Cloud 9

The Cloud 9 is a kart part that players can choose in Mario Kart 7. As its name implies, it is shaped like a Lakitu's Cloud with exhaust pipes. It is the signature kart part for Lakitu, but it can also be used by any other character in the game.

Mario Kart 7
The Cloud 9's acceleration and handling get a boost, while the speed and weight stats are hindered. It is tied with the Birthday Girl and Tiny Tug for having the lowest speed, and it is tied with the Birthday Girl and Koopa Clown for the highest handling of all kart bodies. Also, the Cloud 9 has the highest handling of any kart body that doesn't have a negative impact on the off-road stat.

In terms of its hidden stats, the Cloud 9 excels pretty well while underwater, and it offers one of the best sea handling stats of any kart body; a trait that it shares with the Tiny Tug. In fact, when compared to all the other kart bodies, the Cloud 9 has the highest stat total in the game.

Its engine sound is similar to that of Toad's and Koopa Troopa's kart from Super Mario Kart.

CPU Rosalina can occasionally be seen driving in this body.

Mario Kart Tour
The Cloud 9 returns in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a Super kart. Jump Boosts yield more points when using this kart. However, unlike in Mario Kart 7, it does not display the emblem on it. It uses the Sponge tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
The Cloud 9 makes a cameo appearance as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, driven by Lakitu.
