A Remote-Controlled Clown Car[1] is an item in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. A Remote-Controlled Clown Car is a type of Koopa Clown Car that Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad get to use. This item is used only in World 6-
Airship, and even then, it is used only to fight Bowser Jr. A Remote-Controlled Clown Car highly resembles a usual Clown Car, except it has either Mario's red M, Luigi's green L, or a Blue or Yellow Mushroom logo on it depending on the player; it has a "?" symbol on it beforehand. The only known attack as of now that a Remote-Controlled Clown Car can use is a spin attack similar to that of an airborne Spin Jump and crashing into Bowser Jr. by trying to shove him into the electric rails. The player must shake the Wii Remote in order to use this attack.
In Mario Party 9, two minigames have players use vehicles very similar to Remote-Controlled Clown Cars. In Bumper Sparks, the vehicles are used to bump into Bowser Jr. to try to get him to hit the electric barrier, like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In Pair of Aces, they are equipped with cannons.
