Daytripper: Difference between revisions

The '''Daytripper''', known as the '''Royal Racer''' in British English, is a [[kart]] from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. The vehicle resembles an old-fashioned and decorated horse-drawn coach, with its rear tires larger than the front. The emblem is located on the sides and back of the kart. Its American English name is a reference to the Beatles' song "{{wp|Day Tripper}}", and its Spanish name references the lyrics "''She was a daytripper, Sunday driver yeah''".

The Daytripper first appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as a medium-sized Handling-type kart. It can be unlocked by winning the 150cc [[Leaf Cup]] or by playing 2,700 races. The kart features great handling along with decent weight, acceleration, off-road, and [[Mini-Turbo]]. However, its speed and drifting are below average. It shares the same weight as the Standard Kart M, the same acceleration as the [[Standard Bike S]] and the [[Wario Bike]], and the same off-road as the [[Quacker]]. However, it is the slowest medium kart in the game and its drifting is the same as the [[Magikruiser]], while its speed and mini-turbo are tied with the [[Cheep Charger]]. Its bike counterpart is the [[Sugarscoot]], while its small and large counterparts are the [[Booster Seat]] and [[Offroader]] respectively. This and the Sugarscoot are the only medium vehicles with a speed stat of less than thirty-five. Its stat total is 323 stat points. It will be able to drift on normal off-road terrain if [[Yoshi]], [[Birdo]], [[Bowser Jr.]] or a [[Mii]] drives it.

The Daytripper returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a Super kart. It uses the [[Wood]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', although footage of the [[Yoshi's Egg]] item from the official ''Mario Kart Tour'' Twitter account shows it with the [[Slick]] tires from the aforementioned games instead.<ref>mariokarttourEN (September 29, 2019).

The Daytripper increases the duration of [[Dash Panel]] boosts and the amount of points earned for using Dash Panels.

|desc=You may think it doesn't look like a racer. You may think it would look more at home on a carousel. But Peach will have the last laugh as she sails past the finish line, leaving you in the dust. The Daytripper's great handling lets it breeze through even the trickiest of courses—and what it lacks in speed, it makes up for in acceleration.
