| Appears in | Mario Kart World |
The Mecha Trike is a trike[Japanese] that appears in Mario Kart World. It is a trike that features elements characteristic to Mechakoopas, colored green, featuring a spiked ring around the body, a large headlight at the front and a yellow wind-up key on the rear which spins. It has three sets of two-wheeled axles; two on the front and one on the rear of the trike, in a similar manner to a plane's landing gear. The emblem appears on the right side of the trike.
This trike is randomly used by the CPU-controlled Bowser, Bowser Jr., Hammer Bro, Monty Mole, Spike, Dry Bones, Bowser (Supercharged), Bowser Jr. (Biker Jr.), and Wario (Road Ruffian). Additionally, it is always driven by Bowser Jr. in his appearance as the main rival in the Lightning Cup.
