Birthday Girl

The Birthday Girl (known as Royal Ribbon in PAL regions) is a kart body that appears in Mario Kart 7. It resembles a shoe, with ribbons and bows decorated. As its North American name implies, it is a body that is primarily designed for female characters, but it can also be used by the male or indeterminate-gender characters, although male or indeterminate-gender computer racers are never seen on this kart.

It changes color for Princess Daisy, Rosalina, and Honey Queen, receiving an orange, blue, and purple color scheme, respectively. Furthermore, it is Princess Peach's, Princess Daisy's, and Rosalina's signature kart, as well as one of Honey Queen's, alongside the Bumble V. Although it changes color for most female characters, Peach and female Miis do not get a color change. It offers a high acceleration and handling boost, while its speed, weight, and off-road are hindered.

Princess Peach's Royal Ribbon makes a cameo appearance as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Trivia

 * The Birthday Girl is the first body in the series that changes color, but each character doesn't get a different color scheme, as only female characters (aside from Princess Peach) get different color schemes. In Mario Kart 8, this trait applies to the Landship, because only the Koopalings get different color schemes.
