POW Block

The POW Block is a new addition to the Mario Kart series. When activated, it takes about 1-2 seconds to finally make an instant earthquake, making you spin-out and lose your items UNLESS you flick up on the Wii Wheel or up on the d-pad on a gamecube/classic controller (being with a bike OR a kart) right before the POW block activates. Then you will keep your speed but still lose an item. You know when you have done it correctly when there are blue rings under you when achieved.
