This video shows all item box unused "special" item types. In other words, the unused SPECIAL slots from /Race/Common.szs/ItemSlot.bin

Normally these special types are used in places such as competitions or some boxes in Chain Chomp Wheel, in order to give you specific items from the item box no matter your current position. Settings 1 and 2 from the itembox objects correspond to the special item type to grant to the human players and CPUs, respectively.

Three item types go unused, as no item box uses them in the regular game, nor in competitions. These are:
0006 - Banana (50%) or Mushroom (50%) (0:00)
0009 - Red Shell (0:20)
0006 - Thunder Cloud (Mushroom if another Thunder Cloud is in play) (0:32)
000D, 000E, 000F, 0010 - These are empty (i.e. all item probabilities are set to 0). In practice, it grants a Mushroom, even though the roulette shows a single Green Shell (1:01)
