History[edit]

Mario Kart series[edit]

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

The Offroader debuts inMario Kart Wii as a large kart, featuring decent acceleration and high handling but below average speed. These traits, unusual among other large karts, make it similar to theBoo Pipes fromMario Kart: Double Dash!!, another heavy vehicle with lightweight qualities. The Offroader's highest strength is its weight, but its off-road capabilities are average although the highest of all other karts in its class. However, even withDry Bowser's off-road bonus, its off-road still cannot drift on normal off-road terrain.

The Offroader has the worst drifting among all karts in the game and has the second worst drift in the game behind thePhantom, so even withWaluigi's drift bonus, its drift will still be one point below that of theDolphin Dasher. It is also the slowest large kart in the game, so even withFunky Kong's speed bonus, its speed will only tie with that of theMagikruiser,Standard Bike M, and Phantom. However, the Offroader has the best acceleration and handling out of all the large karts, with the former being tied with theStandard Kart S and the latter being tied with theClassic Dragster, and it is the second heaviest vehicle in the game, as only thePiranha Prowler surpasses it in this aspect. As such, it can easily push around lighter vehicles, and it jumps at the second lowest angle out of any vehicle in the game. It features the same speed and off-road as theStandard Bike S, and itsbike counterpart is theWario Bike, though thePhantom also has a similar drift stat.

The Offroader's rough small and medium counterparts are theBooster Seat andDaytripper, respectively. The Offroader also has the highest stat total out of any large kart in the game, having 311 stat points. Additionally, this and the Wario Bike are the only large vehicles in the game with a speed stat of less than forty, and it and the Phantom are the only vehicles in the game with a drift stat of less than twenty; it is the only kart in the game with a drift stat of less than twenty.

If Bowser rides the Offroader, it will pass the Piranha Prowler's default weight stat by two points. Similarly, if Wario or Donkey Kong ride the Offroader, its weight will tie with the Piranha Prowler's default weight.

Dry Bowser drove this vehicle in thesecond March 2009 tournament.

You may wonder why this kart is called the Offroader when its off-road ability is so average. But a true off-roader is a kart that can take on the world and survive—and this kart fits that description to a tee. It handles like a king, and if other karts try to ram into it, they'll be the ones crying. It has just one big weakness...drifting.(American English)
