The '''Tanooki Kart''' is a [[kart]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It is a jeep-based vehicle (resembling a {{wp|Jeep Wrangler}}) named for and based upon [[Tanooki Mario]]. The [[emblem]] is located on the doors.

==History==
===''Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
The Tanooki Kart is one of four additional vehicles included in the [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content pack for ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. It is the signature kart of Tanooki Mario. Unlike most kart bodies, the Tanooki Kart doesn't get raised above the [[Monster (tire)|Monster]], [[Hot Monster]], and [[Cushion]] tires; a trait that it shares with the [[Tri-Speeder]]. It has the same engine sound as the [[Comet]], which appears to be a low-pitched {{wp|Wankel engine}}, but without the supercharger.

In terms of its stats, the Tanooki Kart is a less extreme version of the [[Steel Driver]], Tri-Speeder, [[Badwagon]], [[Standard ATV]], and [[GLA]], and its stats are shared with the [[Bone Rattler]], which is available in the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC pack.

A CPU-controlled Tanooki Mario will occasionally use this kart body in a race, equipped with the [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires and [[Waddle Wing]] glider.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', it is unlocked randomly by collecting [[coin]]s. Also, its stat spread is different, boosting weight, ground handling, and traction, while the ground speed and acceleration stats are hindered. The Tanooki Kart shares its stats with the [[Koopa Clown]] and the [[Master Cycle Zero]], and the three vehicle bodies possess the strongest traction boost in the game.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
The Tanooki Kart returns alongside Tanooki Mario in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as part of the [[Autumn Tour]], where it is classified as a High-End kart, and serves as his signature kart once again. It uses the Monster tires from ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', although an official screenshot shows it with the [[Pipe Frame]]'s tires instead. The Tanooki Kart increases the duration of [[Slipstream]] boosts and the amount of points earned for performing a Slipstream.

The Tanooki Kart has only appeared in certain pipes and is not currently a part of the Daily Selects set. The table below shows the kart's availability by tour.
