The '''Koopa King''' is a [[kart]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It is named after [[Bowser]]'s mantle, "Koopa King", and is designed in his likeness, featuring two horns around the front end, headlamps for eyes and a bumper resembling a jaw with sharp teeth.

The Koopa King first appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' as [[Bowser]]'s default kart. It is a big and heavy kart and one of two six-wheelers in the game, the other being the [[Barrel Train]]. 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 is one of the only four karts with a unique engine sound, the other three being the [[DK Jumbo]], Barrel Train, and [[Parade Kart]].

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 Start]]s and awards extra points upon successfully performing one.

Unlike its ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' appearance, the horns and lips are more golden-colored, it only has four wheels as opposed to six (like the Barrel Train), the sharp spikes on said wheels were made flatter, the tires are more brownish in color, it lacks the second handlebar, the back handlebar has been bent down over the platform, making it no longer usable, and the original Bowser emblem on the hood and sides have been replaced by the character's respective emblem. The game also introduces two variants of this kart; a black and gold variant called the [[Gilded King]], and a red, white, and green variant called the [[Holiday King]], which are also classified as High-End karts.
