History[]

Dry Bones Kart series[]

In the Dry Bones Kart series, Lightning is an extremely powerful item that racers usually receive when they are in (or near) last place in a race. When used, Lightning will temporarily shrink all the other racers, making them slower and weaker, in addition to making them spin out and drop their items. It also temporarily makes the racers' voices high-pitched and sped up until being back to normal or getting squashed. It is also the emblem for the Lightning Cup.

Since Dry Bones Kart 64, when Lightning is used, a sound like that of a tiny alarm is heard during its effect. In Super Dry Bones Kart that sound is only heard when the Lightning is launched. If a racer has a Mega Mushroom, Starman, Boo, or Bullet Bill item activated when the bolt strikes, or if they are flying through the air after being shot out of a cannon.
