Remote-Controlled Clown Car

The Mario Car (or Hero Car) is an item that is available for use in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and is the first and only Koopa Clown Car that is usable by the player. The Mario Car is a very small (just a little smaller than Bowser Jr.'s) type of a Koopa Clown Car that Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow toad get to use. This item is only used in World 6-Ship, and, even then, it is only used to fight Bowser Jr.. The Mario Car highly resembles a usual Clown Car, except that it either has an M, L, or a Blue or Yellow Mushroom logo on it depending on the player. The only known attack as of now that the Mario Car can use is a spin attack similar to that of an airborne Spin Jump and crash into Bowser Jr. by trying to shove him into the electricity. The player must shake the Wii remote in order to use this attack.

In the upcoming Mario Party game for the Wii, Mario Party 9, there is a mini-game which has players use vehicles very similar to the Mario Car to bump into Bowser Jr. to try to get him to hit the electric barrier, similar to in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
