Cat Cruiser

The Cat Cruiser is an kart from the Mario Kart series. It is a pink vehicle resembling somewhat of a Volkswagen New Beetle, with cat motifs such as whiskers, a tail, ears embedded on the windshield, and a paw-shaped seat. The emblem is located on the sides of the kart. When the kart is underwater, the propeller will be located at the end of the tail, rather than the usual location on or just below the back of the kart.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
The Cat Cruiser makes its first appearance in Mario Kart 8 as an unlockable kart body. 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.

This vehicle is based on Princess Peach's cat form in Super Mario 3D World. Cat Peach also appears in The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8, making this her signature kart. In fact, a CPU-controlled Cat Peach will occasionally use this kart body paired with the Standard tires.

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.

Mario Kart Tour
The Cat Cruiser appears again in Mario Kart Tour as a High-End kart. Introduced in the Cat Tour, it is the signature kart of Cat Peach. The kart uses pink-rimmed versions of the Standard tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It raises the duration of Mini-Turbo speed boosts and the number of points earned for performing them.

The Cat Cruiser has only been available in certain pipes and is not currently a part of the Daily Selects set. The following table comprises this kart's availability by tour.
