The Blastronaut III is a kart that appears in Mario Kart World. The kart's name is a pun on "blast" and "astronaut", and references a rocket's ability to blast off, which the kart is based off of. It sports a three-wheeled design, an orange nosetip, fins, and exhaust pipes, metal wheel guards for the rear tires, and a blue seat. The emblem is located underneath the kart. It is the only vehicle in the game to utilize unique glide wings, as the fins on the side extend outwards to become the wings instead of the wings being connected to the bottom of the vehicle.
In terms of stats, the Blastronaut III has good acceleration, as well as average speed and weight, but it has low handling.
This kart is randomly used by the CPU-controlled Pauline, Mario (Aviator), Donkey Kong (All-Terrain), Toad (Engineer), and Toadette (Conductor).
