The Cat Cruiser is an unlockable kart body that appears in Mario Kart 8. It is a pink body, resembling somewhat of a Volkswagen New Beetle, with cat motifs such as whiskers, a tail, and ears (embedded on the windshield). Its stats are identical to the Standard Kart, The Duke, Teddy Buggy, Prancer, Sneeker and the 300 SL Roadster, which means it grants drivers no advantages or disadvantages.
In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Cat Peach and Toadette occasionally use this kart body paired with the Retro Off-Road tires, while Daisy uses it with the Standard tires instead. Its stats also got changed so that it now offers acceleration and handling in exchange of speed. It shares stats with the Comet, Yoshi Bike and Teddy Buggy.
When underwater, the propeller on the Cat Cruiser will be located at the end of the tail, rather than the usual location on or just below the back of the cart.
