Thunder Stick

Thunder Sticks are items in Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2. It is used when the item button is pressed (which starts swinging the rod). If it touches the opponent, the opponent gets zapped and knocked out for a brief while. It also has a limited time use. Unlike the Star, the High Beam, Hammer, 10T Hammer and Lightning Rod, Thunder Stick doesn't increase speed.
