A Special Item is the name applied to certain item that is obtainable only to a specific character in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Unlike a standard item, most of these power-ups can be obtained in any place during a race, and while a character holds an special item, the second character cannot have another special item from an item box. Petey Piranha and King Boo are the only characters who can receive any special item excluding Green Fireball and Birdo's Egg (due to the Mario 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 Pink Egg.

List of Special Items

A certain special item is given to two characters. Though some characters seem to have a personal power-up used only by them, they share the same function like the other's weapon. Items marked with asterisks indicate that the item would become a regular item in future Mario Kart titles; in the case of the Triple Shells and Golden Mushroom, they were already regular items prior to Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
