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 from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' onward, the music in the race is affected when the player is hit by it. 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]]''.
