Games

Mario Kart series

Mario Kart 64

If you hit a lightweight and you are a heavyweight, you're going to knock that player out. If two lightweight competitors hit each other, they'll both be squashed. If they hit a Thwomp, they'll be squashed.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

If you've been disposed of, such as falling off a cliff, or have been hit by an item, the thunderbolt won't affect you. So if you see another competitor with a thunderbolt you'd better dispose of yourself very quickly.

Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii

The lower your rank is at point of contact the faster your recovery. For example, a competitor in last place recovers considerably faster than someone whose first. The background music also speeds up and raises its pitch. In Mario Kart Wii especially, it may make the player's sense of tolerance fail as it's about as high-pitched as chipmunks. Also in Mario Kart Wii, if the player is using a Mega Mushroom, he is returned to normal size. So if players hit each othr whilst on such substances, they must use this item to hit him right back.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

When touched, it causes either one of two things may happen; It may make players shrink, or it may make players grow.
