The Daytripper, known as the Royal Racer in British English, is a kart from the Mario Kart series. The vehicle resembles an old-fashioned and decorated horse-drawn coach, with its rear tires larger than the front. The emblem is located on the sides and back of the kart. Its American English name is a reference to the Beatles' song "Day Tripper", and its Spanish name references the lyrics "She was a daytripper, Sunday driver yeah".

History[edit]

Mario Kart series[edit]

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

The Daytripper first appears in Mario Kart Wii as a medium-sized Handling-type kart. It can be unlocked by winning the 150cc Leaf Cup or by playing 2,700 races. The kart features great handling along with decent weight, acceleration, off-road, and Mini-Turbo. However, its speed and drifting are below average. It shares the same weight as the Standard Kart M, the same acceleration as the Standard Bike S and the Wario Bike, and the same off-road as the Quacker. However, it is the slowest medium kart in the game and its drifting is the same as the Magikruiser, while its speed and mini-turbo are tied with the Cheep Charger. Its bike counterpart is the Sugarscoot, while its small and large counterparts are the Booster Seat and Offroader respectively. This and the Sugarscoot are the only medium vehicles with a speed stat of less than thirty-five. Its stat total is 323 stat points. It will be able to drift on normal off-road terrain if Yoshi, Birdo, Bowser Jr. or a Mii drives it.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The Daytripper returns in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a Super kart. It uses the Wood tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, although footage of the Yoshi's Egg item from the official Mario Kart Tour Twitter account shows it with the Slick tires from the aforementioned games instead.[1] Unlike in Mario Kart Wii, it only has Peach's color scheme no matter what driver is using it, and the lights at the front are no longer shaped like flowers. The Daytripper increases the duration of Dash Panel boosts and the amount of points earned for using Dash Panels.

The Daytripper also has two variants: a red, white, and pink variant of this kart called the Sweet Daytripper, introduced in the Peach Tour, and a black and gold variant called the Head Honcho, introduced in the Summer Festival Tour. Both variants are classified as High-End karts.

The Daytripper is a regular item in pipes and the shop's Daily Selects set. It has been obtainable through other means as well; below are instances of special availability for the kart listed by tour.

You may think it doesn't look like a racer. You may think it would look more at home on a carousel. But Peach will have the last laugh as she sails past the finish line, leaving you in the dust. The Daytripper's great handling lets it breeze through even the trickiest of courses—and what it lacks in speed, it makes up for in acceleration. (American English)
