In Mario Kart Tour, the Koopa King has the rear seat removed, the character's emblem in place where the Bowser symbols originally were, and has four wheels instead of six.

Color variants[]

Mario Kart Tour introduced a few color variants of the Koopa King, all of which are High-End classification; the Gilded King, the Holiday King, and the Silver King.

Statistics[]

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![]

According to the in-game stats, the Koopa King is the fastest kart in Double Dash!!, but has the lowest acceleration, which is not a good choice for courses such as Luigi Circuit and Baby Park. It's also the heaviest kart in the game, next to the Piranha Pipes and Boo Pipes.

However, in actual stats, although the Koopa King offers high speed and low acceleration, it loses a lot of speed when it goes offroad, sharing this trait with Bowser Jr.'s kart, the Bullet Blaster.
