Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The Apple Kart is a High-End kart in Mario Kart Tour. Debuting in the Valentine's Tour, it is the signature kart of Baby Peach (Cherub) and Fire Rosalina. Like its name indicates, the kart is an apple-themed vehicle, and its name is derived from "apple tart", an apple-themed dessert. Its taillights have a star shape. The kart's color scheme also makes it resemble a fruit from the Mario games. The emblem is located on the front and rear of the kart. It uses the Wood tires from Mario Kart 7. The Apple Kart increases the duration of Jump Boost speed boosts and the amount of points earned upon performing Jump Boosts.

Five variants of the kart also appear; the first one is named the Green Apple Kart, which was introduced in the Flower Tour, the second one is named the Poison Apple Kart, which was introduced in the Cooking Tour, the third one is named the Pumpkin Kart, which was introduced in the 2020 Halloween Tour, the fourth one is a variant of the Pumpkin Kart called the Gold Pumpkin Kart, which was introduced in the 2021 Halloween Tour, and the fifth one is named the Watermelon Kart, which was introduced in the Ocean Tour. All five variants are also classified as High-End karts.
