expires… Sure you might be shrunk if you wait too long but realistically you’d have to be pretty bad to not hit anyone and get shrunk because of the pretty generous timer that this thing gives you.
6:24 IS THAT A BREAKING BAD REFERENCE
Boo should be higher, you make yourself invincible against almost anything, including the blue shell and at the same time you can get an item and it can be a fun little gamble of what item you’re going to get. The boo has helped me dodge two blue shells in one race in some occasions.
I will not take a Bob-omb ranking any lower than #1.
Good and super fun to use.
@@lowrngy well
10:53 that cheesey from ii
Errrm akhtaully you forgot the arcade games🤓🤓🤓
3:03 ah yes
Barerels
I came here expecting to be outraged by a ranking list I strongly disagree with and wasn't disappointed. 10/10
I love how the blue shell is on both sides of the thumbnail lol
Lets pay our respect to the OG items....star, lightning, mushroom, red shell, green shell, banana, feather, ghost, and coins
Good video
2:15 If it's the exact same how will you know the difference
That's the point...
@@NFLArmy69But I already know the tryhards are going to be ragging after that
Bullet Bill is goated, nuff said
I love the feather!
10:52 Switch Stop watches Inanimate Insanity
The Lightning’s gotta be my most despised item in the entire series. Unless everyone else is crammed closely together, then it’s borderline worthless and it’s the definition of anti-fun when you’re on the receiving end; driving at a snail’s pace for what feels like 30 seconds instantly kills the momentum of a race.
If it was down to me, I’d just replace with a modified POW Block that instantly drops everyone’s items to the ground, but all will drive on as usual.
How is the crazy 8 all the way back in 18 when it has the star, red shell, and mushroom?
Because no one has ever used it as intended we all just spam the thing to get to the star
you can't really have control of aiming any of the shells, mushroom, etc. so it kinda takes the fun out of those items
I know the problems but it still (in my opinion) is not better than triple green shells at ALL. Not even close lol
10:54
i n a n i m a t e i n s a n i t y
1:45 Umm, the coin box came 40th...? I don't think so! You'll never find another item that can give you more points in Tour!
mk64 x5 banana line was OP, almost no shell can hit you from behind for about a whole lap.
4 childhood fears:
Darkness
Ghosts
Being alone at home
🔵🐢
Bananas are worth it in battle mode. This should be a lot higher for being a classic. 2:49
Blooper underated
In the more recent games, doesn't the Blooper actually reduce affected players' traction?
Well yeah, but it’s still useless af 💀
Yes, in MK8 it does. I would argue in games without a bottom screen map it is a hindrance sometimes if you can't see the items on the road or trailed by opponents, and then crash into them
strongly disagree. But fun video man 👍🏼
You can also dodge blues with shrooms
boo is the most underrated item
I've won so many races by dodging in a boo, don't know why he put it so low
the fake item box in Mario Kart DS is the regular item box but without the question mark
Coins on tour:
I'm i a joke to you?
to be fair, Blooper is actually useful in Tour
Mario Kart Tour is NOT real, it is simply an illusion made by our minds to trick us into thinking that Mario Kart 10 is next
Okay I’m sorry how the hell is the bullet #11? It’s one of the best items of all time making you invincible and allowing you to surpass so many people.
How do you give stars #1 for blocking lightning when boo can do the same thing and get you another item.
It cause your not MLG enough to do it correctly. 2:44
If you throw the bomb backwards, 1 second before a red shell hits you, the shell won’t have enough time to redirect towards you and will give you enough time to move form the blast zone after the shell detonates the bomb. (Easier with a higher CC)
Bro you UNDERATED the Bullet Bill
You also OVERATED The Red Shell
The tannoki leaf is the most underrated item ever it protects you from bananas red shells and green shells plus it can help you stay in the air longer it’s not the best item in the game but it does what it’s job well people just compare it to op items and call it bad
You got the Pow block wrong, any racer in a placement above the user gets hit and has to perform a jump boost input if they're grounded, not onscreen ones
Coin should definitely be a little higher
"The only exception with the blooper is in tour since it gave you alot of points the behind you are"
You said boo item sucks yet is can help you not get basically demolished from a lightning usage and then gave the other items that give you another item really high yet they can't save you from a lightning usage.
10:53 CHEESY?!?!
What would they add to the crazy 8 for mk9 I hope they let you use a extra mega mushroom with the rest of the crazy 8 items
Cool
Honestly the star doesn’t deserve 1st, maybe 3, but no way in hell 1st.
Again, being good at Mario Kart, I think the star is only a catch up item, but only for speed. The hazards in the tracks aren’t hard to dodge, and you’ll never get this if you’re a always 1st person, and yet even if I get a star I would still dodge hazards just to keep speed, even though you can’t lose it with a star. 11:30
Mine got 38 :(
And it’s the fake item box
Listen I know gold coins in the later Mario kart entries have a purpose but even still I’d much rather get an actual useful item for the coin any day 😂
Good now the arcade games
Tbh I like to call Tour "Mario Kart 8.5"
You guys have no idea how brain damaging it is watching Nathaniel bandy's version of this then seeing this on the recommended bar right after
Also
" S I C K "
Tour items don’t exist for me because I don’t play tour. But their concepts are cool I guess
fake item box is basically a retextured bannana
That can't block shells
Yeah except worse since you can't block items by trailing it. I don't know why people want them back when it fools no one and acts like a banana.
@@MeesterTweesterSimilarly, I don't know why anyone wants the Mega Mushroom back when it's a sorry excuse for a power item and a worse Star. Also, why would anyone want the POW Block or Thunder Cloud back?
he uh... he knows boos also give invincibility, right?
Banana green shell and red shell can protect red shell and green shell
u can control the crazy 7 items (its the one in front of you)
boo is probably top 20 bc u get invcibility so u can shock dodge
SPECTATULAR 9
What are you made every stat 🌟/15
Fun,Power&Happy=⭐️/15
Blue shell would be good for crazy 9
Why would the triple mushrooms beat the golden mushroom? That doesn’t even make sense. 3 mushrooms vs an infinite amount of mushrooms for a limited time? Yeah I’ll take the golden any day of the week over the triple.
AH BOO HOO HOO HOOO
I’m making a mariokart 9 track at school and yes I am a kid so no questions
Boo is rlly strong.
I might have missed it but did he not say anything about the tenuki suit? Idk but imo it’s the worst item in the game. (Mario cart 7)
@@lowrngy ah ok ty
the amount of bad takes is just
how tf is triple mushroom above golden mushroom??? three speed boosts is better than like 80??? how????????
It makes no sense at all to rank the Star higher than the Crazy 8. The Crazy 8 GIVES you a star along with other items. Yeah, you usually just spam the thing but in doing that you get the use out of the star + a mushroom + you throw a green and red shell. How can you rank both the star and red shell individually higher than something that gives you BOTH a star and a red shell? Also, a bullet bill is simply a better version of the Star, it does everything the same except you move so much faster. I get these ranking videos are subjective but it's not subjective to rank items lower when they are objectively better.
the bullet bill does the same as the star but faster
What about the Mario and Luigi fire in mkdd?
10:54 cheesy from ii2
This is one of the worst things ive ever seen, bob ombs DO protect you and coins should be at least a 3 for usefulness
Edit: Bubble is too high, piranha plant is too high, mega mush far too low,Bullet Bill too low,red shell a little high,lightning should be first place or at least top 3,golden mushroom too high its not fun at all and its annoying to pull qnd I think star should be 2nd and shock 1st
