Ice Flower

The Ice Flower is an ice ball that you can throw at opponents to freeze them. Resembling the Fire Flower from previous titles, this item has an added slow effect.

Hammer

When thrown, the hammer will parabolically fly forward and can hit your opponents. After being thrown they will also stay on the tracks for a short time and act as obstacles to block opponents!

This item was initially featured in Mario Kart Tour, and it will be making a reappearance in Mario Kart World, similar to the Ice Flower.

Mega Mushroom

Using the Mega Mushroom will make you large! This enlargened state allows you to stomp on your opponent and essentially flattening and slowing them down.

The Mega Mushroom makes its return to Mario Kart World, marking the first time since Mario Kart Wii that this item has been featured.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing that piece of information. We have updated our page thanks to your input. Thank you for using our guides!

Neither the Feather nor the Mega Mushroom are new to Mario Kart World. The Feather had first appeared in the original Super Mario Kart, then appeared again in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. (In Battle Mode only for the latter.) The Mega Mushroom made its Mario Kart debut back in Mario Kart Wii.
