Prancer

Template:Kart-infobox The Prancer is an unlockable kart that appears in Mario Kart 8. It is a salmon-colored body shaped like a pumpkin with two mechanical white horses located at the front that move up and down while the kart is moving, referencing the pumpkin coach featured in Cinderella. The emblem is located on the sides of the kart. It grants drivers no change to the stats of the vehicle, similar to the Standard Kart, the Cat Cruiser, the Sneeker, The Duke, the Teddy Buggy and the 300 SL Roadster.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the vehicle's stats have been altered, and it now shares its stats with the Sport Bike and the Jet Bike, which are inside-drifting bikes. CPU Peach and Cat Peach can be occasionally seen riding this kart body paired with Wood tires.

The Prancer reappears in Mario Kart Tour as a tour-exclusive High-End kart in the Flower Tour. Unlike in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the horses no longer move. Performing Slipstreams grants more points when using this kart. It uses the Wood tires from the aforementioned games. It is the only High-End spotlight kart in Mario Kart Tour that is neither a new variation of a past kart nor a new kart all together. It also has a variant called the Gilded Prancer, which debuted in the Ice Tour as a tour-exclusive High-End kart. This makes the Prancer one of only two karts that were introduced after variants of them were; the other was the Dasher II, a variation of the Cucumber from Mario Kart DS.
