P-Wing (kart)

Template:Kart-infobox The P-Wing is a DLC kart body in Mario Kart 8 from the DLC pack Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8. It is the spiritual successor to the Wild Wing from Mario Kart Wii, considering both are speedy karts built in the shape of "exotic"-type sports cars and both have wing-themes. Its namesake is referenced by wing patterns which can be seen in the front and sides of the kart, and the power-up icon appears in the front. The emblem is located on the hood and the exhaust pipes are located below the tailfins. When the kart enters anti-gravity, the back parts of the kart jut out over the wheels, and the power-up icon flashes gold (as in New Super Mario Bros. 2). The P-Wing has the same stats as the Mach 8, Circuit Special, Sports Coupe, Gold Standard, and B Dasher.

Its engine sound is a variation of the Circuit Special, Sports Coupe, Mach 8, and B Dasher. Also like the aforementioned karts, the P-Wing has a supercharger, which can be heard while accelerating.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it can be randomly unlocked by collecting coins. CPU Mario, Larry, and Bowser Jr. can be seen driving this kart body with the Blue Standard tires and Parafoil glider.

The P-Wing returns in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a High-End kart. Mini-Turbos last longer and yield more points when using this kart. It uses the Blue Standard tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. As anti-gravity does not exist in the game, the back parts of the P-Wing do not extend.
