Mini Bomb Kart

Mini Bomb Karts are bomb-like objects found in Mario Kart 64. They appear on two different occasions: First, they can be seen in the VS mode of the game, serving as obstacles. Second, when a player loses all of his Balloons in Battle Mode and if there are at least two players left, he will turn into a Mini Bomb Kart. In this state, he may drive on as before, though without having the chance to win the battle. Instead, when he collides with a real driver, he will explode and make the driver he crashed into lose one Balloon. Once exploded, there is no chance for the Mini Bomb Kart to revive.

When the player places 4rd place, he will drive away from the victory celebration. A Mini Bomb Kart will appear and ram into him, exploding.
