Template:Kart-infobox The Cheep Charger is an unlockable small-sized kart that appears in Mario Kart Wii. It is a small kart with the shape of a Cheep Cheep with wheels and fin-like wings behind the cab. The characters' emblem appear on the sides of the vehicle. Its bike counterpart is the Quacker. Toad in his Cheep Charger is also seen in a Mario Kart Wii downloadable wallpaper. The Cheep Charger is battery-powered, and just like the Blue Falcon, the battery is located under the kart and can only be seen when the vehicle is flipped.

The Cheep Charger is unlocked when the player attains at least one star rank for all 50cc Retro Grand Prix Cups or wins 1,800 races. The Cheep Charger has the same off-road stat as the Wario Bike.

The Cheep Charger returns in Mario Kart Tour. No matter which character is using it, the Cheep Charger uses the color scheme it uses when Baby Mario is driving it in Mario Kart Wii. It appears to be equipped with the Sponge tires, based on their appearance in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

The Cheep Charger appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a spirit, using the artwork featuring Toad.

Stats

Template:Mkwiistat

The Cheep Charger has the best acceleration among all karts in the game. It also has decent handling, drifting, and Mini-Turbo stats. However, the vehicle's top speed is fairly low (tied with the Daytripper) and it is the lightest kart in the game (its weight is tied with the Bullet Bike and Magikruiser).

Trivia

  • The Cheep Charger was the only unlockable kart revealed before the release of Mario Kart Wii. Toad and Baby Peach were both seen driving it.
  • Dry Bones is the only driver whose Cheep Charger's lips are colored differently than all of the drivers that use pink for the lips. This is due to Dry Bones having a primarily achromatic color scheme.
