| |
| In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', [[Bowser Jr.]] gets his own version of the Koopa Clown Car (later named the [[Junior Clown Car]]). It is encountered in {{world|4|airship}} and {{world|6|airship}}, but in {{world|8|airship}}, Bowser Jr. kicks it out of the boss room in favor of the original Koopa Clown Car. He attacks Mario and friends with fireballs and spiked bombs, which can be used to defeat him with a well-timed [[Ground Pound]].

| ====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
| | After being hit several more times by flung Mecha-Koopas, Bowser and the Koopa Clown Car will finally be beaten. Bowser can be seen over his castle in it. After being beaten, he relinquishes [[Princess Peach]] from it and retreats. |

| |
| The Clown Car re-appears in the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The [[Koopalings]] can be seen riding in it together. In the corridors of the final castle in World 6 (and World Star), the Koopalings are seen "flashing" with the Koopa Clown Car's eyes. Mario can evade said "flash" by passing between the castle's pillars. If the flash touches Mario, he will be turned into stone. After Mario defeats Bowser for the first time, the Koopalings use their magic to enlarge Bowser, but in doing so they and the Clown Car get knocked into the lava. The Koopa Clown Car was used one final time in the ending, where the Koopalings attempted to carry Bowser with it. However, because Bowser's size exceeded its capacity, the Koopalings and Bowser were scattered throughout the trees and floor. The Koopa Clown Car was also revealed to have an autopilot function, as demonstrated when the Koopa Clown Car delivered a caged Princess Peach to Bowser's castle shortly after [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]]'s defeat at the hands of Mario in the game.

| |align=right | | In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Bowser Jr. gets his own version of the Koopa Clown Car. It seems to be smaller to fit the size of the young Koopa prince. The clown face on it is slightly different, as well, having a more innocent-looking expression than Bowser's. Bowser Jr. uses his clown car twice in battle, and the third time he uses his dad's clown car, speculating that maybe after Bowser's final defeat with it, he found it a useless fighting tool, using it more as a mode of transportation. [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Blue Toad (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Blue Toad]], and [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Yellow Toad]] also each get a clown car in this game called the [[Mario Car]], making it the first game in which the playable character is allowed to use a Koopa Clown Car. |

| The Koopa Clown Car makes an appearance in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', where it can be placed multiple times in levels. It can be used ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles, where it will simply bob up and down in place when not in use. Additionally, it has been given new sprites for the ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' styles. Mario or any enemy can ride the Koopa Clown Car, including Bowser and Bowser Jr. themselves. When the player rides it, it functions similar to [[Lakitu's Cloud]], though it is slower and can be used indefinitely. If Mario is riding it, he can attack most enemies by hitting them with the car's propeller, which will have the same effect as a jump; however, rather than hurting Mario through the car, an enemy only pushes him back. Fire Mario can throw fireballs from inside the car. When the car hits something, including another car, it will bounce against it. If it hits [[Spike Trap]]s, the Clown Car will become dizzy and uncontrollable for a limited period of time. The Clown Car is defeated if it is crushed by more than one Bill Blaster or Muncher. When a [[Boo]] is in a Clown Car, the Clown Car will close its eyes when looked at. The Clown Car takes the form of the [[Junior Clown Car]] in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style. Shaking it transforms it into the [[Fire Koopa Clown Car]].

| ====''Super Mario Run''==== | | ====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''==== |
| Bowser always appears using the Koopa Clown Car in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', except for his appearance in Remix 10. The course [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run]] is dedicated to a boss fight where Bowser stays on the right side of the screen while attacking the player with projectiles. The Koopa Clown Car's contribution to the battle, aside from letting Bowser fly, is revealing a cannon that can shoot a [[Spike Ball]]. After being hit twice with reflected [[Bob-omb]]s, the Koopa Clown Car becomes angry permanently while expelling smoke. The Spike Balls become larger. After the third hit, Bowser is defeated. Both Bowser and the car tumble off screen and crash.
| | The Clown Car re-appears in the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The [[Koopalings]] can be seen riding in it together. Video footage has shown the Koopalings "flashing" with the Koopa Clown Car's eyes the corridors of the final castle in World 6. Mario can evade said "flash" by passing between the castle's pillars. If the flash touches Mario, he will be turned into stone. The Koopa Clown Car was used one final time in the ending, where the Koopalings attempted to carry Bowser with it.

| ====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| |
| Koopa Clown Cars, as well as Fire Koopa Clown Cars, reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', functioning the same as they do in the original ''Super Mario Maker''. They are located in the Enemies category.

| ====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
| |
| Bowser uses a Koopa Clown Car in the introduction cutscene for ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', riding it when he touches a [[Wonder Flower]]. This transforms Bowser into [[Castle Bowser]], a fusion between [[Prince Florian]]'s castle, Bowser, and the Koopa Clown Car. After Castle Bowser's defeat, Bowser Jr. and Kamek attempt to use the Koopa Clown Car to evacuate Bowser, but his size causes it to crash.

| The Koopa Clown Car, referred to as the '''Flying Clown Head''' in ''[[Koopa's Stone Age Quests]]'' and a ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' preview, appeared in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' cartoon]] episode "[[Send in the Clown]]." King Koopa uses the Flying Clown Head to announce to the cave-people of [[Dome City]] that they could go to the "[[Koopalings|Koopaling]] Bros. Circus" free of charge. Near the end of the episode, after Mario has destroyed the fake circus, an enraged King Koopa, having taken Princess Toadstool hostage, begins to attack Mario in the Flying Clown Head in a manner similar to the final boss battle from the game. He does so by dropping Big Steelies and [[Mechakoopa|Mechkoopas]] on Mario, as well as attempting to crush him. Eventually, King Koopa and his Flying Clown Head were defeated when Mario hurled a Mechkoopa at the vehicle, damaging its controls and causing it to fly off upside-down, dropping Princess Toadstool in the process. | | [[File:CartoonClownCar.jpg|thumb|left|King Koopa using the Clown Car in the ''Super Mario World'' cartoon.]] |

The Koopa Clown Car is used by Bowser for all three of the Bowser's Gauntlet minigames in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. The Clown Car makes a minor appearance in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' where it replaces Bowser's unnamed hovercraft in [[The Final Battle! (minigame)|The Final Battle!]]. In the remake of [[Yoshi's Tropical Island]] in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', the Koopa Clown Car replaces the [[Bowser's Shell]] Bowser uses to swap places with [[Toadette]] (who herself replaces [[Toad]] as the one who gives [[Star (Mario Party series)|Stars]] to the players). | | The Koopa Clown Car has appeared in several installments of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], most notably in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. In ''Mario Party 8'', it is depicted as having thicker lips and a green extension attached to its propeller; in addition to summoning cannons, it also has the ability to open its mouth, revealing a laser gun. However, these weapons are not all revealed in the beginning of the battle. The battle starts out with just laser gun blasts, and for approximately every four times [[Bowser]] is hit with blasts from the [[Star Rod]], he becomes angrier and summons additional weapons, eventually progressing to a full-scale assault, with laser gun blasts and [[Bullet Bill]] cannons being fired simultaneously. In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', [[Bowser Jr.]] is seen in [[Pair of Aces]] in his Koopa Clown Car from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. When the players reach the end of a stage, Bowser appears in a Koopa Clown Car as well. In the ending, Bowser and Bowser Jr. ride their Koopa Clown Cars. |
| | |
| In its early appearances, the Koopa Clown Car has a similar appearance to its ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' depiction. Starting from ''Mario Party 9'', it has since used its usual appearance.

| ====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
| |
| Machines similar to the Koopa Clown Car make an appearance in [[Neo Bowser Castle]] as [[Dreampoint]]s. A switch on the vehicles causes them to hover into the air, activating [[Luiginary Antigravity]] in the [[Dream World]]. The actual machine appears in the ending, where Bowser and his minions use it to escape [[Pi'illo Island]], only for it to start losing altitude due to [[Private Goomp]] and [[Sergeant Guy]] shaking it in an attempt to catch the raining coins. In this game, the Clown Car is not bowl-shaped as it has been in previous games, but has a flat surface level with the rim on which the rider stands. The Dreampoint replicas also have this trait.

They are used by the Bowsers as they kidnap the two versions of Princess Peach and later to escape from Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario. The normal Koopa Clown Car is later used in [[Neo Bowser Castle]] where Bowser attacks the bros to prevent them from taking one of the two Fire Ores. Additionally, faceless variants are used by Roy, Iggy, Wendy and Morton during various quests. The paper Koopa Clown Car has had a slight redesign, resembling the normal Koopa Clown Car and both versions of the Junior Clown Car.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *In ''Super Mario Maker'', there are unused sprites for a Big Steely and a tear. These were likely intended for a further replication of Bowser's behavior in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', while in the final game, he simply chases the player and throws [[Bob-omb]]s. | | *[[Lemmy Koopa]]'s mech in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'' resembles the Koopa Clown Car, but with robotic legs and cannons attached to it. The face on Lemmy's Koopa Clown Car was also designed with the tongue hanging out of it. |
| | | *The [[Hurricane]], one of Bowser's [[kart]]s from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' resembles a plane version of the Koopa Clown Car. |
| ==References==
| | *[[Medi Guy]]s from ''Paper Mario'' use a flying transport similar to the Koopa Clown Car, but without propellers and with the figure of a heart instead of the clown face. |
| {{NIWA|SmashWiki=1}} | | *[[Big Bob-omb]] rides in a vehicle similar to the Koopa Clown Car at [[Bowser's Castle]] in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', but it has no face and has a different, shallower shape to it. |
| <references/>
| | *The eyes on the Koopa Clown Car seem to alternate between simple black dots to evil-looking yellow eyes. |
| | | *The Koopa Clown Car may actually be very large inside. This is shown in ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', because it can hold all of the Koopalings in it, and it seems to have an infinite supply of Mechakoopas and Big Steelies. Despite this, however, it can't carry anything heavy, as evidenced by what happened when the Koopalings attempted to carry Bowser with the Clown Car in the ending of the latter game. |
