Kamek is an item debuting in Mario Kart World. It appears as a purple crystal ball with spell symbols swirling inside it, as well as a golden base designed after Kamek's face.

When used, it summons Kamek, who flies forward over the track, summoning many of a certain type of enemy ahead of all the racers in front of the player who used it, as well as turning them into that enemy temporarily. Kamek can also merely transform racers into multiples of a non-enemy character, including Pianta and Nabbit., or only perform a summon of an enemy, like Rolling Chain Chomps. If a transformation goes into effect for the first time, an unlock pop-up notice appears, much like with costumes unlocked via Dash Food.

Notes

• Despite previously being depicted as a single character, Nabbit appears as a transformation that can impact multiple racers simultaneously. It is unknown if this means Nabbit will be treated as a species going forward.
