- "Truck" redirects here. For other types of trucks, see Dash panel ramp truck and Surfboard vehicle.
A cargo truck[1] is a frequently occurring obstacle appearing in the Mario Kart series. Cargo trucks mainly appear in stages set on roads, such as Shroom Ridge, and will drive along the main roads with all of the other traffic. If the player gets hit by a cargo truck, it will have the same effect as driving over a Banana, causing the player to spin out. There is no way to destroy a cargo truck, but they can be launched into the air by driving into it with a Super Star, Bullet Bill, Chain Chomp or Mega Mushroom, or by throwing a Bowser Shell at them. If the cargo truck is hit by anything, it will honk its horn at the player. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, if the truck is lifted into the air, it stops moving, whereas in future games, it continues to move even while in the air.
History
Mario Kart series
Mario Kart 64
Cargo trucks first appeared in Mario Kart 64, where they only appeared in the course Toad's Turnpike. The game features a plain grey cargo truck, a flatbed truck carrying white boxes, another flatbed truck carrying planks of wood and a pale turquoise oil tanker.

There is also an orange Super Chocolate truck, which has the name styled similarly to the logo of the first Super Mario Bros. game, two 8-bit jumping Mario sprites on the back doors, an 8-bit Koopa Troopa and two 8-bit Goombas on the side and W1-1 on the number plate.
