As in all ''Mario Kart'' games, ''Mario Kart 8'' keeps the use of items during the races. Four new items have been added to the list that are the [[Boomerang]], the [[Piranha Plant]], the [[Super Horn]] and the [[Crazy Eight]]. The [[Coin]] makes also a return as an item since it's first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''.

''Mario Kart'' 8 also features changes to the items' mechanics. While past ''Mario Kart'' games allowed the users to gain a different item from the [[Item Box]]es while dragging some other such as a [[Green Shell]] or a [[Banana]], in ''Mario Kart 8'', players are restricted to carry only the item they're currently holding or dragging. Releasing the item in use will allow the player to take another from the boxes. In order to keep gameplay balance, some items are much less frequent to appear, most notably the [[Thunderbolt]] and the [[Spiny Shell]]. Additionally, the [[Triple Banana]] and the [[Triple Mushroom]] surround the vehicle in the same manner as triple shells do, and opponents receive their effects when touching them, giving some disadvantage, or advantage in the case of the triple mushrooms. Racers no longer lose the items they have in the circusmtance they go off road or fall off and Lakitu comes to bring them back to the track.
