Interestingly, because Boos return as an item in MK8DX, Coins are actually useful at being cannon fodder to prevent an actually useful item from being taken.

The tanooki tail is useful in mario kart tour. In tour, when you use the tail you can fly with it and it spins, causing damage to other people and letting you take shortcuts

In an attempt to make this as brief as possible: The blue shell in Super Circuit can be outran easily. The red shells in double dash literally do not work as they don't home-in on their target when close enough. The coins item in MK8DX are actually useful as they often appear in the first slot, meaning you have protection from the Boo. This happens a lot because of how easy it is to get double item boxes. The coins item also increases your max speed by 2%, which makes a big difference in races. I think that's it

I love the thunder cloud, it’s such a game changer and makes games so much more intense with friends

No wonder Nico hates the coin. He doesn't like collecting them in every Mario game!!! (Can't wait for you to do it in Wonder!)

Blooper is very good against AI. No one ever mentions it.

Coins are not really useless in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. If you get one, you can't get the second one unless you use it. That helps to store your items in your second slot and prevent them from being taken by other players with a boo item and also increases your chances of getting defensive items in the first place

I’d love to see Nico rank every Mario Kart character, since those videos are super entertaining.

You should make super smash bros ultimate items rankings

8:20 but with the banana, you kind of just throw it behind you and hope for the best proseeds to throw it in front of him

I disagree with bob-ombs being the worst item in the game in Double Dash. If you get one as 1st place, you can throw it against a wall in a steep angle to make it bounce back to the middle of the road and work as a proximity mine for 5 secs forcing the person in 2nd to either wait or explode. A single banana is the worst item you can get imo as fake item boxes have a bigger hitbox than a banana and can block off shortcuts like at DK Mountain

I hope the coin never comes back as an item in all future Mario Kart games. They were useful in Tour, but pissed me off in 8 Deluxe every time.

For Mario Kart Arcade GP, the worst is easily the mega mushroom since all it does is make your model bigger, meaning you’re more vulnerable.

1:54 bro wanted to hit a ghost 💀

I actually never knew that you can blow into the microphone on the DS to make the Blooper's ink fall quicker. I've been playing the game for years, and I just now found out about that from this video.

4:33 that’s definitely not true. The only ways of getting rid of the ink is through a dash panel , super star , mushroom, boo and bullet bill.

Here's what I consider to bw the worst item in every Mario Kart game. Super Mario Kart: Coin Mario Kart 64: Red Shell (because it fails a lot) Mario Kart: Super Circuit: Banana Mario Kart: Double Dash!!: Fireball (worst Special Item), Fake Item Box (worst overall item) Mario Kart DS: Blooper Mario Kart Wii: All of the new items (Mega Mushroom, POW Block, and Thunder Cloud) Mario Kart 7: Super Leaf (worst new item), Blooper (worst overall item) Mario Kart 8: Boomerang Flower (worst new item), Coin (worst overall item) Mario Kart Tour: Bubble Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit: Coin

Coin is actually usefull with 10 you get around a 75% speed buff and you can't get a coin if you already have one

I actually didn't know you could blow into the mic to get rid if the blooper ink in DS that's interesting

Nico I always love to hear your charisma in your videos. Never gets old 😊

Hey Nico, don't you hate the Blue Shell? Also, I realized the Yoshi Egg, Heart, and Fake Item Box were on your worst Mario Kart items list from 2016.

You know it’s a good day when nico posts!!

5:24 you actually baited me into thinking you were gonna talk about the fake item box

Honestly I think the Bullet Bill is the worst in MKT. At least the bubble still gives you points, so you can keep combo, and now you can get out of it early by repeatedly tapping the screen, and I don't think it takes up an item slot while it is being used anymore. The same can't be said about the bullet bill. If you get it, better hope the pack ahead is close enough together so that the bullet bill ends immediately, otherwise you will drop combo and reach the next set of item boxes with at least 1 item slot still occupied, so no possibility of frenzy, and 1 less item to increase your action count with.

I'm impressed with your character arc Nicobbq. Years ago you hated the Blue Shell, and now it isn't even on the list. I'm proud of you.

Damn I never knew you could blow on the DS to get rid of the ink😧

Finally, someone admits that Bob-ombs suck, but the tail is often misunderstood.

I got a idea : The best battle track in every Mario kart games

I think the green shell wasn't in Home Circuit is probably because it wouldn't be able to tell what is or isn't a wall

Bullet bill is actually worse then bubble. Bullet bill hardly hits anyone, takes you literally from last to 5 place, and breaks your combo entirely. Bullet bill is so bad.

Love how the 1st 3 arcade Mario Karts have basically 100 Items but the VR version has 3

Wow, I’m surprised no mention of the blue shell

I know the bubble is bad in Tour, but bullet bill is far worse, while bubble sometimes gives points, bullet bill does not in the duration of it.

You far in Mario kart VR the only thing you can do with banana is throw it behind you and hope for the best, but literally in the video you show it being used exactly like a shell multiple times Also coins increase your maximum speed up until ten. You always want to have plenty of coins. When you are at Max speed getting a coin gives you a tiny speed boost temporarily. People tend to use their find as soon as they get them, but what you should do is hold onto and use the coin after you get hit, to get your speed back up(or before picking up a new item)

"Who cares about Mario Kart without items?" asked Nico, who has several videos about playing Mario Kart without touching items :P

I disagree that you put the Bob-omb as the worst item in Double Dash. The Fake Item Box is way dumber as you can tell which ones are fake.

New Nicobbq video = my day gets better

Yes! Mario Kart 8 brought back the coin item! I am so happy!

I like the coin in MK8, makes using your banana peel a gamble in first place

I didn’t know blowing on the DS mic removes Blooper ink quicker

In deluxe, i feel like the worst item is the feather, i dont even know what it does except make you jump which isnt that helpful. And the coin does give you a higher total speed, but that still doesn't make it the best item

Fake item box is wayyyyyyy worse than the bobomb in DD and worse than the thundercloud

Wait, you could blow the ink away?? I never knew that!!

Blooper is the worst item in every game since DS and I do include the TC in that too.

This is what triggers me about Super Mario Kart (Losing Coins when you bump into other racers).

Fun fact: If you hold a coin in Mk8 deluxe, you can never get another coin item

The green shell isn't in home circuit because, how would it work if in the normal games, it bounces off walls? Since the shell wouldn't be a real world object, there's no way for it to bounce off walls. I also didn't know Mario Kart Arcade GP VR existed. Now I have Two mario kart game that I never played: Double Dash and arcade GP VR. And I didn't know Arcade GP had so many items. The reason I haven't played Double Dash is because I don't javelin a gamecube and I literally can NEVER get dolphin emulator to work. But it took me years to realize that I could just buy Double Dash and put it in my Wii

personally the worst item in mario kart 64 is the fake item box because it dose not protect you.

These choices are right

Hi Nicobbq I love this and I hope you have a good day and you are awesome

3:20 like... 30ish? oh... nvm.....

Wii really added the worst items in the series

worst item in mk8dx imo is actually fire balls, cuz online sucks and I always miss while others always hit me

Blooper. In a game where giving even the worst of players a chance to win I hate the blooper. If I brought a friend over to play mario kart, and they weren't familiar with the tracks. They are going to be so lost when they're hit with a blooper. But you, who knows all of the tracks by heart, may not even notice the blooper is there because you are so focused and know the tracks so well! GET RID OF THIS ITEM I HATE IT!!

Some items are disappointing to get.

0:00 to 0:08 I can't agree more.

I was expecting for super Mario kart’s worst item to be the feather.

Is the Mario Kart Tour player “Nico” you? Because I keep seeing that person in ranked and they're legit 10K points ahead of everyone else...

0:38 I knew it.

the super leaf is a good item it is debatably the best defensive item in all of mariokart

DO MORE LIVESTREAMS NICO

I’m Surprised that the pie Is not the worst Mario kart Item

Make a video,where you try not to touch any yucky cherries in super mario bros 2 (USA)

I used to like the takooni tail item but now I really don't, it's so useless and annoying. And whoever says the blue shell is a horrible item is probably a little kid, it's not a bad item it's just been overused in MK7 & even 8. Coin is obviously stupid to have which I don't get why they put that in MK8 they literally could've just did what they did in MK7 where they're just on the track. Some of your picks I do agree with tho. But I disgree with the blooper I think it's a good item and yes it does effect players bc they slow them down and ofc they can't really see.

The coin is useful in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because having one means you can't get another coin. So if you're maxed out on coins, save the coin until you get another item. That way you're guaranteed a useful item. Holding onto the coin also prevents a Boo from stealing a useful item.

The Fine Mushroom is useless in Mario Kart Arcade GP.

graet video nico

Mario Kart is great but yeah some power ups suck

The worst item is the Blue Shell. It's the help someone else item because they suck item.

Second, but thats ok

I agree with this list

No blue shell?

Mario kart tour 💯

Bubble is just a bad bullet bill Change my mind 👇

My favorite Mario kart is Mario kart 64 I haven't played all

Can you do new super luigi u without touching a block

HUMP!
