Mushroom Car
The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.
Mushroom Cars are three-wheeled, Mushroom-shaped pickup trucks found driving on the main streets of the Mushroom Bridge and the Mushroom City courses in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Though they appear to be an obstacle, they are actually helpful to the drivers.
When a player bumps into a Mushroom Car, a Mushroom will pop out and land on the road. Though the car slows the player down, it does not make them spin. The player can then drive over the Mushroom and receive a brief burst of speed that may help him or her get ahead in the race. Of all the obstacle vehicles driving on the road, only the Mushroom Car is helpful. This vehicle, however, does not appear in Time Trial mode, even in the Mario Kart DS remake of Mushroom Bridge.
Trivia
- The sound the Mushroom Car makes when bumped is the same sound as a Mushroom coming out of a ? Block from most Mario games.
