28 distinct power-ups are available in the gaming world known as Mario Kart World, allowing players to gain an edge over others, eliminate rivals, or enhance their racing performance in various ways. Some of these unique power-ups introduced in Mario Kart World include the Ice Flower and Coin Shell items, but many classic favorites from previous Mario Kart games are also present, such as the Banana, Super Star, and lethal Spiny (Blue) Shell.
