The Cloud 9 is a kart from the Mario Kart series. It is shaped like a Lakitu's Cloud, and its name comes from a phrase used to describe the state of euphoria. In Mario Kart 7, the emblem is located on the rear.
History[edit]
Mario Kart series[edit]
Mario Kart 7[edit]
The Cloud 9 first appears in Mario Kart 7 as an unlockable kart body part. It is the signature kart part for Lakitu, but it can also be used by any other character in the game. The kart's acceleration and handling get a boost, while the speed and weight stats are hindered. It is tied with the Birthday Girl and Tiny Tug for having the lowest speed, and it is tied with the Birthday Girl and Koopa Clown for the highest handling of all kart bodies. Also, the Cloud 9 has the highest handling of any kart body that does not have a negative impact on the off-road stat.
In terms of its hidden stats, the Cloud 9 excels pretty well while underwater, and it offers one of the best sea handling stats of any kart body; a trait that it shares with the Tiny Tug. In fact, when compared to all the other kart bodies, the Cloud 9 has the highest stat total in the game. However, despite being based off a Lakitu's Cloud, it does not handle very well while in the air, despite still offering a positive air handling boost.
Its engine sound is similar to that of Toad's and Koopa Troopa's kart from Super Mario Kart, which sounds like an inline-five engine. CPU Rosalina and Lakitu has a preference for this body.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
The Cloud 9 returns in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a Super kart. Unlike in Mario Kart 7, it does not display the emblem on it. It uses the Sponge tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It increases the duration of Jump Boost speed boosts and the number of points resulted from performing Jump Boosts.
The Cloud 9 has a sunset-colored variant called the Sunset Cloud, classified as a High-End kart.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]
The Cloud 9 makes a cameo appearance as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, driven by Lakitu.
