A '''Bus''' is an obstacle that frequently appears in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Buses appear in stages set on roads, such as [[Mushroom Bridge]], and will drive around the stage with the other traffic. If the player gets hit by a bus, it will have the same effect as driving into a [[Banana#Mario Kart series|Banana]], causing the player to spin out. Buses can not be destroyed or removed, but can be launched into the air by hitting them while using a [[Super Star]], [[Bullet Bill]] or [[Chain Chomp]], or by throwing a [[Bowser Shell]] at them. The buses may also honk their horns at the player after hitting them or being hit by an item.

A Bus is an obstacle that frequently appears in the Mario Kart series. Buses appear in stages set on roads, such as Mushroom Bridge, and will drive around the stage with the other traffic. If the player gets hit by a bus, it will have the same effect as driving into a Banana, causing the player to spin out. Buses can not be destroyed or removed, but can be launched into the air by hitting them while using a Super Star, Bullet Bill or Chain Chomp, or by throwing a Bowser Shell at them. The buses may also honk their horns at the player after hitting them or being hit by an item.

One of the buses is blue and features the Star Travel logo on the back and side, and also has the company's name on the front of the bus. The number plate features the letters "STR". The other bus is pink and includes Peach Beach logos in the place of the Star Travel ones, and its number plate instead reads "SUN".
