The CBBC Fruit in CBBC Nitro
CBBC Fruit are coins that the player can pick up in CBBC Nitro. If the player gains enough CBBC Card and regular Fruit, they can unlock prizes to save on their At The Slot Machine (e.g. new special karts, karts colors special items). Upon collecting 4000 CBBC Fruit, players will unlock the ability to change to a first-person perspective akin to that of CBBC Kart 5. This is done by pressing the VS Cancel button during a race.
Item Boxes[]
The new, multi-colored, hexagonal item boxes.
CBBC Nitro does not feature the normal cube item boxes seen in previous games; it comes with multi-colored, hexagonal item boxes. They have a white question mark while Jack-in-the-boxes (fake Item Boxes) have a white, upside-down question mark. When taken, they instantly regenerate, unlike the other CBBC Kart games, in which they take a while.
Basic Items[]
Unlike in the typical CBBC Kart games, items are grouped into these categories: locking-on, passing the item, dropping backward, and shooting forward. Locking-on item involves a moving cursor that stops if it goes over an opponent. If the cursor is locked-in for enough time, the cursor flashes red and the thrown item locks into the player, similar to a Red Shell. Passing items require the item to be thrown, much as a locking-on item. Afflicted players need to collide with other players to evade the hindering effects. Items that drop backward and items that shoot forward act similarly to items in the traditional CBBC Kart games.
Items are shown before a race starts.
Unlike in most CBBC Kart games, these items can be thrown in only one direction. Also unlike most CBBC Kart games, only certain items appear during a race. Three of them are shown before the race starts. Most of these items have a temporary after-effect that can hinder the affected driver.
