Lightning: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the effect of this item is very similar to its effect in ''Mario Kart 7''. In these games however, when a character is shrunken, the loss of speed makes it more difficult for the racer to perform tricks and to drift. Unlike in previous ''Mario Kart'' games, when a racer is hit with Lightning, they will lose the item they are holding even if they are under the effects of a [[Super Star|Star]] (in the original version only). Like the first three games and ''Mario Kart 7'', when a racer is shrunken by Lightning, and another one with the normal size drives on them, they will be squished. Up to three racers can hold a Lightning Bolt at the same time. In version 2.2.0, the ligntnig bolt will no longer detract the players [[paraglider]].
