He looks over at the screen and nods “Yeah, it is. So this has 3 functions. One, it stops every other player, pretty much as if you hit them with any other item. Secondly, they slow down, and the higher place they are, the longer they do, for example, someone on last place will return to normal size and speed much faster than the guy in first place. Last effect - it destroys everyone’s pickups.”
“Ooh, nice.“ she smiles as she waits with using it for a bit. But eventually, she decides she’s behind far enough and can’t really wait any longer, so she fires the lightningbolt.
A sound of lightning is heard, with a bolt hitting Pewny’s kart. It is around half smaller in size, together with the driver, smokes while it drives and the music is distorted to sound somewhat whacky. His item is destroyed.
“Wow! You actually get smaller?“ Kate asks as she keeps driving, finally able to see Pewny’s kart in front of her as she starts catching up. “That’s pretty cool. Hey, are there any levels where there are places you can only get when you’re that small?“
He shakes his head “No that I know of. There is a few ramps and boosts on the stages that require you to have a mushroom, as boosting through off-road areas with it doesn’t slow you down. But nothing for being smaller”
“Huh… Too bad, that would have been cool.“ Kate replies as she suddenly drives past Pewny, taking first place “Some secret areas or shortcuts like that would have been really nice.“
“Yeah, they would, but what can ya do” He smiles, riding right behind Kate as his kart returns to normal size
