Koopa Clown

The Koopa Clown is an unlockable kart part in Mario Kart 7, based upon Bowser's Koopa Clown Car. It boosts handling, but lowers acceleration and off-road slightly. It should also been noted that the Koopa Clown is tied with the Birthday Girl and Cloud 9 for having the highest handling of all kart bodies, and it has the highest handling of any kart body that doesn't have a negative impact on the speed stat.

In terms of its hidden stats, the Koopa Clown offers one of the strongest mini-turbo boosts in the game; a trait that it shares with the Barrel Train and Bumble V kart bodies. Its engine noise is similar to that of Tyrant and Hurricane from Mario Kart DS.

The kart is set to appear in the upcoming Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch. In the trailer, it is seen being driven by Bowser Jr., who also returns in the game. The design remains unchanged from the original, aside from the exhaust pipes being shorter.
