History[edit]
Mario Kart 7[edit]
They first appear inMario Kart 7 as unlockable tires. They offer good speed, weight, and off-road, while hindering the acceleration and handling stats. Compared to theMonster tires, however, the Red Monster tires' acceleration is increased by a smaller rate, while their weight is slightly lower. They are tied with the Monster tires for the best off-road boost in the game. They are also tied with the Monster tires, theSlick tires, and theGold Tires, for the lowest handling boost. The Red Monster and Monster are the only tires that can drift off-road. In terms of hidden stats, the Red Monster tires share the same sea/air speed and handling stats, while they have a slight boost in mini-turbo. Their drift however, is hindered, unlike the Monster tires.
A similar tire part called theHot Monster appears inMario Kart 8; this tire, however, is statistically identical to the game's Monster tires.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
The Red Monster tires return inMario Kart Tour, where they are used by theRambi Rider. Black-colored tires with the same structure and tread pattern are used by theDozer Dasher and theDark Buggy, silver tires with a different pattern but otherwise the same spokes are used by theRambi Runner andRainbow Pipe Buggy, gold versions are used by theGold Rambi Rider andGold Lunar Cruiser,Mario Kart 8 versions with black treads are used by theDragonfly, and spiky versions are used by theRed Offroader. Unlike theirMario Kart 7 appearance, the Red Monster tires (as well as their derivatives) now have theMario Kart logo printed on them.
