All new items in Mario Kart World

During Nintendo’s Mario Kart World Direct on Thursday, Nintendo outlined everything players need to know about the racing game ahead of its release alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5. Everyone knows that items spread delicious chaos around courses in Mario Kart; naturally, Nintendo spent a few minutes showing off some of the new items coming to Mario Kart World.

Nintendo also briefly showed some returning items, too, like Bullet Bill and Lightning. Both are some of the game-changing items that can really impact a race’s results; Bullet Bill transforms you into a super fast bullet that crushes the competition, and Lightning makes everyone super small and slow.

Here are all the new items confirmed for Mario Kart World so far:

• Coin Shell — The golden Coin Shell can be thrown like any other shell, but instead of honing in on your opponents, it’ll leave a trail of coins behind it. But you’re not the only one who can pick ‘em up, so use it wisely or risk giving your opponents a competitive advantage.

• Ice Flower — The Ice Flower can be thrown at rival racers to briefly freeze them up and cause them to spin out.

• Hammer — Hammers are thrown in a big ol’ arc and get embedded in the course; rival racers that hit them will crash out. They also look useful for blocking off parts of the course to mess up the other racers.

• Mega Mushroom — The regular Mushroom item makes you big, but the Mega Mushroom makes you really big.

• Feather — You can do little hops already in Mario Kart, but the Feather item lets you do a big hop. You can use it to dodge incoming items.

• Kamek — Kamek, the Magikoopa wizard, can transform other racers on the track. The video shows Kamek transforming racers into football players on racing vehicles. Nintendo didn’t show any other effects, but it sounds like there might be some surprises here.

Mario Kart World will be released on June 5 alongside the Nintendo Switch 2.
