The Prancer is a kart in the Mario Kart series. It is a pumpkin-shaped vehicle with two mechanical white horses located at the front that move up and down while the kart is in motion, referencing the pumpkin coach from Cinderella. The emblem is located on the sides of the kart.

History[edit]

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

The Prancer debuts in Mario Kart 8 as an unlockable kart body. It grants drivers no change to the stats of the vehicle, similar to the Standard Kart, the Cat Cruiser, the Sneeker, The Duke, the Teddy Buggy and the 300 SL Roadster.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the vehicle's stats have been altered, and it now shares its stats with the Sport Bike and the Jet Bike. CPU Peach and Cat Peach can be occasionally seen riding this kart body paired with Wood tires.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The Prancer reappears in Mario Kart Tour as a High-End kart first available in the Flower Tour. It is the signature kart of Daisy (Fairy). It is equipped with the Wood tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Unlike before, the horses at the front of the kart no longer move. The Prancer increases the duration of Slipstream boosts and the amount of points earned for performing Slipstreams.

It is one of only five High-End spotlight karts in Mario Kart Tour that were neither a new variation of a past kart nor a new kart all together, with the others being the Offroader, the Cat Cruiser, the B Dasher Mk. 2, and the Tanooki Kart. It also has a white-and-purple variant called the Gilded Prancer, which debuted in the Ice Tour as a High-End kart; and a Christmas-themed variant called the Sleigh Rider, which debuted in the 2021 Holiday Tour as a High-End kart. The former makes the Prancer one of the few karts that were introduced after variants of them were; the others being the Red Kiddie Kart and the Cucumber, which debuted after the Green Kiddie Kart and the Dasher II, respectively.

Starting in the Battle Tour, the Prancer appears in pipes and has become a part of the Daily Selects lineup. The following table shows the kart's special availability by tour.
