A '''Special Item''' is the name applied to certain [[item]] that is obtainable only to a specific character in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. Unlike a standard item, most of these power-ups can be obtained in any place during a race, and while a character holds an special item, the second character cannot have another special item from an item box. [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]] are the only characters who can receive any special item excluding Luigi's Green Fireball and Birdo's Pink Egg (due to the Mario Bros. and Yoshi and Birdo each having their own exclusive version of their special item while all other pairs have no difference in items). Additionally in Battle mode, all characters are able to use all the special items, but only Luigi can get a Green Fireball while only Birdo can get a Pink Egg.
