The Carpet Flyer is a kart that appears in Mario Kart World. As its name implies, the kart resembles a purple carpet with colorful patterns based on various items, enemies and other symbols. The seat has a pink pillow, the steering wheel is golden, and the tires are bronze, with the front tires smaller than the back tires. The exhaust pipes are the tail of golden snakes (modeled after Hisstocrat's minions) which line the whole kart. The eyes of the snakes serve as the headlights. The emblem is located on the golden fringe at the front of the kart.
In terms of stats, the Carpet Flyer has above-average speed, average acceleration and weight, and mediocre handling. It shares its stats with the Ribbit Revster and Cloud 9.
This kart is randomly used by the CPU-controlled Daisy, Shy Guy, Pokey, Mario (Dune Rider), Luigi (Oasis), Daisy (Oasis), and Wario (Oasis).
