The Bruiser (known as the Growlster in the British English version) is a kart from the Mario Kart series. It resembles both a vintage roadster and a Delahaye with a grille resembling fangs, headlights that resemble angry eyes, and spikes on the front fenders. Four exhaust pipes come out of the rear, similar to the Zucchini. The emblem is located on the hood (and underneath the exhaust pipes in Mario Kart Tour).

History[edit]

Mario Kart series[edit]

Mario Kart 7[edit]

The Bruiser first appears in Mario Kart 7 as an unlockable kart body part. It offers a speed and weight boost, while its acceleration and handling are hindered. The Bruiser is tied with the B Dasher, Blue Seven, and Zucchini for having the highest speed of any kart body, but it is also tied with the Bumble V and Barrel Train for having the lowest handling of all kart bodies. It has the same engine noise as the B Dasher, albeit lower-pitched, which sounds like a Formula E car at low speed when accelerating to max speed.

CPU Shy Guy has a preference for this body.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The Bruiser was added in Mario Kart Tour at the start of the 2019 Holiday Tour. It is classified as a High-End kart and uses the Slim tires from Mario Kart 7. The Bruiser increases the duration of Jump Boost speed boosts and the number of points earned for performing Jump Boosts.

The game introduces a blue and pink striped variant named the Glam Bruiser, a tiger-themed variant called the Tiger Bruiser, a white variant called the White Bruiser, and a gold variant called the Gold Bruiser. All four variants are also classified as High-End karts.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]

The Bruiser, driven by Wario and equipped with the Beast Glider, appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as an unlockable trophy.

  • Mario Kart Tour Twitter: You're cruisin' for a bruisin' when you go head-to-head with the Bruiser kart! With its glaring eyes and bared fangs, this is one tough kart you don't want to face down! When this bad boy rolls up behind you, maybe consider letting it pass by...[1]

For most racers the finish line is the goal, but if you combine Wario with this bad boy, the game takes on a whole new meaning. And that meaning is to crash into everyone else. Behind the wheel of the Bruiser, Wario turns Mario Kart into a contact sport. (American English)
Even in a race for first place, it's possible to sort of ignore the whole winning thing and just focus on bashing into the other racers instead. Wario's that kind of guy, so obviously he'd choose a frame like the Growlster and use it to ram other drivers off the road. It's like he thinks Mario Kart is a combat sport or something! (British English)
