{| class="wikitable"
===Returning Items===
|-
*[[Banana]] - Commonly received in the leader's spot. It can be simply dropped behind the player, thrown ahead using ↑ on the D-pad and {{button|ds|L}}, or even dragged behind while holding {{button|ds|L}} (but not in Wi-Fi). Once a racer hits a banana, they spin out, losing speed.
!Image
**[[Triple Bananas]] - A bunch of three Bananas that the player keeps them behind his or her vehicle upon pressing the {{button|ds|L}} button once. Pressing the button again, a Banana can be dropped back or thrown forwards. This item does not appear on Wi-Fi mode.
!Name
*[[Green Shell]] - Another item commonly obtainable when first or lower, the Green shell is a staple that the racer can shoot in any direction. The Green Shell slides in straight lines, bouncing around the walls until disappear by knocking a vehicle, item, or bouncing off several times. The kart will flip when touches a Green Shell.
!align="center"|Description
**[[Triple Green Shells]] - Three shells circle the player's kart, providing a protective shield. This item is commonly reserved for second to fourth place. It is not available on Wi-Fi mode.
|-
*[[Red Shell]] - Unlike a Green Shell, this red one will pursue the opponent before the driver to flip them when hit (In Battle Mode, it will hit the nearest player). The shell can be stopped using a Banana as a shield or by any other obstacle on the track, but it's generally a reliable item. It can be shot backwards, but it will act like a Green Shell.
|[[File:Mushroom2.PNG|100px]]
**[[Triple Red Shells]] - Same as Triple Green Shells, except with homing capabilities when fired. This item is unavailable in Wi-Fi mode.
|[[Mushroom]]
*[[Spiny Shell (Mario Kart)|Spiny Shell]] - This blue winged, and spiked shell flies ahead to the leader to explode, popping the driver into the air while the victim loses the items on hand. Very deadly and rarely missing, It can be found from fourth to seventh place. This is one of the few items not present in [[Battle Mode]].
|''Gives players a short speed boost that ignores terrain.''
*[[Fake Item Box]] - A tricky item. Instead of an upside-down ? mark as the difference between it and a real item box, the trap simply has no marking on it. It appears red on the bottom screen, while real item boxes are blue. Fake Item Boxes can be dropped behind, thrown or held, ranging from the leader to the fourth of the pack.
|-
*[[Mushroom]] - This speed booster increases velocity momentarily, effective to make certain shortcuts while going into loose ground. In Balloon Battle, players boosting and hit an opponent will steal one of their balloons, unless they have 3 balloons, which is the maximum amount. It can be obtained from second to fifth place.
|[[File:MKwii TripleShroom.jpg|100px]]
**Triple Mushrooms - A bunch of three toadstools, providing three chances to use. Commonly in fourth to eighth place.
|[[Triple Mushrooms]]
**[[Golden Mushroom]] - This regal Mushroom provides unlimited boosts until wearing off once used. Ranges from sixth to eighth place.
|''Gives players three Mushrooms, which give separate boosts. The default item in Time Trial mode.''
*[[Boo]] - Returning after an absence in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Boo makes the player invisible (the driver disappears from the map screen) and immune, able to steal an item from another player if possible. It can be found from fourth to sixth place.
|-
*[[Bob-omb]] - Now available to every player, the [[Bob-omb]] is a dangerous explosive that can be dropped backwards, thrown forward or dragged behind the [[Kart]]. After being placed, the Bob-omb will either wait for a few seconds to explode or sense any driver coming in the vicinity and blow up. Players will fly to the air or spin around, losing their items held. Ranges from second to fifth place.
|[[File:MKwii Goldmushroom.jpg|100px]]
*[[Star]] - A powerful Star that turns any driver invincible for some seconds. The Star will grant the player great speed, immunity against every item and power to bowl over other vehicles when hit. Range from sixth to eighth place.
|[[Golden Mushroom]]
*[[Thunderbolt (item)|Thunderbolt]] - Any driver that uses the rare and powerful Thunderbolt, will cause their opponents to spin out of control, shrink to microscopic size, as well as reducing their speed and lose all of their [[Item]]s. A feature added from ''Mario Kart DS'' is the [[Lightning]]'s effect time. While a player is in a lower place, the time under the item's effect will be shorter. It can only be picked up in eighth place and even then can only be picked up when the player is far behind seventh place. The sound when characters are tiny is a "Pitch bend" effect on the course's music. It appears in Battle mode, but only in Shine Runners. In  Shine Runners, it causes all players to lose one Shine (if they have one) in addition to the effects said.
|''The driver gets an infinite amount of mushroom boosts for 7.5 seconds.''

===New Items===
|[[File:MKwii Itembox.jpg|100px]]
[[File:Bulletbill64.jpg|thumb|Mario using the [[Bullet Bill]] item at [[SNES Donut Plains 1]].]]
|[[Item Box]]
*[[Blooper]] - When used, all players in front of the wielding player are sprayed by Blooper ink that blocks their view for a while. Racers can wear off the ink going at high speed like running over a [[Dash Panel]] or being propelled by a Mushroom or any other booster. Though the Blooper just spits ink to a player, causing no real damage to them, CPU racers slow down and wobble left and right when affected. It can be given when running in third to sixth place. In Balloon battle and Shine runners, all players except the wielding player are sprayed by [[Blooper]] ink. Unlike VS mode, CPU racers will never slow down and wobble left and right when affected.
|''Drivers are able to run into these item boxes to obtain an item, depending on their rank on the current race course.''
*[[Bullet Bill]] - Inspired by the [[Chain Chomp]] special item in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', this item turns the character into a Bullet Bill and automatically drives for the player for a limited period of time. Once used, the Bullet Bill is unstoppable, invincible, and has a very high top speed. The player cannot maneuver the Bullet Bill, and the [[Bullet Bill]] will knock aside any racer that gets in its way, unless the racer uses a [[Star]] or a [[Boo]]. Additionally, the effect's duration may vary depending the current place the driver is. The Bullet Bill can be given in a place lower than fifth, and is not available in battle mode.

|-
|[[File:MKwii Thunderbolt.jpg|100px]]
|[[Thunderbolt_(item)|Lightning]]
|''Lightning strikes every racer (other than user), causing them to spin out, drop their items and shrink to very small size, driving more slowly. The effects wear off from lowest place to first. Any users with the Mega Mushroom in effect shrink to normal size.''
|-
|[[File:MKwii Bob-omb.jpg|100px]]
|[[Bob-omb]]
|''Blows up a racer anywhere on the track. Has the same effect as the spiny shell except that it can be lobbed or tossed backwards just like a banana.''
|-
|[[File:Blooper.png|100px]]

|[[Bullet Bill]]

|-
|[[File:BooNSMBU.png|100px]]
|[[Boo]]
|''The Boo will search for the best item in the race field, will steal it and will give the user the stolen item so that he can use it. In addition, the Boo makes the driver invisible from other racers and totally invincible, so the driver can pass through items, course hazards and other players without getting hit. The user can drive off-road without suffering any slow down with a Boo.
