The '''Badwagon''' is a [[kart]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. The Badwagon resembles a hot-pink {{iw|wikipedia|muscle car}} with stereo speakers and a [[Roy Smooth Sounds]] logo on the rear. The [[emblem]] is located on the hood. The vehicle's name is a pun on "{{iw|wikipedia|bandwagon effect}}," a psychological phenomenon where individuals more easily conform to a trend set by a larger group of people regardless of contrary evidence.

==History==
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
The Badwagon is a default kart body in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. Although muscle cars are typically built for speed, the Badwagon does not offer any ground speed boost (though it offers a water speed boost); it excels at weight and traction, while acceleration and handling are lowered. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', however, it offers a speed boost on the ground, while the water speed and water handling are weakened significantly. The stereo speakers and the lights animate to the beat of the background music, while they are idle in the beginning of the race and briefly when the final lap jingle plays. It shares its stats with the [[Tri-Speeder]], the [[Steel Driver]], the [[Standard ATV]], and the [[GLA]]. Artwork of the kart shows that it has {{wp|Steering#Four-wheel steering|four-wheel steering}}, though it is not used in-game. It has the engine sound of a V-twin with loud and distinctive exhaust noise. A CPU-controlled [[Princess Peach|Peach]] occasionally uses the Badwagon, paired with the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires.

While this vehicle body is available right from the start in ''Mario Kart 8'', in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', it must be unlocked by collecting [[coin]]s. CPU [[King Boo]], [[Roy]], [[Pink Gold Peach]], and [[Petey Piranha]] occasionally use this body during races with the [[Off-Road]] tires.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
The Badwagon returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a High-End kart. It offers longer-lasting [[Mini-Turbo]] boosts and increases the amount of points earned for performing Mini-Turbos. It uses the [[Retro Off-Road]] tires (although an official screenshot shows it with the [[Pipe Frame]]’s tires instead). Unlike its first appearance, the kart's speakers do not move and the lights do not flash. The game introduces two variants, a blue variant, simply named the [[Blue Badwagon]], and a platinum variant, which is named the [[Grand Badwagon]], as well as an orange flower-themed counterpart, which is named the [[Flowery Badwagon]]. All three are also classified as High-End karts.

Since its debut, the Badwagon is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe. It is also a part of the Daily Selects lineup. The table below lists the kart's special availability by tour.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
The Badwagon appears as an Ace-class Shield-type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}} with two support slots in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is represented by [[Pink Gold Peach]]'s ''Mario Kart 8'' artwork, depicting her driving a Badwagon. When used, the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] increases movement speed. Its puppet fighter is a [[Metal Mario|Metal Peach]], fought on the [[Mario Circuit (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U)|Mario Circuit]] stage, and the spirit can be obtained by defeating her in battle. Alternatively, the Badwagon spirit can be purchased from [[Funky Kong]]'s Shack for 4,000 Spirit Points at standard price.
