The '''Mario Car''' (or '''Hero Car''') is an item that is available for use in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and is the first and only [[Koopa Clown Car]] that is usable by the player. The Mario Car is a very small (just a little smaller than [[Bowser Jr.]]'s) type of a [[Koopa Clown Car]] that [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]], and [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]] get to use. This item is only used in [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)#World 6-Airship|World 6-Airship]], and, even then, it is only used to fight Bowser Jr.. The Mario Car highly resembles a usual Clown Car, except that it either has an M, L, or a Blue or Yellow Mushroom logo on it depending on the player. The only known attack as of now that the Mario Car can use is a spin attack similar to that of an airborne [[Spin Jump]] and crashing into Bowser Jr. by trying to shove him into the electricity. The player must shake the Wii remote in order to use this attack.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', the concept of riding a clown car is reused in the final battle. The player must steal Bowser Jr.'s Clown Car and use a [[Ground Pound]]-like attack (the same one Bowser Jr. uses) to defeat [[Bowser]] with it.

The title of this article is from the English Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia, which reportedly sourced some names from fan wikis. If a higher-priority source is found, then the article should be moved to the new title.

This article is about the type of Clown Car that only the player characters can use. For other uses, see Remote-Controlled Clown Car (disambiguation).
Remote-Controlled Clown Car
The Remote-Controlled Clown Car from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
First appearance New Super Mario Bros. Wii (2009)
Variant of Koopa Clown Car

A Remote-Controlled Clown Car[1] is an item in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. A Remote-Controlled Clown Car is a type of Koopa Clown Car that Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad get to use. This item is used only in World 6-Airship, and even then, it is used only to fight Bowser Jr. A Remote-Controlled Clown Car highly resembles a usual Clown Car, except it has either Mario's red M, Luigi's green L, or a Blue or Yellow Mushroom logo on it depending on the player; it has a "?" symbol on it beforehand. The only known attack as of now that a Remote-Controlled Clown Car can use is a spin attack similar to that of an airborne Spin Jump and crashing into Bowser Jr. by trying to shove him into the electric rails. The player must shake the Wii Remote in order to use this attack.

In Mario Party 9, two minigames have players use vehicles very similar to Remote-Controlled Clown Cars. In Bumper Sparks, the vehicles are used to bump into Bowser Jr. to try to get him to hit the electric barrier, like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In Pair of Aces, they are equipped with cannons.
