Fairy
- This article is about the item in the Mario Kart Arcade GP games. For the bottled fairy item in the Super Smash Bros. series, see Fairy Bottle. For a list of various fairies, see Category:Fairies.
The Fairy is one of Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man's special items in Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2.
The Fairy is a recovery item. Upon being used, it will remove all bad conditions from the user's kart, such as square tires, burst tires, or Thunder Cloud. In addition, the Fairy provides a shield for approximately half a second upon being used. With good timing, this can be used to block incoming items or be immune to the explosion of a Time Bomb.
In Mario Kart Arcade GP, a variant of the Fairy known as the Fairy+ can be unlocked. This variant greatly increases the duration of the shield the item provides.
Like the Petit Monster, the Fairy originates from the game Pac-Land. The Fairy also makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, on the stage based on Pac-Land. In addition, the Fairy appears during one of Pac-Man's victory animations in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
