The CUT Items of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

This was very helpful

[@Novum228]

I’m actually surprised that the Fake Item Box isn’t in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I always loved placing those things in the air

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

But after 64 they had gravity applied...

[@Lo-Sir]

I remember placing them inside real item boxes

[@WritingCountingOriginal]

But that item is useless. Much like the coin, it doesn’t defend you, it’s even worse than the coin because at least the coin gives you more speed. The fake item box wouldn’t fool anyone. Who would hit a fake item box thinking it’s real? Unless it’s completely covering a real box, which it’s very hard to place there.

[@SmashSSL]

@@WritingCountingOriginal The banana also doesn't fool anyone, should it get cut from the game? The point of obstacles is literally just being obstacles. Blocking parts of the road, that's it, and the fake box does that better than the banana since it's bigger and has longer hitstun (which even stops all momentum, unlike the banana) It's obviously not the best item in the game or anything but the point of first place items is not to be the strongest. I for one would appreciate seeing some more variety in what pops up in first place Also it's not difficult at all to just drop the fake box right after a real one

[@WritingCountingOriginal]

@@SmashSSL What i'm saying is there are better items they could add than the fake item box. We don't need more items that will act only as obstacles. They could add the Yoshi's egg item and that would do a better job putting more obstacles on the track after it breaks.

[@robertthechannel1799]

Honestly, if the Thunder Cloud were to ever return, I want it to be a battle mode exclusive item. It would’ve worked WAY better in Battle Mode than in ACTUAL races.

[@NixityNullt]

It would also make a great new game mode, sort of like the opposite of the shine thief battle mode where if someone has the cloud for more than a certain amount of time they get eliminated and it keeps going until there's only one person left with the time getting shorter each round.

[@J4C0B_F1RY]

I like that idea, imagine a hot potato battle mode with a thunder cloud on a small battle course like cookie land

[@JaidenVanGulik]

I don't think so, it works in every style of gameplay.

[@bonedude666]

​@@NixityNulltYooooo, that would be a cool new mode.

[@thebananaspeedruns9275]

@@NixityNullt that is literally just a game of Hot Potato

[@Fairgame7707]

The FIB was REALLY underrated in Wii. It was easily the best trap item because of its massive hit box and the way it destroyed all momentum. Combine that with the occasional blind corner or risky shortcut and you’ve got an amazing way to break away from the pack

[@connor9568]

It wasn’t underrated. It was just good.

[@dustymcwari4468]

That’s why I miss them, they were very fun, and much better than nothing *stares at the Coins

[@iexist1300]

Also the fact that they can't block red shells adds some more tension to first place and balances it further. Imo they shouldn't have changed the first place items after wii. (Or if there was a game that did that before)

[@Zoso55]

For some reason I read that as FBI

[@NerdyChocolateLabradoodle]

Yeah, while I did like it as a more offensive, less defensive alternative to the banana peel, the fact that it was dark red in Wii completely defeats it's intended purpose. At least in Double Dash, it was smaller, a lighter shade of red, and disguised it's colors from a distance a little better, so it was a _little_ harder to tell apart from a real one in that game.

[@deadmeme739]

It's also worth mentioning that some items that did returned in Tour got changes. Mega Mushroom- now gives you one hit point instead of unlimited Super Leaf- Let's you hover for a short while and collects coins

[@cjlite0210]

Does the Super Leaf still let you swing the tail around?

[@jaredarenas7542]

@@cjlite0210 The Super Leaf's tail swings automatically. It spins while you hover, and hits anyone who's caught in the commotion

[@cjlite0210]

@@jaredarenas7542 oh nice! I really hope it gets into MK8DX, it was my favorite item from Mario Kart 7 because of the motif alone!

[@MKing2024]

also the hearts dont steal an item anymore and you only get one in tour

[@epicsause21]

Also, Bowser shell- Travels along the path of the track Big Banana- Splits into 3 when hit (though that might be in double dash) Fire flower- Splits into 3 fireballs in 1 shot (similar to fireball in double dash or the ice flower... also frenzy mode is closer to mk8) Heart- Summons 1 heart instead of 2

[@mr.mister3960]

I think the Dash Ring would be a really funny addition if they didn't make it have set locations. The fact that other players can use it and it spawns in front of you can make them into obstacles if used right, like you can make other players crash straight into walls or off ledges.

[@tanistv1124]

One thing he didn’t mention about the giant banana is that once you get hit by it, it turns into 3 regular bananas

[@theoverseer393]

In that case, I might not mind this addition

[@ShadowEclipse777]

Also the Bowser Shell is able to damage multiple targets before breaking

[@ellieripps2614]

ya he shoed that in the vid

[@-Hamza]

If the lightning cloud was brought back and could be detonated whenever you want instead of as soon as you get it, I think it would be a pretty cool item. It would be like a game of hot potato but there’s a reason to hold on to the potato for a bit. It'd be fun to see someone use the cloud for a while, then pass it on to someone else while just before it blows up.

[@rhetti6368]

yea i think this item gets too much hate. its personally one of my favorites

[@Skeleton_With_VR]

i think it should be a gamemode or something

[@soupmiser725]

I prefer the way competitive modders changed them to give you mega mushroom ability instead of shrinking you, so rather than you trying to drive into other players, you have to avoid other players trying to take your powerup

[@S1lentG5nja]

The player who obtains it should definitely be able to decide when to activate it. They should get a timer when activated, like piranha plant or fire flower, so they can plan the right time to pass it on.

[@Nokyyyyy]

I totally agree It's also very cute

[@Liggliluff]

I feel like the problem with Mario Kart is that there's too many offensive items that doesn't make you get further ahead, but instead brakes the pack so you can catch up to them. This results in the leader being more safe from everyone, while everyone are slowing down eachother. So Mario Kart should preferably add more items that makes you get ahead more. Giant mushroom, which is an offensive item, but it gives you a speed boost. The hearts, which is a defensive item. Then I think I once suggested a launch star. You activate it, and you stop fully, you aim, then you fly forward hitting people and item out of the way. You can't control the speed boost, so use it in a good spot. It's also offensive, but still gives you a speed boost. Have it be an item for 8+ and have it give you a massive boost.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

This is it entirely, and is even partially why Blue Shells fail as they punish the user, person hit, and rewards the person in 2nd all while everyone around the user gets offensive or speed items. You should bring people up to 1st, not bring 1st down. All bringing people does is make everyone suffer but if you bring everyone up and feel like you're going fast it feels like you have a chance and are catching up. It creates the speed and excitement of racing.

[@spiritsub.1668]

The biggest problem is that Items often dont matter, bc like you are in 10th place with a star and 3 shrooms and like 5 other players have the same...

[@FunAnimator]

The Fake Item Box is my favorite Mario Kart item and I _really_ hope it is brought back. I actually think it could be reworked to be more useful. Instead of acting like a simple banana, when a player drives into it, it will act like a Lightning, shrinking the player for a while. This way it will not just be a worse Banana Peel and it'd have a much more interesting function

[@Sully_2345]

That’s a pretty good buff to the Fake Item Box (or a FIB for short). One more change I’d like to see for the FIB is to have it look somewhat similar to regular item boxes, but with a couple differences. Instead of not being being red like in Double Dash and Wii, have it look like an actual item box with an upside down question mark like in 64, and have it not spin like in DS.

[@FunAnimator]

@@Sully_2345 Yeah that'd definitely make it far more useful. Though I am a big fan of the red look lol

[@pvzmariosonica8fan]

Mankalor actually has a decent way to bring the Fake Item Box back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZjJipKke7eEi6c

[@djr.bklyn.ny.]

Kinda like mini mushroom from smk

[@oxcaxx]

FIB is not a worse banana, it would actually be insanely useful in MK8D. The item balance currently doesn’t allow for much trapping, in 99% of the cases it is better to keep a banana behind you instead of placing it down. A FIB forces you to place it down somewhere, encouraging offence over defence. In the current item balance, FIBs as they were in MKWii would be amazing.

[@Yoshi-vq3og]

I just wanted to tell you two small things you missed: the *massive* banana in double dash when broken, releases small bananas. And the pow block only affects players in front of you (and also, what if you could just activate the cloud yourself? Then I'd imagine it could be really cool, since you get to choose)

[@micahheyward5342]

Unpopular Opinion: Thunder Cloud was one of the coolest and most interesting items in MK. The second you get it, the adrenaline that gets pumped through you is amazing. That heart racing feeling as you rush to slam your kart into another person to give them the same rush you had. It's the perfect chaos item and I have no idea why people hate it so much

[@Aperson84782]

[@Darkbulborb]

I think the Giant Banana from DK and DK also drops 3 smaller bananas when you get hit by it right? It also doesn't get destroyed by shells. The main difference between a Bullet Bill and Chain-Chomp is indeed the bullet bill makes you invulnerable. But the chain chomp goes down the track after the chain breaks, potentially hitting more enemies ahead of you. And also, the fancy music, dang.

[@Andrew-jk1mi]

I think if the tanooki leaf it should be a battle mode exclusive

[@shyguytimmy]

OK, so a few things u either forgot to mention or were mistakes: Tanooki Leaf: In Mario kart tour, it acts like the feather letting u hover and to my knowledge has no impact on other racers. The only real use in 8 would be to attract coins. Obviously this would be the version they use so not likely. Mega Mushroom: In Tour, it acts like a star but with no off road invincibility and it only let's u tank 1 hit before u shrink back to normal size. Idk how this would change ur opinion but just thought I should mention it. Also doesn't let u shrink people, instead doing the knockback that a shell would Heart: In Tour, it doesn't let u steal the item once u hit. Don't know how this would change ur opinion on whether its coming or not but I think it heavily reduces its chances. Bowser Shell: In Tour, u are able to hold it behind u and if anything hits the bowser shell whilst it's behind u, it shrinks. U didn't, mention it so thought i should put it here. Giant Banana: When u run into it, it splits into 3 smaller bananas. U didn't mention it so I thought I should put it here. Bubble: It actually acts more like a star with u being immune to offroad however u are immune to one hit. U can steer the kart still but can't drift and pop the bubble at anytime by tapping the screen in tour (so mashing the item button in 8) to end the item early. I think this description shows off more important and unique traits about it which weren't in the video. Ice Flower: In Mario Kart Tour, the frenzy version of the fire balls acts like mk8's fire flower. This is the same for the ice flower so it might act like this in 8. Overall, rlly enjoyed the video but also hope this comment helps clear up the mistakes/stuff not mentioned for some reason 😊

[@emood2217]

i honestly have always thought the pow block was underrated. its main purpose in online play isnt necessarily to screw people over, because the dodging mechanic is pretty well known, but the fact that it gets rid of the players items is pretty powerful, all things considered. its a far more strategic item than people give it credit for

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

Except it fails at it because the person who got it lost their item, no mushroom to catch up or lightning to catch up. Instead people just lose their items and nothing changes. Realistically what can you do with it unless you have a 2nd player you're talking with to exploit it?

[@greninjamariokartpokemonfan]

​@@Buglin_Burger7878Not to mention it can be avoided if you are airborne. Just look at how often you're airborne in Wii.

[@ShimmeringVapidCoal]

Mario Kart needs a box item that traps racers. Also the quality of your videos is slowly getting better, great job!

[@squidkid419]

The thing that makes the bubble so good is the fact that you can steer and you can turn sharper than when normally driving, and that’s what makes it so good, you can go over any off road and it lasts quite a while if you don’t get hit, so you can take a lot of shortcuts

[@TaleOfTheToaster]

Ice Flower definitely feels like the most essential. Call it the Penguin Suit if you want to be “new”

Hey bro the vid was amazing. Thank you for covering items!

[@BoraBox7]

i think the "negative" items you mentioned from the wii like thundercloud and pow, (besides pow because i never had any issues with it to dislike it nor like it) the thindercloud had a certain fun to it. and i would love to see it again, even only if in minigame modes. people say they want mario kart to get harder yet completely disregard those things that do. yes its annoying, but its literally supposed to be. thats the fun, passing it over to other people, maybe they hit you again and its a hot potato kind of thing. things to actually make the game more interesting rather than it being the easiest thing to get 1st once you know a track.

[@DraftyDaftyHubertOHare]

MK8DX just keeps solidifying itself as the best Mario Kart game more and more

[@greninjamariokartpokemonfan]

Of the three options you ssuggested, only the Super Leaf should return. The Fake Item Box doesn't fool anyone and is a worse Banana, and the Thunder Cloud is the worst item ever, as it actively harms the user.

[@JesseHOH]

Am I the only one who thinks they’ll bring back some new Kart parts with Birdo? Idk just a gut feeling.

[@pokemnfan1]

The Dash Ring might be placing its rings on the invisible Bullet Bill rail track - something already built into every race track.

[@lillyy256]

I like the obnoxiously obvious fake item box because it gives 1st place more to think about than "I got a coin i'm fucked" you can still use them as obstacles, and important defend against second place if they're close behind they don't defend against other items because they are meant to force first place into a more aggressive play style

The POW Block should've been what the Super Horn is today, a blue shell counter. It would've been so much better if it sent out 3 shockwaves around the player, destroying anything it touches.

Agreed. But instead, the POW Block is a watered down Lightning that shows up way too often and only affects grounded racers.

[@stevesamuals2651]

If they wanted to bring back the chain chomp and make it different from the bullet bill and pirahna plant, they could have it so that you become tethered to the nearest opponent, with the chain tripping up karts that attempt to pass through it

One odd way that i saw the thundercloud be made better is that if kept all the way or say "snagged" from another racer at the last moment it makes the racer giant.

So if you keep it, you get giant, but if you steal it, you get giant ...?

[@rsj2877]

@@Liggliluff ok, perhaps more like if you keep yours all the way and no one steals it, you get giant and that if its snatched into you by another player then it shrinks you, or perhaps whichever it does is somewhat Random.

[@maxhay9098]

I'd love if they decreased the size of the chomp a bit, made it zig and zag across the track as it lunges forward, and had a sort of "drift to try to stay in some control while at the mercy of this unleashed beast" mechanic where the better you handle, the more speed the chomp can achieve because you're less dead weight. Maybe move Bill to the Rear items and buff it a little and put Chomp in the Mid-pack set with these changes. The less predictable movements would shake things up while the drift mechanic both gives the user something to do (more like Boring Bill) and, balanced right, could be a great item for a skilled player to break out of the middles and close in on second or first place. Or it could be set up as an item that's a gamble to keep in the pocket for that grab at first during the final stretch, hoping you get long bounds forward and not piddly little hops. It just seems like it'd be fun to have an item that hybridizes Bullet Bill and Piranha Plant.

[@Michelle_Klinge]

- My top 6 (in no particular order) 1: Mega mushroom, personally my favorite item from Wii because the song it plays when someone uses it is just to daunting! And its slightly less op as a Star but just as fun to use if not more! 2: Mega Banana, I think it would be fun if you could only throw it infront of yourself and you cant hold it behind you. Because first of all the flying animation looks pretty cool and the player that uses it has to be strategic to not throw it infront of themselves. 3: Mini mushrooms, I would see you getting two of them and having them spin around yourself like the triple items, they wont block incoming projectiles but you can bump into other player to make them smaller for a little while. And you can also just throw/drop them. And they obviously would be blue and small. 4: Pow Block, yes I hate this item but it is much more possible to dodge it. The only thing I would change is making it more rare, making the horn block able to basically block it as well, and making the shockwave and spin less bad. 5: Fake item box, if they would make the fake item box return they need to make it the same color and texture as an normal item box but just removing the question mark or rotating it upside down. (So just basically not the Wii version) 6: Ice flower: You perfectly described how i think about the Ice flower for Mario kart 8, its a very unique item with a unique effect! - Honorable mentions The coin box: basically just a very rare version of a coin and only obtainable by someone in first place. The barrel types: Like you said in the video they just cause great crazy hectic situations for the player that uses it and the players around them!

[@4per8]

While you can dodge a pow by hopping it's frame perfect. For some reason dodging the pow is done by shaking the controller up rather than hopping

[@cosmicspacething3474]

I think the fake item cube should be revamped so that if you break a real one and then immediately use the fake one the real one gets replaced for a few seconds. The first cube hit changes.

[@MrPromethium0157]

The dash rings would be great in team matches actually (only boosts teammates)

[@CyberCat3O]

I personally really hope the thundercloud comes back. Its such an interesting concept that added an element of panic which really is missing from mk8dx. Also they wouldnt have to make spawn positions on each track for the star ring. Im pretty sure how it works in tour is it travels along the item path (the same one reds and blues use), and spawns a star ring at its position every half a second or so. This could easily be implemented in mk8dx without any changes to the tracks.

[@veselinborisov369]

I have never played Mario Kart Wii so I have no experience with the thundercloud item, but would the item be good if the player could decide when to use it after acquiring it? One could either pass it someone close to them or one could utilize its speed boost and try to get rid of it at the last possible moment, thus taking a big risk.

[@sentris5293]

Fun fact: every Mario Kart game has either the fake item box, or SNES rainbow road, but never both

[@TheUltimateToad]

My theory on fake item boxes going missing is that it was an accessibility reason. If you have colourblindness you can struggle to distinguish the difference. The FIB is a cool item, stopping you dead rather than bananas which just slow you.

[@ImaginatorVT]

Seeing the plush Bowser video play in the background, of almost every video of yours, is really fun XD.

[@HarrisonWeber21]

The thunder cloud is the best item bro what. The frantic rush to pass it to another player is so cool and adds a whole other layer to the race.

[@haz2734]

Feather would be useful for gap jump in mushroom gorge on lower cc’s

[@terrortimemusic5672]

The Heart and the Super Leaf works different in Tour. The heart no longer picks up the item that hits you and the Super Leaf spawns a tanooki tail that spins around you and makes you float a bit.

[@Alpha-oo8]

Some of the items that returned to tour actually changed how they operated. The tail, for example, acts as a tornado that spins around your kart for a few seconds, the fire flower acts like the double dash version, the heart only protects you and doesn’t give you the item that hit you, etc

I feel like that the pow block is the balanced version of lightning and it should be brought back because lightning is EVERYWHERE. I see lightning being used like 4-5 times per race

[@greninjamariokartpokemonfan]

They should make it so that only one player can have a Lightning at a time, and give it a cooldown timer both for the first 30 seconds of the race and 30 seconds between uses. They did this in Wii, so I don't know why they can't do this in 8 Deluxe.

[@estellegrignon]

With the new mechanic that allows you to fine-tune the items you want, I really, really hope the mega mushroom returns for a mega mushroom only chaotic, giant race

[@greninjamariokartpokemonfan]

If the Mega Mushroom does return, I would like to see the Tour version, but upgraded to protect the player from three items before it returns them to normal. The Wii version is horrible to deal with, especially when getting hit by it. This leads me to reworking a few items. Chain Chomp: This item is redundant, as the Bullet Bill outshines it in every way. This item will get a completely different function: when thrown, it travels the track and knocks over racers, disappearing after traveling a certain distance. Fake Item Box: This item is just a worse Banana, and it fails its purpose of tricking the player into thinking it is the real deal. To rework this item, I would have it turn one of the Item Boxes into a fake, looking like a real one but having an upside down question mark, and it will be a normal question mark from a distance and turn upside down upon approaching. This will make it a more unique trap item while being defenseless. Also, once a Fake Item Box converts an Item Box, another one can't be in play until the infected Item Box is hit or returns to normal. POW Block: This item is just a nuisance. It works too similar to Lightning, and it appears way too much in races. I would reduce how often it appears in races, it has three uses to flip over all racers within its radius and make them drop their items unless they're airborne, and it will destroy any item lying on the ground. Each use will increase the size of the radius, and players must get as far away from the radius as possible or be airborne to avoid the effect. Thunder Cloud: Easily the worst item in the entire series. It hurts the player who has it after ten seconds without passing it off to someone else, it activates automatically, and can be gotten as low as 7th. Reworking this item is easy: it works like in Mario Kart Arcade GP, where you can throw it at another racer, causing it to strike that player with Lightning after five seconds. This, in turn, will help the user without hurting them in the process.

[@biondigiacomo7176]

I do not agree at all for the Mega Mushroom. If It returns It should be like the Wii version, and if it returns like the Tour version It should turn into the Super Mushroom or the Big Mushroom, because in Tour it's not the Mega Mushroom

[@greninjamariokartpokemonfan]

​​@@biondigiacomo7176he Mega Mushroom is way too similar to the Star in terms of function, and that makes it rather redundant. This is also one of the reasons the POW Block shouldn't return: it works way too similarly to the Lightning.

@@greninjamariokartpokemonfan i get It and i agree, what i'm saying Is that It should return as another Power up. The Tour version Is closer to a Super Mushroom or a Big Mushroom from Super Mario Maker than a Mega Mushroom.

The other two Mushroom Power ups i mentioned only let you take a hit before reverting back to the Small form, just like Tour's Mega Mushroom. That's what i mean

One big caveat though is that for whatever reason: its icon on the touch screen map is red much like its prior appearance in double dash and later wii.

Collecting coins only increases your speed. What if collecting all ten would upgrade your items? This would add some challenges to getting the large bomb, large banana, or large shell.

[@GaminGuy_]

the idea ive had was to bring back the lightning cloud *inside* of the fake item box, alongside some other self-detrimental items that you may get from it

[@dillongeorge5866]

The best part about the Banana Bunch is that it sounds like bowling pins falling over when someone runs into it 😂

[@Reeboi11]

fun fact: the heart in double dash can even give the user character specific items too

[@theoverseer393]

My top 3: 1️⃣: Fake Item Block 2️⃣: Bowser Shell 3️⃣: Tanuki tail (alternatively, Twin-Hearts)

2:26 fire ball moves when you get close

[@epicsause21]

As someone who plays tour, you got most things correct and it's pretty accurate. The only thing you got wrong I think was that bob-ombs cannot harm the player who "owns" them under most circumstances, but that's mostly just a tour thing and probably wouldn't be added in mk8dx if it were added

[@tripplordofinconvenience9953]

I’d prefer the POW coming back over the tail, keeps you on your toes and it can be nullified if you press a certain button at the last second.

[@Magicwaterz]

While the Thundercloud is a bad item for races, it can be a fun item if it was in a battle mode. No, not as a random item you get, it is the main focus. It would be a Hot Potato battle mode. The catch for the item selection is the one having the Thundercloud will only get items that slow down players so that they could pass them, Bob-ombs, Shells, Lightning, Super Horns, and Boos. While the others only have Bananas, and Mushrooms to avoid the bearer.

5:28 I bet in the future every single video that contains the word bowser will have this clip

[@RTheStoryteller7]

the fact that MK8's Item Box have a clear colors and easier to fool people made it even dumber that they didn't add the Fake Item box

[@marshad_ow802]

Since in MK8 DLX you can queue up to 2 items to use it’d be cool if they made it so that if you are Giant because of the Mega-shroom your shells would become Bowser Shells, your Bananas would become a Big-nana and your Bob-ombs would become the King Bob-omb just for the duration of the Mega-shroom

[@James_the_Flames]

Not “Pigstep” as background music mid video💀. Legit slaps though

[@nematodes23]

I would like to mention that the Super Leaf in Tour was actually updated where now it creates a wave around you and hits anyone in its radius. It’s like the Super Horn, but worse, and even still I would like to see it come back to 8DX

[@baconboi7796]

I think the modded version of the cloud is great. Along with the speed boost when it runs out it actually gives you a mega mushroom.

[@iseeyou992]

I've had Mkw and I know slot about it! If big Mario gets hit by a lighting he doesn't shrink to rlly small he shrinks to normal, same with cloud

[@InklingGamer7626]

Here's how to fix the tc. Make it a 50/50 Item with 50% getting shrinked, and 50% it acts like a mega mushroom. That would be cool

[@nat3572]

Another item from tour that wasn’t mentioned is the boomerang. When used, it circles around your kart a couple times. It starts close and then moves outward. Any coins it hits will be given to you and I believe it can block shells or destroy bananas, but I’m not 100% sure on that. I don’t see it coming to Mario Kart 8, but it could be pretty cool if it did!

[@Houtblokje]

The boomerang is already in mario kart 8?

[@nat3572]

@@Houtblokje omg you’re right haha. i completely forgot about it! so sorry 😅

[@noley8699]

I’m not kidding the cool bowser dance literally jump scared me

[@zooms7889]

5:37 as someone who plays tour a lot, i really really hope it does not come back the way it works in that game.

[@Paragon13]

What with the custom items option, some of the less liked items like the leaf could potentially come back seeing as how you could simply disable them.

[@thellamadj283]

Thundecloud is SO UNDERRATED. That thing brings the most chaos out of all items

[@Yasashiki]

Oh the 5 bananas! I remember when I played with my friends or my family and was first I always put all banana from the left to the right of the road so that the one behind was forced to take at least one, the best place I remeber being choco moutain or a name close to that... Yeah, I was a shrewd kid.

[@RyanNyx]

Biggest issue with the POW block in mk8deluxe is how the zero gravity sections, where you aren't touching the ground at all, so it wouldnt work. Maybe it could return for the maps with little to no zeeo gravity?

[@cosmicspacething3474]

The dash Ring actually sounds really cool
