The Mach 8 is a kart from the Mario Kart series. It resembles both a jet with a turbine-shaped grille in the front and the Formula One cars of the 1950s, having a color combination reminiscent of the blue and yellow OSCA Tipo G 4500 with a more intense blue color while sporting a yellow racing stripe and tailfin. Probably because of that, it is represented in the artworks of Mario Kart 8 with Slim tires. The emblem is located on the hood and either side of the tailfin.
History
Mario Kart series
Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
The Mach 8 debuts in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as a kart body. It is a midweight component that offers good speed, but has below average acceleration and poor traction. The front and back of the body illuminate when the body goes into anti-gravity mode. The kart itself shares the same exact stats with the Sports Coupe, Circuit Special, Gold Standard, B Dasher, and P-Wing. The engine is supercharged and can be heard when the kart is moving.
CPU-controlled Luigi may occasionally use this vehicle body, often paired with the Slim tires. In fact, Luigi's main artwork also depicts him driving the Mach 8. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Yoshi is also seen occasionally using this body with the Slim tires. Champion's Tunic Link uses this vehicle as well but is equipped with the Triforce Tires instead.
While the Mach 8 is a starting vehicle body in Mario Kart 8, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe it must be unlocked by collecting coins. Its stats have also changed to slightly boosting weight and traction, while slightly lowering acceleration and handling. It shares stats with only the Sports Coupe and Inkstriker.
Mario Kart Tour
The Mach 8 returns in Mario Kart Tour where it is classified as a Super kart. It uses the Slim tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The kart offers longer-lasting slipstreams and awards bonus points for performing one. The game also introduces a koinobori-styled variant called the Karp Kart, which is classified as a High-End kart.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Luigi's Mach 8 appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an Advanced-type support spirit that takes up two support slots. When the spirit is used in certain spirit battles, the screen will never flip upside down. The spirit's puppet fighter is Luigi on the Mario Circuit stage; during the spirit's assigned battle, every fighter is under the effect of high gravity. The enemy can deal damage by simply running into the player. Other than the Spirit Board, the spirit can be obtained from Funky Kong's Shack for 1,000 Spirit Points at regular price.

Trivia
- Like the Blue Seven, the Mach 8's name could be a reference to the game it originates from, Mario Kart 8. It could also be a reference to the Mach Five from Speed Racer, since both vehicles are made for racing.
