You can hold items behind you in Mario Kart Wii and pick up a new one. In Mario Kart 8, they removed the ability to pick up a new item while holding an item (and im glad they did). This forces you to learn to be more skilled!

But removing having to items at once means that you'll be more defensive while being in the first places. Even when having a shell it is better to put it behind your vehicle to protect yourself then trying to get the one in front of you...
