====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
The Bullet Blaster first appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' as the signature kart of [[Bowser Jr.]] (although the Prima's Official Strategy Guide claims it does not have an associated character<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S.|title=''Mario Kart: Double Dash'' PRIMA's Official Strategy Guide|page=34|date=November 25, 2003|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-4424-0}}</ref>). It is a lightweight kart with middleweight and/or heavyweight qualities that is unlocked by winning the [[Special Cup]] on 50cc. Like [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[Barrel Train]], the Bullet Blaster is one of the fastest lightweight karts in the game. It is also one of two karts with high speed to have average acceleration, with the other being the [[Parade Kart]]. However, it is the lightest kart in the game, and can be knocked around by any other kart of any weight class. Its horn makes the sound of a noisemaker.
Like [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[Barrel Train]], the Bullet Blaster is one of the fastest lightweight karts in the game. It is also the lightest kart in the game, and can be knocked around by any other kart of any weight class. Another one of the kart's good stats is its acceleration, which is lower than the regular lightweight kart, but still better than a heavyweight. Its horn makes the sound of a noisemaker. The Bullet Blaster is unlocked by completing the [[Special Cup]] in 50cc.
 
In terms of its actual stats, while the Bullet Blaster does have a three-star acceleration stat, it is one of the weaker accelerating karts, equaling the [[Red Fire]], [[Turbo Birdo]], and Parade Kart. Also, its top speed, with four stars, is tied with that of the [[Barrel Train]], [[DK Jumbo]], and [[Piranha Pipes]]. Lastly, although the Bullet Blaster is a lightweight kart, it is tied with the [[Koopa King]] for having the slowest off-road speed in the game.


The Bullet Blaster, Red Fire, and [[Green Fire]] share the same engine sound.

The Bullet Blaster returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it appears as a Normal kart. Its design has been updated to be more in line with the Banzai Bill's appearances post-''New Super Mario Bros.'', but with the same yellow rotor as in ''Double Dash!!''. The platform is absent, and the handlebar joints were moved to make room for the driver's emblem. In-game, this kart uses the [[Birthday Girl]]'s tires, although footage of the [[Bowser's Shell]] item shows the kart with the [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' instead.<ref>{{cite|author=mariokarttourEN|date=September 1, 2019|url=x.com/mariokarttourEN/status/1168054890871934976|title=Special item introduction: Bowser's Shell In #MarioKartTour, there are special items for certain drivers.
