Egg

The Egg is an item that appears in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Super Mario Kart.'' It behaves similarly to Shells.

Birdo Egg
Birdo Eggs are special items used by Birdo in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It acts similar to a Red Shell when thrown. When it collides with an opponent or an item, three items will pop out at random, they could include Mushrooms, Red or Green Shells, Fake Item Boxes, Bob-ombs, Bananas, or a Star.

Yoshi Egg
Yoshi Eggs are special items used by Yoshi in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. They function identically to the Birdo Egg. King Boo and Petey Piranha can use this item as well, but they receive only the Yoshi Egg. These Eggs home on rival karts, much like a Red Shell. Unlike the Red Shell, though, Eggs stay on the track if there are no karts to home on. When an Egg hits an object, it breaks and lets out three items on the track. Eggs contain these items: Mushrooms, Stars, Bananas, Green Shells, Fake Item Boxes, or Bob-ombs. They break by themselves eventually if they do not hit any kart, but they still release 3 items.

Super Mario Kart
Yoshi Eggs are used by Yoshi in Super Mario Kart if he is CPU-controlled.
