'''Sports Coupe''' is a | The '''Sports Coupe''' (written as '''Sports Coupé''' in the British English version) is a kart in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. As what its name suggests, it resembles a sports car, and also seems to be based on the {{wp|Smart Roadster}}. Unlike most other vehicles, it has three exhaust pipes. The emblem is located between the two lower exhaust pipes. | ||
==History== | |||
===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''=== | |||
The Sports Coupe first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', as an unlockable kart body. It offers a boost in speed and weight, but a decrease in acceleration, anti-gravity handling, traction and mini-turbo. It has identical stats to the [[Mach 8]], [[Circuit Special]], [[Gold Standard]], [[B Dasher]], and [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]]. Like the Circuit Special, its engine sound is reminiscent of a real-world racing car, and the Sports Coupe is also one of the vehicles in ''Mario Kart 8'' to have a supercharged engine (but is twin turbocharged), which almost sounds like a {{wp|flat-six engine}} from a {{wp|Porsche 911 GT3}}, but is actually a DOHC {{wp|V6 engine}}. The 150cc Time Trial staff ghosts for [[Mario Kart Stadium]] in both ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' use [[Mario]] on the Sports Coupe with [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires and the [[Super Glider]]. | |||
In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the Sports Coupe now has an increase in traction but a decrease in ground speed and water speed (although it offers a boost to air speed and a bigger boost to anti-gravity speed); it also now negatively impacts ground and air handling while boosting anti-gravity handling. As a result, the Sports Coupe now shares its stats with only the [[Mach 8]] and the [[Inkstriker]] instead. CPU [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] and [[Isabelle]] can be seen occasionally riding this kart with Standard tires. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Funky Kong]] are also seen using this kart occasionally, but pairs it up with the [[Monster (tire)|Monster tires]] instead. The [[Toad Harbor]] and [[N64 Toad's Turnpike|Toad's Turnpike]] 200cc Time Trial staff ghosts in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' use [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]] respectively on the Sports Coupe with [[Slick]] tires. | |||
===''Mario Kart Tour''=== | |||
The Sports Coupe reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a High-End kart. It increases the duration of [[Rocket Start]] boosts and the amount of points earned for performing a Rocket Start. It uses the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. A variant themed around 2022, simply called the [[Sports Coupe 2022]], was introduced in the [[New Year's 2022 Tour]]. The kart was introduced in the [[1st Anniversary Tour]] and has since appeared in the First Pipe and Second Pipe of every tour. The table below details the kart's special availability by tour. | |||
