Ranking every MKPC item

18:
FIBs have never been good, and they're even worse in this since:

1. They are tiny
2. CPUs follow very specific lines

17:
Shouldn't have to explain this one...

16:

Better FIBs that can defend.

15:
Banana, but throw.

14:

13:

12:
Speed boosts are actually really helpful, but there's better items out there.

11: Three shells, how exciting...

10: Three bananas, how exciting...

9:

Red shells are stupidly good in this game.

8:

Blue shells don't do a whole lot if you're using them.

7:

6:

Oh boy, time for something everyone will disagree with me on. Golden mushrooms force you to wait. Boosts can send you out of control very easily.

5:

4:

3:
Better mega mushroom.



And now for the battle of the century...

I'd actually rank the star lower than Mega Mushroom for 1 main reason: speed. The star doesn't actually make you that much faster and you can still outrun it with SMTs. Mega mushroom on the other hand, the difference is staggering. You can easily get back into the race with one of those compared to a star

the odd thing is that that's the exact reason I made that decision

Because of control?

My ranking of the items would be this, based of my lounge experience:

18. Bloopers (They do nothing in this game, it's only kinda useful in battle but for the rest of the game, no it's useless)

17. Fake Item Boxes (You can't use it as a defensive item so it's easy to get hit by reds while you're in 1st place but it's good as an offensive item)

16. Bananas (It's good for defensive and offensive item)

15. Poison Mushroom (Same as banana but it has a different effect when you hit it which is a little better than a banana)

14. Green shell (Same as banana but you can throw it forward and backward and you get more damage compared to a banana)

13. Triple Bananas (Same as single banana but it's triple banana this time)

12. Red Shell (Yeah this item is good in this game and you can literally hit someone with this shell even though they have a defensive item)

11. Blue shell (This item is not very useful because you can dodge the blue shell with every power item and by using the cannon)

10. Bob-ombs/Bombs (Very good item for offensive and defensive however it's pretty hard to time your throw and it's easy to miss some people)

9. Mushroom (Yeah this is just an item to gain speed for a little bit but you can take some really good shortcut and dodge the blue shell in 1st place)

8. Triple green shell (Yeah this item is really good especially for higher spots because once you have this item, nobody can pass you easily without hitting a green shell)

7. Triple red shell (Same as triple green shell but it's red shells. They're really good for offensive and defensive)

6. Triple mushroom (Really good for taking a lot of shortcuts)

5. Golden mushroom (It's very useful for taking so many shortcuts but there's a risk of hitting items and you can't dodge with this item)

4. Star (It's very good for being invincible but you don't go very fast at all so it's hard to catch up but at least you can dodge)

3. Bullet Bill (It's good for catching up but the bullet bill doesn't take off road cuts so it's a little less useful than the item above it and sometimes it drops you in a bad spot)

2. Mega mushroom (Amazing item for catching up and you go really fast)

1. Lightning bolt/Shock (This item is incredible. Once you use it, everybody will be shocked and you have a chance at catching up. This is also a skill based item so you don't wanna dodge anyone because that could be the deciding factor in each race)

So yeah, this list is based on my lounge experience and I have to say, this list was very close. Some items are interchangeable and maybe from 1 or 2 months from now, it's probably going to change a little bit for the placement of items.

oh yeah
