Template:Kart-infobox The Koopa King is a kart in the Mario Kart series. It is named after Bowser's mantle, "Koopa King", and is designed in his likeness, featuring two horns around the front end, headlamps for eyes and a bumper resembling a jaw with sharp teeth.
History
Mario Kart series
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
The Koopa King first appears in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! as Bowser's default kart. It is a big and heavy kart and one of two six-wheelers in the game, the other being the Barrel Train. According to the in-game stats, the Koopa King is the fastest kart in the game, as well as having the weakest acceleration, making it a bad pick for simple courses, such as Baby Park. It is also one of the heaviest karts in the game; its weight is tied with the Piranha Pipes and Boo Pipes. The Koopa King is one of the only four karts with a unique engine sound, the other three being the DK Jumbo, Barrel Train, and Parade Kart.
In terms of its actual stats, the Koopa King does offer the highest top speed and the lowest acceleration of all the karts in the game, but it is also tied with the Bullet Blaster for losing the most speed whenever it goes off-road.
Mario Kart Tour
The Koopa King returns in Mario Kart Tour as part of the Exploration Tour, where it is classified as a High-End kart. It offers longer-lasting Rocket Starts and awards extra points upon successfully performing one.
Unlike its Mario Kart: Double Dash!! appearance, the horns and lips are more golden-colored, it only has four wheels as opposed to six (like the Barrel Train), the sharp spikes on said wheels were made flatter, the tires are more brownish in color, it lacks the second handlebar, the back handlebar has been bent down over the platform, making it no longer usable, and the original Bowser emblem on the hood and sides have been replaced by the character's respective emblem. The game also introduces two variants of this kart; a black and gold variant called the Gilded King, and a red, white, and green variant called the Holiday King, which are also classified as High-End karts.
