Biddybuggy
The Biddybuggy, known as the Buggybud in Europe and Australia, is a starter kart body part that appears in Mario Kart 8 that resembles a Para-Biddybud. It changes color depending on which character is using it, however, there are only 5 color schemes: pink, red, blue, green, and yellow. It offers a large acceleration and a handling boost at the cost of hampering speed, weight, and traction. It shares its stats with the Landship and Mr. Scooty.
The CPU-controlled baby characters and Lakitu will occasionally use this body, often paired with the Standard tires, though Lakitu may also use the Monster tires with it.
