TheBiddybuggy (known as theBuggybud in the British English version ofMario Kart 8 andMario Kart World) is akart from theMario Kart series. It resembles aPara-Biddybud with wing-shaped exhaust pipes that move back and forth, as if flapping. The emblem is located on the forehead.
History[edit]
Mario Kart series[edit]
Mario Kart 8 /Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]
InMario Kart 8, the Biddybuggy appears as a starter kart body part. It offers a large acceleration and handling boost at the cost of hampering ground speed, anti-gravity speed, weight, and traction. It also excels strongly with the water speed, air speed, water handling, air handling, and mini-turbo stats. The Biddybuggy shares its stats with theLandship andMr. Scooty.
InMario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Biddybuggy's stats have been altered. Its acceleration boost is weaker, but it now offers a small traction boost. It is also far less efficient with the water speed and air speed stats, while the anti-gravity speed is not as weak as inMario Kart 8. The Biddybuggy is still one of the lightest vehicle bodies in the game, and its ground speed remains unchanged, but it now only shares its stats with the Mr. Scooty, as the Landship's stat spread is different in this game.
When idling, the Biddybuggy's engine sound is unique, but when accelerating, it has a slightly higher pitched version of that of theStandard Kart,Pipe Frame,Teddy Buggy,Sneeker,Gold Standard, andWild Wiggler. The engine sounds like a rally inline-four engine.
InMario Kart 8, the CPU-controlled baby characters andLakitu will occasionally use this body, with the babies using theStandard tires and Lakitu also using theMonster tires occasionally. InMario Kart 8 Deluxe, a CPULudwig, male and femaleVillager, andIsabelle are also seen occasionally using this body during races, with Ludwig using theRoller tires and theAnimal Crossing characters using the Standard tires.
Although it is available right from the start inMario Kart 8, inMario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Biddybuggy is an unlockable vehicle body that can be acquired by collecting coins. The Biddybuggy also appears in the scenery ofGBA Ribbon Road, along with theTeddy Buggy andStandard Kart.
Color schemes[edit]
The Biddybuggy changes color depending on which character is using it; however, there are only five color schemes: red, green, pink, yellow and blue, to reflect the five colors of Para-Biddybuds.
| Color | Characters |
|---|---|
 Red |                             |
 Green |                    |
 Pink |                    |
 Yellow |                             |
 Blue |                                     |
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
The Biddybuggy returns inMario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a Normal kart. It uses theStandard tires fromMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe. Unlike before, it only has the red color scheme no matter what driver is using it, and its wings no longer move. The blue color scheme is used for a variant of the kart called theBlue Biddybuggy, which also has the Normal classification. The Biddybuggy increases the duration ofSlipstream boosts and the amount of points awarded for performing Slipstreams.
The Biddybuggy is a common item in regular tour pipes and appears in the Daily Selects lineup. Throughout the game's history, it could be obtained in other ways as well, shown below by tour.

| Sydney Tour (April–May 2021) | Tour gift 60 Grand Stars required |

Mario Kart World[edit]
The Biddybuggy returns again inMario Kart World, with it bringing the separate color schemes and moving wings fromMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe. It has a new horn which mimics the voices of Para-Biddybuds.
In terms of stats, the Biddybuggy has great acceleration and above-average handling, but low speed and weight.
This kart is randomly used by the CPU-controlledBaby Mario,Baby Luigi,Baby Peach,Baby Daisy,Baby Rosalina,Cheep Cheep,Para-Biddybud,Spike,Stingby,Penguin, Baby Peach (Pro Racer),Wario (Work Crew), Baby Daisy (Pro Racer), and Baby Rosalina (Pro Racer).
Color schemes[edit]
Like inMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Biddybuggy changes color depending on which character is using it, with the same five color schemes as before: red, green, pink, yellow and blue, to reflect the five colors of Para-Biddybuds; however, some characters have switched colors from the previous game - for example, inMario Kart 8 Deluxe, Dry Bones had a blue Biddybuggy, but in this game, Dry Bones has a pink Biddybuggy.
| Color | Characters |
|---|---|
 Red |           |
 Green |        |
 Pink |            |
 Yellow |                |
 Blue |                |
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
The Biddybuggy appears as aprimary spirit inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Thespirit depicts itsMario Kart 8 artwork featuringBaby Rosalina. The spirit has one support slot, and it increases a fighter's ground mobility and jump stats at the cost of reduced weight. In the spirit's battle, the player faces a tiny-sizedRosalina andLuma on the Battlefield version ofMario Circuit. The music that plays during the battle is the music ofCloudtop Cruise fromMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe; this ties with the spirit's image, as in said games, the 150cc staff ghost for Cloudtop Cruise is Baby Rosalina on the Biddybuggy.
