- Not to be confused with Steel Diver.
The Steel Driver is a kart in the Mario Kart series. Its name is based on the game Steel Diver. In fact, its Japanese and Italian names are the Steel Diver. It is a submarine-like vehicle with a dark blue top and a red underside. When the kart goes underwater, the propeller appears in the rear guard, much like an actual submarine. The emblem is located on the sides of the kart.
