The Lightning Bolt's primary effect comes from the [[mariowiki:Mario Kart series|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Racers at the back of a race have a chance of acquiring a Lightning Bolt (sometimes named Thunderbolt), which upon use instantly strikes all other racers, spins them out, and causes them to shrink. Shrunk racers have lowered top speed and may be easily knocked around or even flattened when run over. Beginning in ''Mario Kart DS'', the length of the shrink time depends on what place each opponent was in when the item was used, with those at the back regrowing near-instantly and those are the front staying shrunk for much longer. The item cannot backfire as it does in ''Brawl''. | The Lightning Bolt's primary effect comes from the [[mariowiki:Mario Kart series|''Mario Kart'' series]].

If a character uses the Lightning Bolt on {{SSBB|Zelda}} or {{SSBB|Sheik}} and either character [[Transform]]s, this glitch makes the size of the Lightning Bolt user permanent until either Zelda or Sheik gets [[KO]]'d or picks up another size-changing item. | If a character uses the Lightning Bolt on {{SSBB|Zelda}} or {{SSBB|Sheik}} and either character [[Transform]]s, this glitch makes the size of the Lightning Bolt user permanent until either Zelda or Sheik gets [[KO]]'d or picks up another size-changing item. |
