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 Eight gives the player eight items to use at once, circling around the vehicle 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.

Trivia

 * Mario Circuit is based on the Möbius strip, likewise with the Crazy Eight's logo.
 * In Hyrule Circuit and Animal Crossing, the coin in the Crazy Eight is replaced with a rupee or a bell respectively.
