Crazy Eight

The Crazy Eight is a new item that is introduced in Mario Kart 8. Very much like its precedent from Mario Kart 7, the Lucky Seven, the Crazy 8 gives players 8 items to use at once, circling around the kart where other racers can feel their effects if they run into one. The only difference between the Lucky Seven and Crazy Eight is that the Crazy Eight contains a coin item as well as the other items the Lucky Seven has. The name is based on the popular card game.
