History
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
The Waluigi Racer is Waluigi's signature kart in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It is a middleweight kart unlocked by completing the Flower Cup in 100cc.
According to the game, the Waluigi Racer shares the same stats as the Red Fire, but it is actually slightly heavier than most other middleweight karts, being just as heavy as the Turbo Yoshi.
In terms of its actual stats, while the Waluigi Racer's top speed is tied with that of the Red Fire, it shares the same acceleration as the Bloom Coach. Interestingly, when compared to all the other middleweight karts, the Waluigi Racer loses the least amount of speed whenever it goes off-road.
The Waluigi Racer is also wider than other karts in its class, making it more vulnerable to oncoming items or ones lying about. Likewise, the Waluigi Racer is quite bouncy while making jumps, which can greatly affect its speed on adverse terrain more than the other karts.
Mario Kart Tour
The Waluigi Racer returns in Mario Kart Tour starting from the 2023 Mario vs. Luigi Tour. Both handlebars of the kart have been removed and it gains yellow stripes. It uses black and purple versions of the Tuk-Tuk Kart's tires.
