Bolt Buggy
Template:Kart-infobox The Bolt Buggy is a kart body part that appears in Mario Kart 7. The kart resembles Pipe Frame with yellow chassis and a pair of headlights in the front, as well as a more powerful engine sound. It boosts speed, weight, and off-road, but its acceleration and handling are hindered during the process. It is one of the only five karts to increase off-road boost, with the other four being the Bumble V, Cact-X, Pipe Frame, and Tiny Tug. Also, the Bolt Buggy is tied with the B Dasher and Blue Seven for the lowest acceleration of all kart bodies.
