Teddy Buggy
The Teddy Buggy is an unlockable ATV body that appears in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It is one of the four ATV's available in the game, with the other three being the Standard ATV, the Wild Wiggler, and the Bone Rattler (DLC 2). Its stats are identical to the Standard Kart, Cat Cruiser, Prancer, Sneeker, The Duke, and the 300 SL Roadster, meaning it does not grant nor decrease any stats. When in anti-gravity mode, the legs turn sideways alongside the wheels equipped with the ATV. It is the most feminine ATV, and isn't used by any male computer-controlled characters. A computer-controlled Baby Peach can commonly be seen in this ATV, and both parts of her trailer on the website and her staff ghost in Sweet Sweet Canyon show her driving it. The female villager is also seen using this body for her staff ghost in Ribbon Road (DLC 2). In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Toadette can also be seen using this ATV.
