They appear on two different occasions: First, they can be seen in the Versus mode of the game, serving as obstacles. Second, when a player loses all of their balloons in [[Battle Mode]] and if there are at least two players left, they turn into a Mini Bomb Kart. In this state, they can drive like before, though they still count as having lost the battle. Instead, when they collide with a real driver, they explode and make the driver they crashed into lose one balloon. Once exploded, the Mini Bomb Kart disappears. If the player hits a Mini Bomb Kart in Battle Mode with a [[Super Star]] or another Mini Bomb Kart, there is no explosion, and the Mini Bomb Kart just disappears. At this point, the player is unable to participate further and must wait for the battle to finish. As a Mini Bomb Kart, the player is no longer displayed on the course's map and can no longer use items. Items can also hit the Mini Bomb Kart in the same manner as items hitting a racer; the Mini Bomb Kart does not explode if it hits an item, and [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] picks it up if it falls off the stage. Finally, when the player places fourth or lower in the [[Mario Kart (series)#Grand Prix|Grand Prix]], they drive away from the victory celebration. A Mini Bomb Kart appears and blows up the loser, which is followed by their losing portrait and the text ''"What a pity! You placed (number). Maybe next time!"'' appearing onscreen. | |
