So I've put a lot of thought into this item and I've thought about how it can be useful, it's a mix of the Pow Block, Lightning (the Shock), and a bit of it's own flair. New Item: P-Switch When used, every player will slow down, not be able to use their items until the P-switch expires, spin out, loose 3 coins, and all coins will turn into bricks. The P-switch theme would also play, the effect would last 10-15 seconds with it being randomized each time. The P-switch is also unpredictable as to when it will happen, when it does each player will spin out (a similar animation like when you dodge a POW block). The difference between this and Lightning is that everyone goes back to normal speed at the same time and you don't shrink. You also can't gain any coins ,but you can loose coins, when the P-switch happens 3 coins are just taken out of your coin count. As for what places this item would appear in, it would appear in 9th - 12th Place in a regular size race. In addition, only 1 person can have this item at a time.

Will there be a cooldown timer for the P-Switch, both for the first X seconds of a race and X seconds between P-Switches?

I have a couple of new ideas for items Poltergust: Only for the Luigi's mansion characters: Suck up coins around you and from other racers Super Bell: For 3D world Characters (Plessie and Sprixie Princess) Makes you able to climb walls Magical Cap (For Odyssey Characters): Chuck this baby 3 times and if it captures someone you can throw them off

[@candyfiregames693]

Super bell exists already, He said that it won’t be in his concept because it’s just an overpowered Super Horn,

[@icebro5059]

My new idea for an item is the Slowdown Clock. This item will target everyone ahead of the user and will count down from 5. Once the timer reaches 0, the clock will disappear, deprive those racers of their items, spin them thrice and bring them to a complete stop, and slow down time for those racers. The length for which time is slowed down is longer for higher positions than for lower positions (i.e. 11th place will only have time slowed down for 4 seconds, while 1st place will be slowed down for a whopping 24 seconds). If the player presses the trick button just as the timer reaches 0, they will still lose their items, but they will only spin once and retain their momentum, and the time for which they will be slowed down will be halved (i.e. 11th place will only be slowed down for 2 seconds instead of 4, while 1st place will only be slowed down for 12 seconds instead of 24). However, just like the POW Block, the Slowdown Clock will not affect players who are airborne or have an invincibility item. Similar to the Blooper in that its ink can be removed with with speed boost, players who are affected by the Slowdown Clock can reverse its effect prematurely by using a speed boost, a boost item, or invincibility item. This item will be obtainable from 4th to 10th place in a 12 player race, with the best chances of getting one being in 7th place. Only 1 player can use a Slowdown Clock at a time. Much like the POW Block, the Slowdown Clock will not be obtainable for the first 20 seconds of a race, and once a Slowdown Clock is used, another Slowdown Clock will not be obtainable until 20 seconds have elapsed.

[@3upgames2023]

i feel like this "Slowdown Clock" is just "N.Tropy's Clock" from crash team racing but nerfed. but this power up would be a great power up to include in the game. also. here's my idea: The Yellow shell: a yellow recolor of the blue spiny shell. would target all racers in front of the racer who summons this rare power up. Requirements to get this power up: same requirements for the Blue shell but you would have a 10% chance of getting a yellow shell power up. the other 90% would give you a blue shell.

[@brodyyates4744]

I like how the 9 you use is from mario party 9

[@captndingpot3981]

I think Cappy would make for a cool item. Kind of like the boomerang, you can throw (but only forward) up to 3 times and if you hit someone, you capture them and can control them for about 5 seconds and you will pop out infront of them. Make sure to use their items before they fire for fire back at you after.

[@atomicfox4390]

Or cappy could allow you to switch positions

[@captndingpot3981]

@@atomicfox4390 it would probably do that anyway if you pop out in front of them after a few seconds after capture.

[@atomicfox4390]

@@captndingpot3981 yeah true

[@hollowspike2337]

Most importantly: *DO NOT ADD THE SHITTY COIN BACK*

[@potato44_]

New items: *Lucky Bell* This item would turn you into a lucky cat and you will be given a speed boost, you will also be given the ability to ground pound which could speed you up and also attack players. *Bruiser* You will unleash a Bruiser which would charge at any player you aim at. *Peepa* This is similar to the boo item but instead of stealing items from a random player, you can steal an item box which would make the box disappeared for a moment.

[@atomicfox4390]

I'd like to see the mini mushroom from new super mario bros ds it would make you small and your cart could hop high enough to jump over obsticals shells, banana peels and would allow you go faster

[@candyfiregames693]

Coin box and bomb cannon would probably also work

[@YouTubeHugh]

Feather in normal mode, just like in Super Mario Kart!

[@GG_Zichi]

I have watched the Mario Kart Prediction Series and u seem to have sound reasoning for everything. I wanted to get rid of 4 items from Mario Kart 8 and u removed 3/4 of them, which is impressive considering the amount of items possible. Triple Bob-Ombs might be broken tho depending on the impact (if it's like Wii, ow boi, some people will be salty after getting triple bombed on a tight piece of track). Might be fun to do your own ranking/Tier list videos of tracks. People love to check those out and see if their favorite tracks are on top.

[@greninjamariokartpokemonfan]

The Fake Item Box is basically a Banana but worse, hence why it has been left behind as of Mario Kart 7. Similarly, the Mega Mushroom is too similar to the Star, hence why it's only in Mario Kart Wii.

[@WumbleWasp]

Ehh I disagree. At least with the games before Wii, the fake item box wasn’t instantly obvious that it was a fake item box so you could use it to trick people up if they weren’t paying attention. It wasn’t just a worse banana. And I feel like the reason thy ditched the mega mushroom was the limitations of the 3DS and the anti gravity of 8, not because it was too similar to the star.

[@greninjamariokartpokemonfan]

@@WumbleWasp In Mario Kart 64, Fake Item Boxes could be used to block incoming items, but it could only be thrown backward due to it being able to float in midair. However, as of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, it doesn't provide protection against incoming items. Also, Mario Kart 64 has similar looking boxes to the regular ones, but Double Dash's are completely different in color. DS has them lack a question mark entirely and not rotate, and Wii is similar to Double Dash except that game makes them larger than the real deal.

[@greninjamariokartpokemonfan]

@@WumbleWasp I also hope the POW Block and Thunder Cloud don't leave their status of having their only appearance be in Mario Kart Wii. For the POW Block, it's a less powerful Lightning that requires you to time when to shake the controller to avoid losing speed, which is annoying considering how frequently it goes off, and even if you time everything correctly, you'll lose your current items. As for the Thunder Cloud, you go fast when you have it, but you will shrink if you don't pass the cloud to someone else. There's a reason neither item has returned for future installments.

[@WumbleWasp]

DarkHammerBro1616 yeah I actually agree that the item box mostly sucked. It was good in 64 and maybe DS. I just think it’s an iconic item with an interesting dynamic that should be revisited and improved upon. It doesn’t necessarily have to be redundant to the bananas.

[@WumbleWasp]

DarkHammerBro1616 they probably removed those items from Wii because they’re too skill based and Nintendo hates skill in Mario kart lol

[@Roston11]

I really hope they bring back the Fake Item Box, especially over the Coin. Make the Boomerang work like it does it Tour too.

[@xXLoneRatXx]

what about marios cap that switch place with the one before or after u .. setting traps like riding from a cliff an trow it backwards or riding towards a banana an hit the one before u (like teleport sides)

[@andrew-coronel-9016]

Laughs in MK8D DLC.

[@CaleMario]

Some mkt items would be cool in the game actually

[@davidlubkowski7175]

why not dash ring or cat bell or any of the cannons? They could also do the unique items route like tour does, so yh hammer bro would have hammer and maybe 2 others would.

[@drewie98]

This aged well

[@treddix8427]

I don't want to disappoint you, but Mario Kart 9 is already out and it's called "Mario Kart Tour". I figured clarifying the truth can help clear up any misunderstandings in the first place.

[@WumbleWasp]

No that game is actually called 'Mario Kart Tour'

[@treddix8427]

@@WumbleWasp Mario Kart Wii is like Mario Kart 5. Mario Kart Tour will be included in the series and the tracks from Tour will be included in the DLC. Then why shouldn't Tour be part of the series? The actual answer as to whether Mario Kart 9 is Tour will emerge more or less through Nintendo. As soon as a new Mario Kart game comes out with new tracks, there might be a new No. in the name.

[@WumbleWasp]

The number is completely abitrary. The next game won't be numbered anyway, and the very slim chance it will be, it's absolutely not going to be 10 lmao. Besides, calling this series Mario kart 10 predictions or whatever you're saying I should have called it would have been a lot more confusing than 9 anyway... As 9 does come after 8 after all. Like how 6 comes before Mario Kart 7.

[@treddix8427]

@@WumbleWasp You're contradicting yourself in a way. You say after 6 comes 7. But you also say that names written out in full don't count? Finally, 'Mario Kart Tour' has no numbering. I mean, before Mario Kart 7 comes Mario Kart Wii, not Mario Kart 6. According to your logic you have contradicted exactly that. After 8 comes 'Tour' and numerically that's 9. So I can't understand your answer.

[@WumbleWasp]

@@treddix8427 I was joking about the 6 because you called Mario Kart Wii 5. And you seem to agree with me that Mario Kart Tour has no numbering, so we're on the same page here. As for '9' - it's obviously what I've, and most people have dubbed the next mainline game after 8. It's not like people call FE Heroes FE15 or whatever.

[@82pythons85]

I don’t get the big deal about characters, in Mariokart they all pretty much do the same shit. The only real things that matters is the graphics, gameplay, and tracks. I’d like to see CGI level graphics in a Nintendo game, we have the technology.
