The '''Fake Item Box''' | The '''Fake Item Box''' is an item introduced in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', where it is known as simply the '''Fake Item'''.<ref>{{cite|title=''Mario Kart 64'' instruction booklet|page=13|date=1997|language=en|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en|date=2003|title=''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' instruction booklet|page=17|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> Fake Item Boxes are hazards that flip vehicles over when driven into, though they imitate the appearance of an [[Item Box]], potentially tricking racers into driving into them. Fake Item Boxes are generally obtained by racers near the front of the race, and can be held behind a [[kart]], though they cannot block incoming [[Green Shell]]s or [[Red Shell]]s. | ||

Fake Items are items in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' They retain their ¿ symbol and are now colored red, making them easier to distinguish from real Item Boxes. However, the color is slightly obscured when viewed from a distance; they will only appear solid red as the player approaches. Racers hit by a Fake Item will emit red electricity while tumbling. They can be destroyed by running into them with a [[Super Star]] or picked up with [[Heart (item)|Hearts]], while other obstacles pass through them, including all shells, eggs, [[Fireball]]s, and [[Chain Chomp]]s. Fake Items can no longer block shells and are now affected by gravity, but can now be tossed forward. | Fake Items are items in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''.
