The '''Para-Wing''' is a [[kart]] from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It is based on the [[Koopa Dasher]], with a red color scheme and wings on the side, resembling a [[Koopa Paratroopa]]. It also has "P"'s replacing all the "K"'s.
The '''Para-Wing''' is [[Paratroopa]]'s unlockable [[kart]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It's generally [[Koopa]]'s kart with a red painting, wings on the side, and "P"'s replacing all the "K"s. It is a lightweight kart and is unlocked by completing [[Star Cup]] in 50cc.


The Para-Wing shows a very low top speed and very high acceleration. Also, like the [[Koopa Dasher]] of [[Koopa Troopa]], it's slightly tougher than other lightweight karts. Oddly enough, it's heavy enough to rival the weight of the medium weight [[Bloom Coach]] kart.

Strangely, despite of its five star acceleration stat, the Para Wing's acceleration is a bit weaker than the [[Koopa Dasher]]'s (which has a four star acceleration stat). It has the third highest acceleration in the game, losing only to the Koopa Dasher and the [[Toadette Kart]].

History[edit]

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]

Sherbet Land
The Para Wing in action

The Para-Wing first appears in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! as the signature kart of Paratroopa. It is a lightweight kart unlocked by winning the Star Cup on 50cc. The Para-Wing has very low top speed along with very high acceleration, being tied with the Goo-Goo Buggy and Toadette Kart in both categories. Like the Koopa Dasher, it is slightly heavier than other lightweight karts, being able to rival the weight of the medium weight Bloom Coach kart. However, the kart is more prone to bouncing than the Goo-Goo Buggy and Toadette Kart. The kart's wings move when it boosts.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The Para-Wing returns in Mario Kart Tour as a Super kart. Unlike before, the "P" has been replaced with the respective driver's emblem, the platform is absent, and its wings no longer move. It uses the Turbo Yoshi's tires, although an unused sprite shows it with the Pipe Frame's tires, similar to what the Koopa Dasher originally used. The Para-Wing increases the duration of Jump Boost speed boosts and the number of points earned for performing Jump Boosts.

A disco ball-themed variant called the Party-Wing debuted in the New Year's 2021 Tour and is classified as a High-End kart.
