The '''Prancer''' is an unlockable [[kart]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''.

History

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

The Prancer debuts in Mario Kart 8 as an unlockable kart body. It grants drivers no change to the stats of the vehicle, similar to the Standard Kart, the Cat Cruiser, the Sneeker, The Duke, the Teddy Buggy and the 300 SL Roadster.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the vehicle's stats have been altered, and it now shares its stats with the Sport Bike and the Jet Bike, which are inside-drifting bikes. CPU Peach and Cat Peach can be occasionally seen riding this kart body paired with Wood tires.

Mario Kart Tour

The Prancer reappears in Mario Kart Tour as a tour-exclusive High-End kart available in the Flower Tour. Unlike in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the horses no longer move. It increases the duration of slipstreams and the amount of points awarded for performing one. The kart uses the Wood tires from the aforementioned games. It is the only High-End spotlight kart in Mario Kart Tour that is neither a new variation of a past kart nor a new kart all together. It also has a variant called the Gilded Prancer, which debuted in the Ice Tour as a tour-exclusive High-End kart. This makes the Prancer one of only two karts that were introduced after variants of them were; the other was the Dasher II, a variation of the Cucumber from Mario Kart DS.
