It resembles both a jet with a turbine-shaped grille in the front and the Formula One cars of the 1950s, having a color combination reminiscent of the blue and yellow OSCA Tipo G 4500 with a more intense blue color while sporting a yellow racing stripe and tailfin. Probably because of that, it is represented in the artworks of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' with [[Slim (tire)|Slim tires]]. The emblem is located on the hood and either side of the tailfin. | The '''Mach 8''' is a [[kart]] from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series.

The Mach 8 is a kart from the Mario Kart series. It resembles both a jet with a turbine-shaped grille in the front and the Formula One cars of the 1950s, having a color combination reminiscent of the blue and yellow OSCA Tipo G 4500 with a more intense blue color while sporting a yellow racing stripe and tailfin. Probably because of that, it is represented in the artworks of Mario Kart 8 with Slim tires. The emblem is located on the hood and either side of the tailfin.
History[edit]
Mario Kart series[edit]
Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]
The Mach 8 debuts in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as a kart body. It is a midweight component that offers good speed, but has below average acceleration and poor traction. The front and back of the body illuminate when the body goes into anti-gravity mode. The kart itself shares the same exact stats with the Sports Coupe, Circuit Special, Gold Standard, B Dasher, and P-Wing. The engine is supercharged, resembling a flat-twelve from a Ferrari Testarossa, and can also be heard when the kart is moving.
CPU-controlled Luigi may occasionally use this vehicle body, often paired with the Slim tires. In fact, Luigi's main artwork also depicts him driving the Mach 8. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Yoshi and Birdo are also seen occasionally using this body, both with the Slim tires. Champion's Tunic Link uses this vehicle as well but is equipped with the Triforce Tires instead.
While the Mach 8 is a starting vehicle body in Mario Kart 8, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe it must be unlocked by collecting coins. Its stats have also changed to slightly boosting weight and traction, while slightly lowering acceleration and handling. It shares stats with only the Sports Coupe and Inkstriker.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
The Mach 8 returns in Mario Kart Tour where it is classified as a Super kart. It uses the Slim tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The Mach 8 increases the duration of Slipstream boosts and the number of points earned for performing Slipstreams.
The game introduces a koinobori-styled variant called the Karp Kart and a black and flame-styled variant called the Mach 8-R, both of which are classified as High-End karts. The Mach 8 has been regularly available in pipes and is part of the Daily Selects set.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
Luigi's Mach 8 appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an Advanced-type support spirit that takes up two support slots. When the spirit is used in certain spirit battles, the screen will never flip upside down. The spirit's puppet fighter is Luigi on the Mario Circuit stage; during the spirit's assigned battle, every fighter is under the effect of high gravity. The enemy can deal damage by simply running into the player. The spirit can be obtained from the Spirit Board as well as Funky Kong's Shack for 1,000 Spirit Points at regular price.
