Items (stat)

Items is a stat introduced in Mario Kart DS and later incorporated into the Koopa Kart series from Koopa Kart DS onward. It represents the likelihood to get powerful items. A higher Items stat means the vehicle is more likely to get powerful items, while a lower Items stat means the vehicle is less likely to get powerful items. In Koopa Kart DS, the size of the wheels determines the Items stat; vehicles with large wheels have high Items stats, while those with small wheels have low Items stats. Starting from Koopa Kart Wii, the vehicle's speed determines the Items stat; the fastest vehicles in the game have the best Items stats, while the slowest ones have the worst Items stats.
