The '''Poltergust 4000''' is a [[kart]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It resembles an upgraded model of the [[Poltergust 3000]] from ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. The emblem is located on both sides of the barrel.

==History==
===''Mario Kart DS''===
The kart debuts in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as [[Luigi]]'s default signature [[kart]]; being unlocked for [[Yoshi]] and [[Waluigi]] as well when the player wins a gold trophy in all Nitro or Retro cups on 150cc. It becomes available for everyone else when a gold trophy is won in every cup on 150cc Mirror Mode.

The Poltergust 4000 has good speed, acceleration, and handling, and low weight, drift, and items. Its speed is tied with that of the [[Gold Mantis]], and its weight is tied with the [[Mushmellow]]. The [[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content|pre-release version of the Poltergust 4000]] had [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]]'s emblem on it, implying that the kart is one of E. Gadd's inventions.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
The Poltergust 4000 returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a Super kart. It uses the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', and offers longer-lasting [[Slipstream]] boosts while awarding bonus points for performing Slipstreams. An icy-blue variant, named the [[Ice-blue Poltergust]], was introduced in this game as a High-End kart.
