[edit] Agressive Items

Agressive items are any items that will affect other players in a way that another racer's vision is blocked, stops, or loses speed, such as the red shell. The agressive items are:

Note: Triple Shells were use able in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, but only use able as Koopa Troopa and Koopa Paratroopa. Bob-ombs were in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, but only use able as Wario and Waluigi

[edit] Strategic Items

Strategic items are items such as the mushroom, which will assist you in the race, without affecting the other racers without effort from the racer (eg. The mushroom can only affect another racer if the other racer is rammed with the mushroom). Such items are:

Note: The Bullet Bill is considered strategic because it will not affect other racers unless they are in Bullet Bill's race path.
