What Are These 2 New Items In Mario Kart 8 and What Do They Do?

If I had to guess, the speaker disables controls for all players to some extent. Maybe just makes the steering wonky. Maybe makes everyone decelerate. Hard to say.

The 8 seems likely to be the same thing as the 7 from MK7, which brought out seven items. Only now it'll include the speaker....so eight items.
