A '''Fake Item Box''' is an [[item]] found in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. They resemble regular [[Item Box]]es, but they do not bestow items to karts that pass through them-instead, the kart will crash. Fake Item Boxes are generally obtained by racers near the front of the race, being used as traps similarly to [[Banana]]s; however, Fake Item Boxes usually cannot block incoming [[Red Shell]]s, a trade-off for their better disguise. | A '''Fake Item Box''' is an [[item]] found in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series.

Fake Item Boxes appear in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]''. They look exactly like regular item boxes, except they have a ¿ symbol rather than a ? symbol. This makes them similar to the ''Mario Kart 64'' appearance. | |||

The Fake Item Boxes return to their ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'' look in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', with a style change to match the new style of the real ones. While they still have a ¿ sign inside, they can hide their red colour at a distance - only on approaching do they turn red. Fake Item Boxes become blue instead if they belong to the blue team in team play. If a player hits a Fake Item Box that belongs to their team, it will vanish without causing any damage. Much like in ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'', Fake Item Boxes can be destroyed only by colliding into them. | The Fake Item Boxes return to their ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'' look in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', with a style change to match the new style of the real ones.
