Template:Kart-infobox 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!! It has the lowest calculated stat total of all kart bodies.

CPU-controlled Bowser, Donkey Kong and Rosalina can occasionally be seen driving in this body.

Mario Kart Tour

The Bolt Buggy appears in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a tour-exclusive Super kart. It is the signature kart of Funky Kong. The Bolt Buggy offers longer-lasting slipstreams and yields more points for performing one. It uses the Monster tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It also has a black and red variant called the Dark Buggy, which is classified as a tour-exclusive High-End kart exclusive to the Exploration Tour.
