'''Item Boxes''' (or '''item boxes''') are boxes | '''Item Boxes''' (or '''item boxes''') are boxes featured mainly in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Item Boxes look like [[? Block]]s but are transparent and often multicolored, and in more recent games, they have an iridescent checkerboard pattern. When a character passes through them, they get a random [[List of items|item]]. These blocks also appear in ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' and ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. They have appeared in all the ''Mario Kart'' games, except ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', where [[? Panel]]s are used instead. [[Fake Item Box]]es appear as items from the real Item Boxes and can be used in a similar way to [[Banana]]s, but they have a bigger impact by making racers flip over instead of spinning out. As seen in [[Toad's Factory]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Item Boxes can be made out of [[Brick Block]]s. | ||
The positions in which players are in a race determine what kinds of items they will get. For example, someone in first place may get a [[Green Shell]] or a Banana, while someone in last place may get a [[Super Star]], a [[Golden Dash Mushroom]], [[Lightning]], or a [[Bullet Bill]]. | The positions in which players are in a race determine what kinds of items they will get.

Item Boxes take on a different appearance in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. Here, they look like cubes that change color instead of their previous octahedron shape. Most are found in groups of 3 but some boxes are isolated in uncommon locations in the track. Other than appearance and location changes, no functional changes have been made. | Item Boxes take on a different appearance in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Item Boxes make a reappearance, along with a new variety named Double Item Boxes. Unlike regular Item Boxes, Double Item Boxes grant both the driver and the thrower items. Item Boxes in ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'' take on a different appearance from their previous appearances: they are still shaped like cubes, but they have a checkerboard texture, similar to a race flag. | In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Item Boxes make a reappearance, along with a new variety named Double Item Boxes.

''Double Dash!!'' is the first game where Item Boxes can move independently around the track - some in [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]] or [[Mushroom City]] will follow the track like the other cars, while some in [[GCN Peach Beach|Peach Beach]] or [[GCN Sherbet Land|Sherbet Land]] will move back and forth along a piece of track. Moving Item Boxes respawn where they were last broken, except in Mushroom Bridge and Mushroom City, where they respawn in the pipe shortcut and in alleyways, respectively | ''Double Dash!!'' is the first game where Item Boxes can move independently around the track - some in [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]] or [[Mushroom City]] will follow the track like the other cars, while some in [[GCN Peach Beach|Peach Beach]] or [[GCN Sherbet Land|Sherbet Land]] will move back and forth along a piece of track.

In split-screen mode except for Battle Course stages, Item Boxes are brighter checkerboard texture than the normal checkerboard texture. In the mini-game Bob-omb Blast, Item Boxes and Double Item Boxes only grant players the [[Bob-omb]] item, and have their "?" replaced with a Bob-omb to show this. | In split-screen mode except for Battle Course stages, Item Boxes are brighter checkerboard texture than the normal checkerboard texture.

In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the boxes have a similar appearance to the boxes in ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'', though Double Item Boxes are absent. They are slightly more square with white borders and including transparent areas, and serve the exact same function. Like in the previous games, they still grant the player an item depending on the player's place. | In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the boxes have a similar appearance to the boxes in ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'', though Double Item Boxes are absent.

In [[DS DK Pass|DK Pass]], there is an item box sitting on top of a large hill that gives the player, regardless of their current standing, a [[Super Star|Star]], [[Mushroom#Mario Kart series|Triple Mushrooms]], a single Mushroom, or (rarely) a [[Red Shell]]. This is the only location of such in the entire game, but it also appears in missions where the player must beat an opponent (like [[Yoshi]], a [[Chain Chomp]] or a [[Car (obstacle)|red car]]). | In [[DS DK Pass|DK Pass]], there is an item box sitting on top of a large hill that gives the player, regardless of their current standing, a [[Super Star|Star]], [[Mushroom#Mario Kart series|Triple Mushrooms]], a single Mushroom, or (rarely) a [[Red Shell]].
