Appears in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart Tour

The Bolt Buggy is a kart in the Mario Kart series. It resembles the Pipe Frame with a yellow chassis similar to Donkey Kong's color scheme and a pair of headlights in the front. The emblem is located on the back of the kart. The Varmint from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has a similar design to this vehicle.

History

Mario Kart 7

The Bolt Buggy first appears in Mario Kart 7 as a default kart body part. It boosts speed, weight, and off-road, but its acceleration and handling are hindered during the process. It is one of the only five karts to increase off-road boost, with the other four being the Bumble V, Cact-X, Pipe Frame, and Tiny Tug. Also, the Bolt Buggy is tied with the B Dasher and Blue Seven for the lowest acceleration of all kart bodies. The engine sound is actually a lower-pitched version of several karts from Mario Kart DS, such as the Poltergust 4000, ROB-LGS and Zipper. It also sounds similar to the Koopa King from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and a BMW M3 GT2 4.0L V8 engine. It has the lowest calculated stat total of all kart bodies.

Mario Kart Tour

The Bolt Buggy appears in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a tour-exclusive Super kart. It was added to the game in the Jungle Tour and is the signature kart of Funky Kong. The kart uses the Monster tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It offers longer-lasting Slipstream boosts and increases the number of points earned for performing Slipstreams.

The Bolt Buggy also has a black and red variant called the Dark Buggy and a green and blue variant called the Green Lightning, and both of them are classified as High-End karts.

The Bolt Buggy has only been available in certain pipes and is not currently a part of the Daily Selects set. The following table shows the kart's availability by tour.
