Bruiser

The Bruiser (known as the Growlster in the British English version) is a kart from the Mario Kart series that resembles a vintage roadster with a grille resembling fangs, headlights that resemble angry eyes, spikes on the front fenders, and four exhaust pipes on the rear. The emblem is located on the hood (and underneath the exhaust pipes in Mario Kart Tour).

Mario Kart 7
The Bruiser first appears in Mario Kart 7 as a kart body part. It offers a speed and weight boost, while its acceleration and handling are hindered. The Bruiser is tied with the B Dasher, Blue Seven, and Zucchini for having the highest speed of any kart body, but it is also tied with the Bumble V and Barrel Train for having the lowest handling of all kart bodies. It has the same engine noise as the B Dasher, albeit lower-pitched.

CPU Shy Guy and Wario can occasionally be seen driving in this body with the Sponge and Standard tires respectively and the Beast Glider.

Mario Kart Tour
The Bruiser returned in Mario Kart Tour, from the start of the Holiday Tour, where it is classified as a High-End kart. It uses the Slim tires from Mario Kart 7. Performing Jump Boosts last longer and yields more points when using this kart. The game also introduces a rainbow-colored variant named the Glam Bruiser, which is also classified as a High-End kart, but it is exclusive to the New Year’s Tour.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
The Bruiser, driven by Wario and equipped with the Beast Glider, appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as an unlockable trophy.
