In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, it is the signature kart of Wario and can fit two people. The Wario Car is a heavyweight kart, meaning it is tough and speedy. However, in comparison with the other heavyweight karts, the Wario Car is rather light; its weight is tied with the Turbo Birdo and the Parade Kart. In terms of its actual stats, the Wario Car's top speed is only tied with the Green Fire and Parade Kart, despite of its four-star speed stat. It also shares the same acceleration as the Green Fire and Barrel Train. The Wario Car does not have a windshield like in Wario Land 4. It is also the only heavyweight kart in the game that does not return in Mario Kart Tour.
The manual mentions that the Wario Car's top speed was 450 km/h (280 mph). However, for the Mario Kart Grand Prix, its engine had been turned down.
Mario Kart DS[edit]
In Mario Kart DS, Wario has a new vehicle named the Brute. The appearance of this new kart resembles the Wario Car. However, it is black instead of purple, has a white checkered pattern in front as opposed to Wario's trademark mustache, and has regular black-wall tires instead of white-wall tires.
Mario Kart Arcade GP subseries[edit]
In Mario Kart Arcade GP, the Wario Car makes an appearance as one of Wario's special items. It is functionally identical to the Star, but it also grants the cosmetic change of turning Wario's kart into the Wario Car temporarily. The Wario Car reverts back to a standard kart after the item's effects wear off. A variant of the item known as the Wario Car+ exists. This variant extends the duration of the invincibility.
In Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, Wario receives a special kart, which is the Wario Car. It has very high top speed and high weight, but abysmal acceleration. The aforementioned Wario Car item has been removed, as all characters now use the Star as their invincibility item.
Other appearances[edit]
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Wario Car is featured on a sticker that raises launch power by 47. It can only be used by Wario during The Subspace Emissary.
