Streamliner

Template:Kart-infobox The Streamliner is a kart in the Mario Kart series. It is shaped like an early 1970s Porsche 917/10 Can-Am prototype, and is blue with a white stripe going vertically across. The emblem is located on the sides and hood of the kart.

In Mario Kart 7, there is a customizable kart piece named the Blue Seven, which has a somewhat similar color scheme.

History

Mario Kart DS

The Streamliner first appears in Mario Kart DS as Luigi's second original kart. It has above-average speed tying with the Standard DS and Zipper. It also has high acceleration tying with the B Dasher, Standard MR, Royale, Standard PC, Standard LG and Light Dancer, and high handling tying with the Mushmellow, Standard LG, Standard TD, Standard RB and ROB-BLS, along with low drift (equal to the Standard RB, ROB-BLS, Standard LG and Poltergust 4000), and a high items ratio. Its weight is tied with the B Dasher, Brute, Royale, Standard DK, Standard WL and Zipper.

Dry Bones and R.O.B. can use the kart once all Nitro or Retro Grand Prix cups have been won in 150cc. For any character to use it, one must obtain gold in all cups in 150cc Mirror Mode.

Mario Kart Tour

The Streamliner reappears in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a Super kart. It uses the Standard tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and offers extended Slipstream boosts while granting additional points for performing them.

The kart has been slightly updated from its original appearance, now having a spoiler, the exhaust pipes being closer together, as well as an engine block that has the emblem on it between the exhaust pipes.

The game introduces three variants, a red variant simply called the Red Streamliner, a dark blue variant with decals known as the Decal Streamliner, and an orange variant, also with decals, simply called the Orange Streamliner. The former kart also has the Super classification, while the latter two karts have the High-End classification instead.
