Fake Item Box (Mario Kart 64)



The Fake Item Box is an item in the Mario Kart series. Even though this item sucks as of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, this page will focus on its Mario Kart 64 variant.

Why This Variant of The Item Rocks

 * 1) This item is basically a Banana that floats in mid-air and is more effective, as it blasts players upwards instead of spinning them out.
 * 2) Like the Banana, this variant of the Fake Item Box can be used as a means of defense.
 * 3) It looks similar to a real Item Box, something that can't be said for this item in more recent games.
 * 4) It can block items, unlike the future installments.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It can only be thrown backwards.
 * 2) It is poorly implemented in newer games as of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.
