The '''Bolt Buggy''' is a [[kart]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It resembles the [[Pipe Frame]] with a yellow chassis similar to [[Donkey Kong]]'s color scheme and a pair of headlights in the front. The emblem is located on the back of the kart. The [[Varmint]] from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' has a similar design to this vehicle.
The '''Bolt Buggy''' is a [[kart]] body part that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. It boosts speed, weight, and off-road, but its acceleration and handling are hindered during the process. It is one of the only five karts to increase off-road boost, with the other four being the [[Bumble V]], [[Cact-X]], [[Pipe Frame]], and [[Tiny Tug]]. Also, the Bolt Buggy is tied with the [[B Dasher]] and [[Blue Seven]] for the lowest acceleration of all kart bodies.

==History==
===''Mario Kart 7''===
The Bolt Buggy first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as a default kart body part. It boosts speed, weight, and off-road, but its acceleration and handling are hindered during the process. It is one of the only five karts to increase off-road boost, with the other four being the [[Bumble V]], [[Cact-X]], Pipe Frame, and [[Tiny Tug]]. Also, the Bolt Buggy is tied with the [[B Dasher]] and [[Blue Seven]] for the lowest acceleration of all kart bodies. The engine sound is actually a lower-pitched version of several karts from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', such as the [[Poltergust 4000]], [[ROB-LGS]] and [[Zipper (kart)|Zipper]]. It also sounds similar to the [[Koopa King]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and a {{wp|BMW M3|BMW M3 GT2}} 4.0L {{wp|V8 engine}}. It has the lowest calculated stat total of all kart bodies.
 
===''Mario Kart Tour''===
The Bolt Buggy appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a tour-exclusive Super kart. It was added to the game in the [[Jungle Tour]] and is the signature kart of [[Funky Kong]]. The kart uses the [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', and offers longer-lasting [[Slipstream]] boosts and increases the number of points earned for performing Slipstreams.
 
The kart also has a black and red variant called the [[Dark Buggy]] and a green and blue variant called the [[Green Lightning]], and both of them are classified as High-End karts.
 
Starting from the [[Battle Tour]], the Bolt Buggy has been available in regular pipes and is currently a part of the Daily Selects set. The following table shows the kart's availability by tour.

History[edit]

Mario Kart 7[edit]

The Bolt Buggy first appears in Mario Kart 7 as a default kart body part. It boosts speed, weight, and off-road, but its acceleration and handling are hindered during the process. It is one of the only five karts to increase off-road boost, with the other four being the Bumble V, Cact-X, Pipe Frame, and Tiny Tug. Also, the Bolt Buggy is tied with the B Dasher and Blue Seven for the lowest acceleration of all kart bodies. The engine sound is actually a lower-pitched version of several karts from Mario Kart DS, such as the Poltergust 4000, ROB-LGS and Zipper. It also sounds similar to the Koopa King from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and a BMW M3 GT2 4.0L V8 engine. It has the lowest calculated stat total of all kart bodies.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The Bolt Buggy appears in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a tour-exclusive Super kart. It was added to the game in the Jungle Tour and is the signature kart of Funky Kong. The kart uses the Monster tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and offers longer-lasting Slipstream boosts and increases the number of points earned for performing Slipstreams.

The kart also has a black and red variant called the Dark Buggy and a green and blue variant called the Green Lightning, and both of them are classified as High-End karts.

Starting from the Battle Tour, the Bolt Buggy has been available in regular pipes and is currently a part of the Daily Selects set. The following table shows the kart's availability by tour.
