Job 20:
New Item:
Magic Cape
I'm not sure if this is better off being it's own item or if I should make this the Feather with a brand new functionality. So if someone has an opinion on that let me know.
My idea for the item takes inspiration from two things: The Super Leaf item that was already in 7, and Mario's Cape special in Smash. Once you activate the item, the cape will appear behind the racer's kart for a short amount of time, and hitting the item button will cause the kart to do a spin in place with the cape. The hitbox caused by this spin does not stun opponents. Instead, any racer caught in range of your attack will flip into the air and land back on the track facing the opposite way. This does not mean you have to make a full turn to correct yourself. You will keep the same speed from when you were facing forward but now your controls will be inverted, forcing the player affected to display their backward-driving skills. After five seconds, the driver will fix their positioning and go back to normal. (If you know the Twister from Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, that's basically it.)
Don't get flipped in 200cc
The cape will also reflect items the opposite way from which they came from if correctly timed. Backwards spam? Return to sender. Red shell? Revoked. Spiny shell? Alright, not that far.
Returning item:
Pow Block
Generates shockwave for drivers ahead of the user, knocking away items. Can be "dodged" with good timing.
