P-Wing (kart)
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 sports cars and both have wing-themes. The English name of the kart references its namesake, where wing patterns can be seen in the front and sides of the kart and the power-up icon appears in the front. 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 can be seen driving this kart body with the Blue Standard tires and Parafoil glider.
