Hot Monster

The Hot Monster tires (known as the Funky Monster in the British English version) are an unlockable tire part in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. They are an orange variant of the Monster tires. Unlike their similar counterpart, the Red Monster from Mario Kart 7, they are statistically identical to the Monster tires; they offer a weight and traction boost in compromise for lowered acceleration and handling. Other than the color, the Hot Monster features circular treads instead of chevron-shaped treads. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Daisy and Wario uses these tires with the Varmint, and Donkey Kong uses these tires with the Standard ATV.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Hot Monster tires have slightly different stats. They now have improved water speed, water handling, air handling and miniturbo stats, and their traction stat has also been reduced as well.
