In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series, '''buses''' (or '''tourist buses'''<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/software/feature/magazine_2023summer/index_en.html?page=22 Nintendo Magazine 2023 Summer (Digital English edition)].

They typically travel at a constant speed along with the rest of the traffic. They always follow a set path; when traveling along a multi-lane road with other traffic, they will typically drive in the middle of their respective lanes and use turn signals if switching lanes, making their behavior very predictable. If the player hits a moving bus, they will usually flip over. They cannot be destroyed or removed, but they can usually be launched into the air by driving into them while using a [[Super Star]], [[Bullet Bill]], or [[Chain Chomp]], or by hitting them with a [[Super Horn]], [[Super Bell]], [[Giga Bob-omb]], [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], or [[Bowser's Shell|Bowser Shell]]. Moving buses may also honk their horns if they hit an item or the player.

A '''Bus''' is an obstacle that frequently appears in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Buses appear in stages set on roads, such as [[Mushroom Bridge]], and will drive around the stage with the other traffic. If the player gets hit by a bus, it will have the same effect as driving into a [[Banana#Mario Kart series|Banana]], causing the player to spin out. Buses can not be destroyed or removed, but can be launched into the air by hitting them while using a [[Super Star]], [[Bullet Bill]] or [[Chain Chomp]], or by throwing a [[Bowser Shell]] at them. The buses may also honk their horns at the player after hitting them or being hit by an item.

===''Mario Kart 64''===
Moving buses first appear in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', exclusive to [[N64 Toad's Turnpike|Toad's Turnpike]]. The buses on this course are yellow with red window frames and blue interior curtains. They are driven by [[Ukiki|Ukkiki]]s.<ref>「ハイウェイバスの運転手（シルエット）は、『スーパーマリオ64』のウッキーです。」("''The highway bus driver (silhouette) is a Ukiki from Super Mario 64.''") - [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nmkj/index2.html Official ''Mario Kart 64'' Japanese website]</ref> In this game, they have the same engine sound as [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[kart]]. If a player hits a bus, they will not lose their item. In this game only, buses will haphazardly drive between lanes and cannot be launched or otherwise moved by any means.
Buses first appeared in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', where they only appear on [[Toad's Turnpike]]. The buses on this course are mainly yellow, with red and blue details on the sides, and a white and grey [[Nintendo]] logo on the back. In this game, they have the same engine sound as [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Kart]].

[[File:MKDD-PeachBeachBus.png|thumb|200px|left|A Peach Beach Bus and Star Travel Bus from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'']]
Buses also appear in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', on [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]]. Both courses can feature two different designs on the buses, as well as a similar vehicle, the [[Wiggler Wagon]]. One of the buses is blue and features [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!#Star Travel|Star Travel]] logos on the back and sides, and also has the company's name on the front of the bus. The number plate features the letters "STR". The other bus is deep maroon and pale pink, includes [[Peach Beach]] logos in the place of the Star Travel ones, and its number plate instead reads "SUN". If a bus is lifted into the air, it stops moving, whereas in future games, the bus continues to move even in the air. In this game only, if a player hits a bus, they will spin out and not lose their item.


In [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]], at the beginning of each race, a Star Travel bus (Peach Beach bus in Versus mode with no items) is seen driving past the racers on the left lane. This is not seen with any other actual vehicles (not counting [[Bob-omb Car]]s) in the game.
Buses return in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash]]'', where they appear in two courses, [[Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]]. This game features two different designs on the buses, as well as a similar vehicle, the [[Wiggler Wagon]]. One of the buses is blue and features [[List of sponsors in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!#Star Travel|Star Travel]] logos on the back and sides, and also has the company's name on the front of the bus. The number plate features the letters "STR". The other bus is deep maroon and pale pink, includes [[Peach Beach]] logos in the place of the Star Travel ones, and its number plate instead reads "SUN". In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', if the bus is lifted it will stop moving in the air whereas in future games the bus will still move in the air if lifted.


===''Mario Kart DS''===
===''Mario Kart DS''===
Buses also appear in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', on [[DS Shroom Ridge|Shroom Ridge]], and the returning retro course {{classic|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}}. The bus resembles a standard blue city bus with red and yellow zig-zags along the sides. The doors on the bus are on the left-hand side mainly because on Shroom Ridge traffic drives on the left. These new buses replace the old ones from the original Mushroom Bridge. Just like the cars and trucks, if a player hits them, they will lose their item. In [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]], at the beginning of every race, the bus is seen driving past the racers on the left lane.
Buses appear again in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', where they appear in [[Shroom Ridge]] and the returning retro course <small>GCN</small> Mushroom Bridge. The buses in this game are blue and have red, orange and yellow zig zags along the sides. These buses replace the originals in Mushroom Bridge, and is the only bus that appears on the course.

===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
Although no new tracks in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' use buses, they return in the retro track <small>N64</small> Toad's Turnpike. However, much like the rest of the course, they have been redesigned. The buses all now represent one of the game's sponsors, and the bus is themed around that sponsor. Most of the buses are for the airlines within the game, [[List of recurring sponsors in the Mario Kart series#Galaxy Air|Galaxy Air]], [[List of recurring sponsors in the Mario Kart series#Boomerang Bros. International Airlines|Boomerang Bros. International Airlines]], [[List of sponsors in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Paratroopa Airlines|Paratroopa Airlines]], as well as [[List of sponsors in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Toad City Sightseeing|Toad City Sightseeing]], a sponsor which only appears on these buses.
[[File:MK8 Toad City Sightseeing Bus Model.png|thumb|250px|A Toad City Sightseeing bus from ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']]
Buses also appear on the retro tracks {{classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as well as {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Berlin Byways}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The buses on <small>N64</small> Toad's Turnpike can display different sponsors at random, namely [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Galaxy Air|Galaxy Air]], [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Boomerang Bros. International Airlines|Boomerang Bros. International Airlines]], [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Paratroopa Airlines|Paratroopa Airlines]], as well as a [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Toad City Sightseeing|Toad City Sightseeing]], a sponsor which only appears on these buses. Buses on the other aforementioned courses always display Galaxy Air designs. If a player hits a bus, they will not lose their item, and if they were not driving fast enough they will not flip out either. On <small>N64</small> Toad's Turnpike only, some buses also include ramps on the roof which can be accessed after using a [[dash panel ramp truck]]. The buses in this game resemble coach buses rather then city buses in the previous game.  


Additionally, the first stationary bus appears on {{classic-link|Tour|New York Minute}}. It uses a Toad City Sightseeing design and has a simple ramp on top. As with other stationary buses, it cannot be launched by any means and merely acts as a wall. Stationary {{wp|AEC Routemaster}} {{wp|double-decker bus}}es also appear on {{classic-link|Tour|London Loop}}. Several courses also feature stationary buses which are outside the track and thus of no consequence to the player.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
Moving buses also appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' on [[GCN Mushroom Bridge]]. In this game, instead of making racers flip over, moving buses simply slow them down as a wall would; they are otherwise similar to those of previous ''Mario Kart'' games. When taken out by a player, they give "Bus" bonus points. [[Wiggler Wagon]]s also appear on [[GCN Mushroom Bridge]] and its T variant. Like with the moving buses, Wiggler Wagons merely slow down racers as walls would, though they can always be bounced on to perform a [[Jump Boost|trick]] if the player lands on top of them. When taken out by a player, they give "Wiggler Wagon" bonus points.
Stationary buses also appear on [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|GCN Mushroom Bridge R and R/T]], [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute 3R/T]], and [[Tour Bangkok Rush|Bangkok Rush]] and its R variant. Stationary {{wp|AEC Routemaster}} {{wp|double-decker bus}}es also appear on [[Tour London Loop|London Loop T and R/T]], and London Loop 2R, 2T, and 2R/T. Numerous other courses and course variants feature stationary buses outside the track.
