Soda Jet

History
Mario Kart 7
The Soda Jet debuts in Mario Kart 7 as an unlockable kart part that offers a speed and acceleration boost, while hindering weight and off-road very slightly.
In gameplay, the CPU-controlled Koopa Troopa and Bowser can occasionally be seen driving a kart with this body, using the Paraglider and either the Mushroom or Wood tires for Koopa Troopa, or the Standard tires for Bowser.
Mario Kart Tour
The Soda Jet returns in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a Super kart. It uses the Sponge tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It increases the speed boosts and points resulted from Mini-Turbos. The game introduces a blue variant named the Blue Soda, which is classified as a High-End kart.
The Soda Jet can normally be obtained from the Shop's pipes and Daily Selects. It was also available as a tour gift for Gold Pass subscribers after earning 120 Grand Stars in the Marine Tour.
