Bullet Blaster

The Bullet Blaster is a kart from the Mario Kart series. It is shaped like a Banzai Bill with a large yellow rotor surrounding the exhaust pipe.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
The Bullet Blaster first appears in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! as Bowser Jr.'s unlockable kart. Like Diddy Kong's Barrel Train, the Bullet Blaster is one of the fastest lightweight karts in the game. It is also the lightest kart in the game, and can be knocked around by any other kart of any weight class. Another one of the kart's good stats is its acceleration, which is lower than the regular lightweight kart, but still better than a heavyweight. Its horn makes the sound of a noisemaker. The Bullet Blaster is unlocked by completing the Special Cup in 50cc.

In terms of its actual stats, while the Bullet Blaster does have a three star acceleration stat, it is one of the weaker accelerating karts, equalling the Red Fire, Turbo Birdo, and Parade Kart. Also, its top speed, with four stars, is tied with that of the Barrel Train, DK Jumbo, and Piranha Pipes. Lastly, although the Bullet Blaster is a lightweight kart, with a one-star weight, it is tied with the Koopa King for having the slowest off-road speed in the game.

The Bullet Blaster, Red Fire, and Green Fire share the same engine sound.

Mario Kart Tour
The Bullet Blaster returns in Mario Kart Tour, where it appears as a Normal kart. Its design has been updated to be more in line with the Banzai Bill's appearances post-New Super Mario Bros., but with the same yellow rotor as in Double Dash!!. The platform is absent, and the handlebar joints were moved to make room for the driver's emblem. It uses the Roller tires, being a mix of their appearances from Mario Kart 7 (black tire treads) and Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (yellow center), although footage of the Bowser's Shell item showed the kart with the Monster tires from Mario Kart 8 instead. The Bullet Blaster increases speed boosts and points resulted from successful Rocket Starts.

The game introduces a red variant of the Bullet Blaster, named the Bull's-Eye Banzai, which also has the Normal classification. It also introduces a silver variant, simply named the Silver Bullet Blaster, which is classified as a High-End kart.

The Bullet Blaster is normally available in regular pipes and the Daily Selects, but it has also been made available through other means. The following table shows instances of special availability for this kart by tour.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Bullet Blaster also appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a sticker. When used on a fighter in The Subspace Emissary, it increases their launch power by 50 points.

In the North American version of the game, the Bullet Bill trophy mistakenly gives the name "Bullet Blaster" for its special cannon. This is corrected to "Bill Blaster" in the PAL version.

Trivia

 * In Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in most game modes, the Goo-Goo Buggy is heavier than the Bullet Blaster and can easily push it around. However, in Battle Mode, the Goo-Goo Buggy's weight is tied with the Bullet Blaster.
 * The Bullet Bike and Road Jetter from Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart Arcade GP DX respectively are similar to the Bullet Blaster.
 * The Bullet Blaster's yellow rotor makes it resemble the Banzai Bills seen on Princess Peach's Castle in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
