Bruiser

The Bruiser (known as the Growlster in the British English version) is a kart from the Mario Kart series. It resembles a vintage roadster with a grille resembling fangs, headlights that resemble angry eyes, and spikes on the front fenders. Four exhaust pipes come out of the rear, similar to the Zucchini. 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 an unlockable 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 was added in Mario Kart Tour at the start of the 2019 Holiday Tour. It is classified as a High-End kart and uses the Slim tires from Mario Kart 7. The Bruiser increases the duration of Jump Boost speed boosts and the number of points earned for performing Jump Boosts.

The game introduces a blue and pink striped variant named the Glam Bruiser, which is also classified as a High-End kart.

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.
