In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Lightning is a very powerful item that racers usually receive when they are in (or near) last place in a race. When used, Lightning will temporarily shrink all the other racers, making them slower and weaker, in addition to making them spin out and drop their items. It also temporarily makes the racers' voices high-pitched and sped up (with the exception of | In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Lightning is a very powerful item that racers usually receive when they are in (or near) last place in a race. When used, Lightning will temporarily shrink all the other racers, making them slower and weaker, in addition to making them spin out and drop their items. It also temporarily makes the racers' voices high-pitched and sped up (with the exception of [[Mario Kart 7]]) until being back to normal or getting squashed. It is also the emblem for the [[Lightning Cup]]. | ||
In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', when Lightning is used, a sound like that of a tiny alarm is heard during its effect. In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' that sound is only heard when the Lightning is launched, and in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' onwards, the music in the race is affected when the player is hit by it. In ''Mario Kart 7'', the extra beat that plays in 1st place goes out of sync with the music for a few seconds after the attack. Lightning's effect can be avoided if a racer has a [[Mega Mushroom]], [[Super Star|Star]], [[Boo]], or [[Bullet Bill]] item activated when the bolt strikes, or if they are flying through the air after being shot out of a cannon in all games prior to ''Mario Kart 7'' or are frozen by an [[Ice Flower]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. | In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', when Lightning is used, a sound like that of a tiny alarm is heard during its effect.

In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', as in ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart Wii'', the effect of being shocked by Lightning will be determined on the level rank the racer is in, from last place having decreased time and first place being shrunk for longer. As before, the music of track will be altered, and even if hit by another item, the racer will still be shrunk. Any racers that are shrunk will also be squished if run over by normal sized racers, an effect returning from ''Super Mario Kart'', ''Mario Kart 64'', and ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''. Unlike in prior games, when a driver is shot out of a cannon, the shrinking effect will still happen and the driver will fall | In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', as in ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart Wii'', the effect of being shocked by Lightning will be determined on the level rank the racer is in, from last place having decreased time and first place being shrunk for longer.

Unlike in prior games, when a driver is shot out of a cannon, the shrinking effect will still happen and the driver will fall while gliding in midair. Additionally, up to three racers can hold a Lightning Bolt at a time, potentially unleashing two or three lightning attacks at once. This item can be obtained if the racer is in 7th place or lower, with CPUs only being able to obtain it in 8th place. | ||
