The '''Steel Driver''' is a [[kart]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. Its name is a pun on the game ''{{iw|nwiki|Steel Diver}}''. In fact, its Japanese and Italian names are the Steel Diver. It is a submarine-like vehicle with a dark blue top and a red underside. When the kart goes underwater, the propeller appears in the rear guard, much like an actual submarine. The emblem is located on the sides of the kart, resembling eyes. 

==History==
===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
The Steel Driver debuts in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as an unlockable kart body. It has the same stats as the [[Badwagon]], the [[Tri-Speeder]], the [[Standard ATV]], and the [[GLA]]. It boosts weight and traction, but lowers acceleration and handling.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', it is now available from the start. In this game, it boosts speed and weight, but lowers acceleration and handling. It now shares stats with only the [[Tri-Speeder]] and [[Bone Rattler]]. CPU [[Iggy]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Dry Bones]], and [[Wiggler]] are occasionally seen using this kart, paired with the [[Metal]] tires.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
The Steel Driver returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a High-End kart and uses the [[Pirate Sushi Racer]]'s tires. It was added at the start of the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2020)|2020 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]] and became the signature kart of [[Penguin Mario|Penguin Luigi]] in the [[Snow Tour]]. The Steel Driver increases the duration of [[Slipstream]] boosts and the amount of points earned for performing Slipstreams.

Since its introduction in the 2020 Mario vs. Luigi Tour, the Steel Driver has appeared in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe. Below are additional availabilities for this kart, listed by tour.
