The red Roving Racer, named "'''Red Koopa (Freerunning)'''", appears as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', introduced in the [[London Tour]]. He is a Super-level driver, and his [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] is the [[Fire Flower]]. He is featured as the chosen driver in [[Waluigi Pinball (DS)|DS Waluigi Pinball T]]'s [[Combo Attack]] and [[Tokyo Blur 4]]'s [[Time Trial (Mario Kart Tour)|Time Trial]] bonus challenges. The gold Roving Racer, named "'''Gold Koopa (Freerunning)'''", also appears as a playable character, added in the [[New Year's Tour]].

The Roving Racers are a quintet of Koopa Troopas that appear in the game Super Mario Odyssey. They wear caps that correspond to their shell color and race Mario across the different kingdoms in a minigame called Koopa Freerunning.

History

Super Mario Odyssey

During the Koopa Freerunning minigame, each Roving Racer takes a different path to the finish; the red Koopa Troopa is always the first of the four to finish, followed by the blue Koopa Troopa, then the green Koopa Troopa, and finally the purple Koopa Troopa. In each kingdom's race, Mario must come in first place to obtain a Power Moon; after doing so and hitting the kingdom's Moon Rock, he can rematch them and gain another Power Moon if he comes in first place again, with a gold Koopa that tends to take shortcuts and always finishes before the other Roving Racers replacing the purple Koopa. Mario can rematch the Roving Racers indefinitely after collecting both Power Moons, earning fifty to one hundred coins for coming in first place depending on the kingdom. The Roving Racers can perform moves that Mario can, such as the Cap Throw; they can also capture enemies and ride Jaxis, but appear to be rapidly spinning inside their shells with yellow sparks surrounding them when doing so. They notably have longer arms and legs than other Koopa Troopas in order to match Mario's body proportions.

The Roving Racers race Mario in a similar vein to Cosmic Mario from Super Mario Galaxy, and their role is reminiscent of Koopa the Quick from Super Mario 64. In order to participate in the race, Mario must find and talk to the green Roving Racer, who can be found in every kingdom after the completion of the story (except for the Cloud Kingdom, the Ruined Kingdom, the Dark Side, and the Darker Side). The Koopa Freerunning leaderboard is always next to him. If Mario approaches the green Roving Racer while capturing an enemy, he will complain about how he does not have time to deal with it.

Mario Kart Tour

The red Roving Racer, named "Red Koopa (Freerunning)", appears as a playable character in Mario Kart Tour, introduced in the London Tour. He is a Super-level driver, and his special skill is the Fire Flower. He is featured as the chosen driver in DS Waluigi Pinball T's Combo Attack and Tokyo Blur 4's Time Trial bonus challenges. The gold Roving Racer, named "Gold Koopa (Freerunning)", also appears as a playable character, added in the New Year's Tour. Unlike the red Roving Racer, he is a High-End-level driver with the Coin Box special skill. The blue Roving Racer, "Blue Koopa (Freerunning)", was later introduced in the Summer Tour as a Super-level driver and is a reward for placing high in the ranked cups. His special skill is the Ice Flower.
