The '''Bumble V''' is a [[kart]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. Its name is a pun of the word "bumblebee", and the kart itself is based on a bee. Its design bears a slight resemblance to a [[Stingby]], with a stinger at the front similar to the spike at the front of the [[Cact-X]], and its taillights resemble honeycombs, fitting with the bee theme. Its engine sound is similar to the noise of a bee buzzing and almost like a {{wp|Wankel engine}} from a {{wp|Mazda RX-7}} and {{wp|Mazda RX-8}}. The emblem is located on the sides and back of the kart.

==History==
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 7''====

The Bumble V first appears as a kart part in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. It offers an acceleration and off-road boost, but its weight and handling are hindered. The Bumble V is tied with the [[Barrel Train]] and [[Bruiser]] for having the lowest handling of all kart bodies, and it is tied with the [[Birthday Girl]] and [[Egg 1]] for having the highest acceleration of all kart bodies, and it has the highest acceleration of any kart body that doesn't have a negative impact on the Speed stat. It is also one of only five kart bodies to increase the off-road stat, with the other four being the [[Bolt Buggy]], [[Cact-X]], [[Pipe Frame]], and [[Tiny Tug]].

In terms of its hidden stats, the Bumble V offers one of the highest mini-turbo boosts, which it shares with the Barrel Train and [[Koopa Clown]] kart bodies.

It is one of the three vehicles in ''Mario Kart 7'' to have a two-stroke engine that sounds like a two-rotor Wankel, the other being the [[Standard Kart]] and the [[Cloud 9]]. 

CPU [[Honey Queen]] and [[Wario]] can occasionally drive this body.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
The Bumble V returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a High-End kart. In the closed beta for the game, the kart used the [[Slick]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', while in the final game, it uses the [[Pipe Frame]]'s tires instead. The seat is also now colored dark blue instead of orange. The Bumble V increases the duration of [[Dash Panel]] speed boosts and the number of points earned for using Dash Panels.

The game introduces two variants of the Bumble V: a black and gold one named the [[Queen Bee]], and the other with a pink-gold and silver color scheme named the [[Rose Queen]]. Both of them are classified as High-End karts.

The Bumble V appears in the First Pipe and Second Pipe of each tour and is also a part of the Daily Selects set. Between January 29, 2020 and February 5, 2020 during the [[Valentine's Tour]], it was also available as a special offer in the Bumble V Pack.

===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
The ''Mario Kart 7'' artwork of [[Yoshi]] driving the Bumble V appears on a Level 2 Yoshi [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Character Card]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. The card can be used to apply eight points of damage to all enemies on the screen simultaneously.
