Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The Taiko Drum Dasher is a High-End kart appearing in Mario Kart Tour. Described as "perfect for festivals",[1] it debuted in the 2023 Ninja Tour as the signature kart of Mario (Happi). As its name indicates, the kart's appearance is based on a taiko drum, with exhaust pipes designed to resemble drumsticks and a pair of decorative lanterns on the back. It uses the Banana Master's tires and the driver's emblem is located on the front and back of the kart. The Taiko Drum Dasher increases the duration of Mini-Turbo boosts and the amount of points received for performing a Mini-Turbo.

Availability[edit]

The Taiko Drum Dasher is not currently obtainable from pipes, and it does not currently appear in the Daily Selects lineup. The following table shows the kart's availability by tour.
