The '''Koopa Clown''' is a [[kart]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, based upon [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopa Clown Car]]. The [[emblem]] is located on the rear.

==History==
===''Mario Kart 7''===
The Koopa Clown first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as an unlockable kart part. It boosts handling, but lowers acceleration and off-road slightly. It should also be noted that the Koopa Clown is tied with the [[Birthday Girl]] and [[Cloud 9]] for having the highest handling of all kart bodies, and it has the highest handling of any kart body that doesn't have a negative impact on the weight or speed stats.

In terms of its hidden stats, the Koopa Clown offers one of the strongest mini-turbo boosts in the game; a trait that it shares with the [[Barrel Train]] and [[Bumble V]] kart bodies. Its engine noise is similar to that of the [[Tyrant]], [[Hurricane]], [[Rambi Rider]], [[Wildlife]], [[Brute]] and [[Dragonfly]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and also shares it with the [[Cact-X]] which is a {{wp|V2 engine}}.

===''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
Although it does not appear in the original ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the kart reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as an unlockable kart body. It is redesigned to appear smaller. The exhaust pipes are shorter and it is equipped with a pair of propellers that open up on gliders and [[anti-gravity]] segments. Other design aspects were also changed to make it better resemble the actual Koopa Clown Car, such the exhaust pipe placed in its mouth being removed. The tips of the propellers also have a secondary color. Much like the [[Landship]], the kart has different palette colors for each of the [[Koopalings]], which match the colors of the Koopa Clown Cars they use in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]''. For other characters, it uses the default green color. Its engine sound is shared with the [[Biddybuggy]] and it sounds like an inline-four turbo. CPU [[Bowser]], [[Bowser Jr.]], the [[Koopalings]], and [[Kamek]] occasionally use this body during races. It gives off a small boost to weight, water speed, handling, water handling, and the highest boost to traction, while speed, acceleration, and mini-turbo are hindered. It shares its stats with the [[Tanooki Kart]] and the [[Master Cycle Zero]].

The propellers that activate during anti-gravity also have differing colors per character, although the propeller's primary color is the same as the kart's respective primary color.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
The Koopa Clown returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a Super kart. It was added in the [[Tokyo Tour]] and uses its ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' design. In this game, the kart is equipped with the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires from ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Unlike in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the rim does not change color regardless of whether a [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] is using it or not, and the kart no longer reveals its propellers while gliding. The Koopa Clown increases the duration of [[Mini-Turbo]] boosts and the amount of points earned for performing Mini-Turbos.

The [[Halloween Tour (2019)|2019 Halloween Tour]] introduced a purple variant of the kart called the [[Dark Clown]], which is also classified as a Super kart. The [[Holiday Tour (2021)|2021 Holiday Tour]] introduced a holiday-themed variant, the [[Candy Clown]], which has the High-End classification.

The Koopa Clown is available in regular tour pipes and is also part of the shop's Daily Selects. It could be obtained through other means as well; the table below lists the special availability of the Koopa Clown by tour.

===''Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit''===
The Koopa Clown reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'' keeping its appearance from ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' but with small rocket-like objects on the sides and the kart's tires being set to [[anti-gravity]] at all times, now limited to a CPU-only kart used by [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]]. Similar to ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the Koopalings' Koopa Clowns are uniquely colored except for the steering wheel piece, which is green for all of them in the game itself.
