Remote-Controlled Clown Car
The title of this article is from the English Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia, which reportedly sourced some names from fan wikis.
If a higher-priority source is found, then the article should be moved to the new title.

A Remote-Controlled Clown Car[1] is a type of Koopa Clown Car that Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad can use in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. This vehicle is used only during Bowser Jr.'s boss battle in World 6-
Airship. A Remote-Controlled Clown Car resembles a usual Clown Car, except it has a question mark symbol instead of a clown face. If a character hops into one, its symbol changes to either Mario's red "M," Luigi's green "L," or a yellow or blue mushroom for Yellow Toad and Blue Toad, respectively. While riding a Remote-Controlled Clown Car, players have full vertical and horizontal movement on the screen, and can shake their Wii Remote to use the same spin attack as Bowser Jr.'s Junior Clown Car. This attack does not damage Bowser Jr., but can knock him back, potentially into electric rails.
In Mario Party 9, two minigames have players use vehicles very similar to Remote-Controlled Clown Cars. In Bumper Sparks, the vehicles are used to bump into Bowser Jr. to try to get him to hit the electric barrier, like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In Pair of Aces, they are equipped with cannons.
