History[edit]
Mario Kart 7[edit]
The Soda Jet debuts inMario Kart 7 as an unlockable kart part that offers a speed and acceleration boost, while hindering weight and off-road very slightly.
In gameplay, the CPU-controlledKoopa Troopa andBowser have a higher chance of driving a kart with this body, using theParaglider and either theMushroom orWood tires for Koopa Troopa, or theStandard tires for Bowser. In terms of hidden stats, the Soda Jet excels poorly underwater, but strongly in the air. In fact, the Soda Jet has one of the best air speeds of all kart bodies, being tied with the Pipe Frame and Cloud 9 for air speed, and the Cloud 9 for air handling.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
The Soda Jet returns inMario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a Super kart. It uses theSponge tires fromMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe and increases the duration ofMini-Turbo speed boosts and the number of points resulted from Mini-Turbos. The game introduces a blue variant named theBlue Soda, which is classified as a High-End kart.
The Soda Jet can normally be obtained from the Shop's pipes and Daily Selects. It was also available as a tour gift for Gold Pass subscribers after earning 120Grand Stars in theMarine Tour.

Naming[edit]
"Soda Jet" is a play on two meanings of "jet"; the word can refer to a stream of liquid or gas (such as soda), or to a plane that uses a jet engine (which itself creates propulsion by expelling heated gas).
