:::Oh, multiplied and then put into the chart. That makes a bit more sense, since having both the Bullet Bill and Golden Mushroom have a 100% rate of showing up would be conflicting :P {{User:Alex95/sig}} 10:37, 23 July 2018 (EDT)

::::To clarify why it makes sense to just report these number and not adding the probability as percentage: when some items are unavailable - a typical case being Lightning that cannot be obtained immediately after a player has obtained it - the probability of each item is recalculated by dividing the number associated to the item by the sum of the numbers of the available items in the column, which at this point might be lower than 200. The probability is therefore varaible during the race, while these numbers stay the same.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 16:01, 23 July 2018 (EDT)

I have received POW blocks and Golden Mushrooms in battles (in fact, only bullet bills are unreceivable), so therefore the 0% probability is incorrect. And no, I didn’t pull them out of the game’s files. I got them LEGIT. However, this cannot be edited, at least by me.
