The Mouse Cracker is an item which first appears in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 before later reappearing in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX.
Description[]
The Mouse Cracker is an explosive designed in the likeness of a light-blue mouse. When a character uses a Mouse Cracker, it drops behind their kart, then the Mouse Cracker begins to run around on the track in circles. If a racer touches the Mouse Cracker while it runs around, the Mouse Cracker explodes, sending the racer up into the air.
