History

Mario Kart series

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Bowser and Bowser Jr. prepare to do a Time Trial run at Bowser's Castle, using the Koopa King.

The Koopa King first appears in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! as Bowser's kart. According to the in-game stats, the Koopa King is the fastest kart in the game, as well as having the weakest acceleration, making it a bad pick for simple courses, such as Baby Park. It is also one of the heaviest karts in the game; its weight is tied with the Piranha Pipes and Boo Pipes. The Koopa King shares its engine sound with the DK Jumbo, Barrel Train, and Parade Kart.

In terms of its actual stats, the Koopa King does offer the highest top speed and the lowest acceleration of all the karts in the game, but it's also tied with the Bullet Blaster for losing the most speed whenever it goes off-road.

Mario Kart Tour

The Koopa King returns in Mario Kart Tour as part of the Exploration Tour, where it is classified as a High-End kart. It offers longer lasting Rocket Starts and awards extra points upon successfully performing one. Unlike its previous appearance, the horns and lips are more golden-colored, it only has four wheels as opposed to six, the sharp spikes on said wheels are absent, it lacks the second handlebar, the platform has been made shorter and is no longer usable, and the original Bowser emblem on the hood and sides have been replaced by the character's emblem.
