History

Mario Kart 7

Peach under the effect of the Lucky Seven in Mario Kart 7.

The Lucky Seven debuts in Mario Kart 7. It is one of the items that can be found from the Item Boxes by racers in approximately fourth place to seventh place, with a rarity on par with the Spiny Shell. When used, seven items appear surrounding the racer's kart rotating similarly to the Triple Green or Red Shells. The racer can then use them one by one; the item used is the one closest to the front of the kart. The Lucky Seven spawns a Banana, a Green Shell, a Red Shell, a Mushroom, a Star, a Blooper, and a Bob-omb. If the item settings in VS or Battle modes are set to Bananas Only, Shells Only, Mushrooms Only, or Bob-ombs Only, then all seven items will be Bananas, Red Shells, Mushrooms, or Bob-ombs, respectively.

Like Triple Green or Red Shells, opposing racers that get too close are hit by the circling items. As one would expect, a Banana or Shell simply hits the opponent, while Mushrooms or Stars give opponents their boost, and a Bob-omb explodes and assuredly takes out any items that had yet to be used. A collision with the Blooper will put a single splotch of ink on the opponent's screen.
