A '''Fake Item Box''' is an [[item]] found in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. They resemble regular [[Item Box]]es, but they do not bestow items to karts that pass through them-instead, the kart will crash. Fake Item Boxes are generally obtained by racers near the front of the race, being used as traps similarly to [[Banana]]s; however, Fake Item Boxes usually cannot block incoming [[Red Shell]]s, a trade-off for their better disguise.

Fake Item Boxes are generally obtained by racers near the front of the race, and can be held behind a [[kart]], though they cannot block incoming [[Green Shell]]s or [[Red Shell]]s.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
The Fake Item Box's first appearance is in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. They appear identical to regular Item Boxes with a key difference: the question mark inside is upside-down (a ¿ instead of a ?). Karts that collide with one are blasted into the air. Like Bananas, they can be used to block incoming shells, though unlike Bananas, they can only be dropped, not tossed forwards.
====''Mario Kart 64''====
[[File:FakeItemBoxMK64 icon.png|frame|left]]
Fake Items are items in ''Mario Kart 64''. They can be obtained only by a player in first or second place, though computer players can also obtain them in 3rd to 6th place. They appear identical to regular Item Boxes with a key difference: the question mark inside is upside-down (a ¿ instead of a ?). Karts that collide with one are blasted into the air. Like Bananas, they can be used to block incoming shells, though unlike Bananas, they cannot be tossed forward. If placed in midair, a Fake Item floats; this is the only game where Fake Items are unaffected by gravity.


If placed in an area with no safe ground below, the Fake Item Box will float; this is the only game where it acts like this.
Pre-release screenshots of ''Mario Kart 64'' depict the Fake Item with a bomb inside of it instead of an upside-down "?". They were also originally named the "Bogus Box".<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Prerelease:Mario_Kart_64#Early_Fake_Item_Box|title=''Mario Kart 64''|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=August 13, 2024}}</ref>


===''Mario Kart Double Dash!!''===
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
Fake Item Boxes are absent in ''[[Mario Kart Super Circuit]]'', but they return in ''[[Mario Kart Double Dash!!]]''. Here, not only do they have a ¿ symbol, but are also red, making them more obvious than the ones in ''Mario Kart 64''. Any item, including Red Shells and Chain Chomps, phase through them.
Fake Items are items in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. They retain their ¿ symbol and are now colored red, making them easier to distinguish from real Item Boxes. However, the color is slightly obscured when viewed from a distance; they will only appear solid red as the player approaches. Racers hit by a Fake Item will emit red electricity while tumbling. They can be destroyed by running into them with a [[Super Star]] or picked up with [[Heart (item)|Hearts]], while other obstacles pass through them, including all shells, eggs, [[Fireball]]s, and [[Chain Chomp]]s. Fake Items can no longer block shells.


===''Mario Kart DS''===
====''Mario Kart DS''====
The Fake Item Box's next appearance is in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. They have a new set of differences from a real Item Box: they lack a "?" entirely, they do not spin around, and they show up as red on the bottom screen's map. Their overall behavior is much the same as the previous game, though they do not bounce when thrown.

Fake Item Boxes, now known by their current name, are items in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. They have a new set of differences from a real Item Box: they lack a "¿" entirely, they do not spin around, and they show up as red on the bottom screen's map. Their overall behavior is much the same as the previous game, though they do not bounce when thrown. Additionally, they get knocked/faded away if a racer collides with them instead of exploding as all other iterations do. They can be obtained if the player is anywhere from 1st to 3rd place, with computer players also being able to obtain them in 4th and 5th place. In Balloon Battle, they can be obtained if the player has two or more balloons. Fake Item Boxes are obstacles to avoid in Missions 4-6 and 7-8.


Some missions involve collecting a number of Item Boxes while avoiding a plethora of Fake Item Boxes. While the real isn't exceptionally difficult to spot amongst the fakes, they are still a danger when lined up in rows.
====''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2''====
Fake Item Boxes appear in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'' under the name '''Jack-in-the-boxes'''.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=RobertoLPDX|date=June 28, 2015|url=youtu.be/D14ZwD1uxgA?t=3283|timestamp=54:43|title=Let's Play: Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 (Longplay)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 25, 2019}}</ref> They look similar to the Fake Item Boxes of other games, but have a different effect when touched: Instead of flipping the kart out, it unleashes a toy jack-in-the-box clown to temporarily cover the screen while the speed of the kart decreases.


====''Mario Kart Wii''====
Fake Item Boxes are items in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. They maintain their design from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', but with a style change to match the new style of the real ones, as well as being larger than in the previous games. They can be obtained from 1st to 5th place, with computer-controlled players also being able to obtain it in 6th and 7th place. The highest chance of obtaining this item is in 1st place, with a 7 out of 40 (17.5%) chance of obtaining it in said position. While they still have a ¿ sign inside, like in ''Double Dash!!'', they can hide their red color at a distance - only on approaching do they turn red. They are also bigger than real Item Boxes. Fake Item Boxes become blue instead if they belong to the blue team in team play. Much like in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', Fake Item Boxes can be destroyed only by colliding into them. In {{classic-link|N64|DK's Jungle Parkway}}, if a lightweight racer places a Fake Item Box close to the edge of the track near the ramp and a heavyweight rams them into it using a [[Mushroom]], they will get sent flying onto a small island. This is best demonstrated in Vs. Mode using two human players.
====''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''====
Fake Item Boxes are items in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''. They have the same purpose as the Jack-in-the-boxes in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2''.
===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''===
Fake Item Boxes are items in the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. They appear in [[Dream Alpine (Individual)|Dream Alpine]], [[Dream Ski Cross (Individual)|Dream Ski Cross]], [[Dream Snowboard Cross (Individual)|Dream Snowboard Cross]], [[Dream Short Track]] and [[Dream Bobsleigh]], where Fake Item Boxes can be placed behind the player and make anyone who hits them fall over and lose speed.

Fake Item Boxes become blue instead if they belong to the blue team in team play. If a player hits a Fake Item Box that belongs to their team, it will vanish without causing any damage. Much like in ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'', Fake Items can't block shells, so they're useless for defense purposes.

First appearance Mario Kart 64 (1996)
Latest appearance Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (2018)

The Fake Item Box is an item introduced in Mario Kart 64, where it is known as simply the Fake Item.[1][2] Fake Item Boxes are hazards that flip vehicles over when driven into, though they imitate the appearance of an Item Box, potentially tricking racers into driving into them. Fake Item Boxes are generally obtained by racers near the front of the race, and can be held behind a kart, though they cannot block incoming Green Shells or Red Shells.

History

Mario Kart series

Mario Kart 64

FakeItemBoxMK64 icon.png

Fake Items are items in Mario Kart 64. They can be obtained only by a player in first or second place, though computer players can also obtain them in 3rd to 6th place. They appear identical to regular Item Boxes with a key difference: the question mark inside is upside-down (a ¿ instead of a ?). Karts that collide with one are blasted into the air. Like Bananas, they can be used to block incoming shells, though unlike Bananas, they cannot be tossed forward. If placed in midair, a Fake Item floats; this is the only game where Fake Items are unaffected by gravity.

Pre-release screenshots of Mario Kart 64 depict the Fake Item with a bomb inside of it instead of an upside-down "?". They were also originally named the "Bogus Box".[3]

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Fake Items are items in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. They retain their ¿ symbol and are now colored red, making them easier to distinguish from real Item Boxes. However, the color is slightly obscured when viewed from a distance; they will only appear solid red as the player approaches. Racers hit by a Fake Item will emit red electricity while tumbling. They can be destroyed by running into them with a Super Star or picked up with Hearts, while other obstacles pass through them, including all shells, eggs, Fireballs, and Chain Chomps. Fake Items can no longer block shells.

Mario Kart DS

Fake Item Boxes, now known by their current name, are items in Mario Kart DS. They have a new set of differences from a real Item Box: they lack a "¿" entirely, they do not spin around, and they show up as red on the bottom screen's map. Their overall behavior is much the same as the previous game, though they do not bounce when thrown. Additionally, they get knocked/faded away if a racer collides with them instead of exploding as all other iterations do. They can be obtained if the player is anywhere from 1st to 3rd place, with computer players also being able to obtain them in 4th and 5th place. In Balloon Battle, they can be obtained if the player has two or more balloons. Fake Item Boxes are obstacles to avoid in Missions 4-6 and 7-8.

Mario Kart Arcade GP 2

Fake Item Boxes appear in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 under the name Jack-in-the-boxes.[4] They look similar to the Fake Item Boxes of other games, but have a different effect when touched: Instead of flipping the kart out, it unleashes a toy jack-in-the-box clown to temporarily cover the screen while the speed of the kart decreases.

Mario Kart Wii

Fake Item Boxes are items in Mario Kart Wii. They maintain their design from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, but with a style change to match the new style of the real ones, as well as being larger than in the previous games. They can be obtained from 1st to 5th place, with computer-controlled players also being able to obtain it in 6th and 7th place. The highest chance of obtaining this item is in 1st place, with a 7 out of 40 (17.5%) chance of obtaining it in said position.

Fake Item Boxes become blue instead if they belong to the blue team in team play. Much like in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Fake Item Boxes can be destroyed only by colliding into them. In N64 DK's Jungle Parkway, if a lightweight racer places a Fake Item Box close to the edge of the track near the ramp and a heavyweight rams them into it using a Mushroom, they will get sent flying onto a small island. This is best demonstrated in Vs. Mode using two human players.

Mario Kart Arcade GP DX

Fake Item Boxes are items in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. They have the same purpose as the Jack-in-the-boxes in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

Fake Item Boxes are items in the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. They appear in Dream Alpine, Dream Ski Cross, Dream Snowboard Cross, Dream Short Track and Dream Bobsleigh, where Fake Item Boxes can be placed behind the player and make anyone who hits them fall over and lose speed.

Minecraft

In the Super Mario Mash-up for Minecraft, Fake Item Boxes replace End Crystals, with their texture being based on their design in Mario Kart Wii.

Unused appearances

Mario Kart: Super Circuit

While not in the final game, the Fake Item was going to appear in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, but was taken out. It shares the same function as the Banana.
