The Landship is an unlockable kart body that first appears in Mario Kart 8. It is a small kart similar in appearance to the Airships from Super Mario Bros. 3, with cannons that move back and forth as if firing while the kart moves. The emblem is located on the cannon covers.

History

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

The Landship grants the player a large acceleration boost, and a slight handling boost, at the expense of speed, weight, and traction. It shares its stats with the Biddybuggy and Mr. Scooty. It changes color for all the Koopalings, with the back cabin and cannon covers matching their airships from New Super Mario Bros. U and the seat matching their shell colors. All the other characters have a similar color scheme to Bowser's airship from the New Super Mario Bros. games.

The Landship is one of the vehicle bodies that a CPU-controlled Bowser or Koopaling will occasionally use, combined with Wood tires. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU-controlled Bowser Jr. also occasionally pairs the Wood tires with the Landship, while Bowser now pairs the Landship with the Bowser Kite as well. While the Landship's ground speed, anti-gravity speed, and traction have improved, its air speed, acceleration, ground handling, air handling, anti-gravity handling, and mini-turbo are all weaker than before.

The Landship's engine sounds like a four-stroke while idling, but sounds like a two-stroke while accelerating. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it shares its engine sound with the Inkstriker.

Mario Kart Tour

The Landship returns in Mario Kart Tour. It uses the Slim tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It is a Normal-type kart with a longer Mini-Turbo boost. Unlike before, the Landship's cabin, cannon covers, and seat are always the default color, no matter which of the Koopalings is using it. Its cannons also do not move. The game also introduces a purple ghost ship variant, named the Warship, which also has the Normal classification.

Trivia

• Before Mario Kart 8 was updated to Ver. 2.0, the Landship's vehicle customization icon always showed the color scheme used by the non-Koopaling characters, even when used by a Koopaling.
