Birthday Girl

The Birthday Girl (known as Royal Ribbon in Europe and Oceania) is a default kart body that appears in Mario Kart 7. It resembles a shoe, with ribbons and bows decorated. As its American name implies, it is a body that is primarily designed for female characters, but it can still be used by the male or indeterminate-gender characters, although male or indeterminate-gender computer racers are not seen on this kart.

It changes color for Princess Daisy, Rosalina, and Honey Queen, receiving an orange, blue, and purple color scheme, respectively. Furthermore, it is Princess Peach's, Princess Daisy's, and Rosalina's signature kart, as well as one of Honey Queen's, alongside the Bumble V. Although it changes color for most female characters, Peach and female Miis do not get a color change.

The Birthday Girl offers a high acceleration and handling boost, while its speed, weight, and off-road are hindered. It is tied with the Cloud 9 and Tiny Tug for the lowest speed of all kart bodies, while being tied with the Egg 1 and Bumble V for having the highest acceleration of all kart bodies. Lastly, the Birthday Girl is tied with the Cloud 9 and Koopa Clown for having the highest handling of all kart bodies.

CPU Daisy is more likely to be seen driving this body with the Roller, Slim, Slick and the Sponge tires.

Luigi is more likely to be seen driving this body with the Mushroom tires.

Koopa Troopa is more likely to be seen driving this body with the Standard tires.

Princess Peach's Birthday Girl makes a cameo appearance as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

It has the same engine noise as the Standard Bike from Mario Kart Wii.
