A car is an obstacle that frequently appears in the Mario Kart series. Cars appear on stages set on roads, such as Mushroom City, and will follow the road with the rest of the other traffic. The effect of hitting a Red Car has the same effect as hitting a Banana, causing the player to spin out. They cannot be destroyed or removed, but can be launched into the air by driving into them while using a Super Star, Bullet Bill, Chain Chomp, Super Horn or Mega Mushroom, or by throwing a Bowser Shell at them. Cars may also honk their horns if they hit an item or the player.

History

Mario Kart 64

Cars first appear in Mario Kart 64, where they only appear on the course Toad's Turnpike. The cars on this course are white and share the same engine sound as Toad's Kart.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Cars reappear in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, where they appear in two courses, Mushroom Bridge and Mushroom City. The game features normal red, yellow and blue cars, with "POW" on their license plates, as well as Bomb-cars and Mushroom Cars.

Mario Kart DS

Cars also appear in Mario Kart DS, in Shroom Ridge and the returning retro course GCN Mushroom Bridge. Both courses feature red, yellow and blue cars. However, in GCN Mushroom Bridge, the Mushroom Cars and Bomb-cars have now been removed.

In Mission 4-3, Mario must race against a red car to the finish line on Shroom Ridge. This car moves much faster than cars normally move.

Mario Kart Wii

Cars appear again in Mario Kart Wii, where they appear in Moonview Highway and Coconut Mall. The former course features blue, red and yellow cars, with "POW" on their number plates, and are nearly the same as the cars from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! However, if the player hits a car head on, the player will be squashed by the car in the same way as being run over by someone with a Mega Mushroom, and will have a lower speed and drive flat for a short while, and hitting the back or side of a car will cause the player to flip over. Bomb-cars also return, now under the name "Bob-omb Cars." In the latter course, moving cars appear at the parking lot near the finish line.

Mario Kart 7

Cars also appear in Mario Kart 7, on the Wuhu Loop and Wii Coconut Mall courses. On the former course, there are only blue cars.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Red and black cars appear on the retro tracks N64 Toad's Turnpike in Mario Kart 8 as well as DS Shroom Ridge and Wii Coconut Mall in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The boxy design of the cars resembles the typical styling of real-world cars from the 1980s. Yellow taxis with blue details and Green Shell Taxi branding also appear on both courses and function identically to the cars. The cars in Coconut Mall also no longer move.

Mario Kart Tour

A taxi variant can be found on all of the New York Minute courses as a wall. The taxi variant also appears as an obstacle in New York Minute 2T and New York Minute 4. Moving cars also return in Wii Coconut Mall.
