Tri-Speeder: Difference between revisions

The '''Tri-Speeder''' is an unlockable [[kart]] body that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. Hence the name, it is a three-wheeled kart that is painted green and slightly resembles a [[wikipedia:Morgan Motor Company|1937 Morgan Super Sport]]. The Tri-Speeder is one of two vehicles in ''Mario Kart 8'' to have only three wheels, with the other vehicle being the [[Bone Rattler]]. It sports an open V-twin engine with an [[? Block]] from the front facing northeast housing the crankshaft, and two cylinders with heads shaped like [[mushroom]]s housing the pistons and valve gear. The cylinders and exhaust pipes shake while the kart is moving. The emblem is located on the hood. It has an advantage in weight and traction, but a disadvantage in acceleration and handling. It shares its stats with the [[Badwagon]], the [[Steel Driver]], the [[Standard ATV]], and the [[GLA]].

In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the Tri-Speeder has its stats changed, so it now boosts ground speed, water speed, weight and water handling, and all its other stats (except traction) are lowered. It now only shares its stats with the [[Steel Driver]] and the [[Bone Rattler]]. CPU [[Wario]] uses the Tri-Speeder with [[Off-Road]] tires and [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]] uses it with the [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires. ''Skyward Sword'' [[Link]] also use this kart occasionally but pairs it up with the [[Triforce Tires]] instead. Additionally, [[Metal Mario]] pairs it with the [[Metal]] tires.

Aside from kart bodies introduced in the [[Mercedes-Benz × Mario Kart 8|Mercedes-Benz × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC, this is the only kart body introduced in ''Mario Kart 8'' to not reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.
