History[edit]

Mario Kart Arcade GP 2[edit]

The Pump first appears in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2. Upon being used, the item is placed on the racer's head and rotates back and forth while firing goop forward at regular intervals. If a racer is struck by a shot from the Pump, they will lose speed, and their screen will be partially covered in goop for a short period of time, acting similar to a Blooper item. During this period, their portrait is also covered by goop, which is visible on other players' screens.

Mario Kart Arcade GP DX[edit]

The Pump reappears in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX as an item. It acts as it does in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2.
