A '''Special Item''' is a certain [[List of items|item]] that is obtainable only to a specific character or group of characters. Unlike a standard item, most of these items can be obtained in any place during a race, and while a character holds a Special Item in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the second character cannot have another Special Item from [[Item Box]]es. | |||

[[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]] are the only characters who can receive any special item excluding the [[green Fireball]] and [[Birdo's Egg]] (due to the [[Mario]] [[Luigi|Bros.]] and [[Yoshi]] and [[Birdo]] each having their own exclusive version of their special item while all other pairs have no difference in items). Additionally in Battle mode, all characters are able to use all the special items, but only Luigi can get a green Fireball while only Birdo can get a Magenta Egg. | ||
A [[Yoshi's Egg]], [[Bowser's Shell]], and [[Bob-omb]] also make a cameo as rainbow decorations in the background of [[Rainbow Road (GCN)|Rainbow Road]]. Due to a mistake, the [[Heart (item)|Heart]] decoration was misplaced out of the course where it cannot be seen in normal gameplay; however, it can be viewed through hacking. | A [[Yoshi's Egg]], [[Bowser's Shell]], and [[Bob-omb]] also make a cameo as rainbow decorations in the background of [[Rainbow Road (GCN)|Rainbow Road]].
