Bolt Buggy
Template:Kart-infobox The Bolt Buggy is a default[kart body part that appears with the Wooden tires 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. The engine sound is actually a lower pitched version of several karts from Mario Kart DS, such as the Poltergust 4000, ROB-LGS and Zipper. It also sounds similar to the Koopa King from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
CPUs Bowser,Donkey Kong and Rosalina can occasionally be seen driving in this body with the Sponge tires.
Peach can occasionally be seen driving in this body with the Red Monster tires.
Luigi can occasionally be seen driving in this body with the Mushroom tires.
Koopa Troopa can occasionally be seen driving in this body with the Slim tires.
The Varmint from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has a similar design to this vehicle.
