Pickup trucks,[citation needed] often simply called trucks,[1] appear as vehicles alongside other traffic in the Mario Kart series. They differ from cargo trucks and buses in that they are much smaller, and from cars in that their beds may contain objects that can affect a race.
History[edit]
Mario Kart 7[edit]
In Mario Kart 7, yellow-colored three-wheeled trucks appear on Wuhu Loop. They act the same as the cars on the same course and are a similar size to them. Additionally, the stationary vehicle that appears on Maka Wuhu at the beginning of the track can either appear as a car or as a pickup truck.
Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]
Moving pickup trucks appear on the retro track N64 Toad's Turnpike in Mario Kart 8 as well as DS Shroom Ridge, Tour Berlin Byways, and Wii Moonview Highway in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass, although they are absent in the Battle Mode version of N64 Toad's Turnpike in Mario Kart 8. Each of them has a surfboard atop them that they drag along, which functions as a ramp that racers can drive up and trick off of, like with a dash panel ramp truck. If a player hits any kind of truck, they will not lose their item, and if they were not driving fast enough they will not flip out either. The vehicles themselves are purple with Super Marine World, Waluigi Sea Bed, and Cheep Cheep Beach stickers on them, while the surfboards are yellow with a red flame pattern at the end and a Red Shell Strike Equipment sticker on them. In this game, pickup trucks are immune to Super Horns.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
Moving pickup trucks appear on DS Shroom Ridge and its R variant, and Tour Berlin Byways as well as the latter course's R and T variants. As with their Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe appearances, some pickup trucks carry a surfboard that acts as a ramp, with one or two additional coins on top of it for drivers to collect. These trucks are orange, and their surfboards are white with two arrow decals near their tip, pointing forward. On Berlin Byways 3, DS Shroom Ridge, and DS Shroom Ridge R, pink-colored pickup trucks each carry a Piranha Plant which lunges at racers from a pipe casing. On Berlin Byways 3R, the pickup truck is empty.
Stationary pickup trucks also appear on DS Shroom Ridge R/T, Sydney Sprint T, Bangkok Rush 3, and Madrid Drive 3R/T. In each instance, the pickup trucks are pink. On Shroom Ridge R/T and Bangkok Rush 3, they carry surfboards. On Bangkok Rush 3, they are used as ramps to reach the roof of parked tuk-tuks. Their design is different from that of the trucks in Berlin Byways 3, and it is closer to their Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe design; the vehicles are pink-colored and the surfboards have a yellow color fading to black with a white flame pattern at the top. On Sydney Sprint T, the pickup truck is empty. On Madrid Drive 3R/T, they carry Inky Piranha Plants. Numerous other courses and course variants feature stationary trucks outside the track.
Mario Kart World[edit]
This section is referring to a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this section may need major rewriting.
This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.
Moving pickup trucks return in Mario Kart World alongside the other traffic found throughout the world. Some trucks once again drag ramps (including surfboards) that racers can perform tricks off of, and some instead carry Piranha Plants in their beds. However, there are also many new obstacles and course elements that can occupy the trucks' beds, including:
- A Fire Piranha Plant
- A Spike
- A Hammer Bro
- A Fire Bro
- A Boomerang Bro
- A Banzai Bill Cannon
- A Barrel Cannon
- A vending machine, which may drop a golden fast food bag containing a food item.
In each case, the rest of the truck itself maintains the same appearance and function. The windows of the pickup trucks have transparent glass enabling their drivers to be seen for the first time.
