The Smokescreen is an item which first appears in Mario Kart Arcade GP and returns in both Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 and Mario Kart Arcade GP DX.
Description
If a character uses Smokescreen, they throw it backward as the item begins to produce smoke around the lane of the course. If a character gets in this smoke, their view is blocked temporarily.
