A Thunder Cloud is an item from the Mario Kart series. It first appears in Mario Kart Arcade GP and later appears in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 and Mario Kart Wii.

When a racer receives the item, a Thunder Cloud appears above their head. After a short amount of time, lightning will strike down from the cloud. This can either do one of two things: it can zap the player sporadically with charges, but if done for too long, the racer shrinks in the process, essentially causing the Thunder Cloud to act the same as the Lightning item. A racer can pass a Thunder Cloud on to a different racer by bumping into them.

The Thunder Cloud disappear if the player goes through a cannon, such as those in DK Mountain, DK Summit, Rainbow Road, or Maple Treeway.
