The first appearance of the Koopa Clown Car was in ''[[Super Mario World]]''; in the [[Valley of Bowser]], Bowser can be seen flying around [[Bowser's Castle|his castle]] in it. After making his way through Bowser's Castle and onto the rooftop of it, [[Mario]] proceeds to battle Bowser, who rides around in the Koopa Clown Car. Attacking Mario by dropping [[Metal ball|Big Steelies]] and [[Mechakoopa]]s on him, Bowser can be injured only by having a jumped-on Mechakoopa thrown at him when he sticks his head out of the Koopa Clown Car. After being hit by Mechakoopas several times, Bowser tries to use the Koopa Clown Car, whose face grows more sinister and manic, to crush Mario. Bowser also begins dropping [[Fire Breath|Flame]]s from the Koopa Clown Car. [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] tosses Mario a [[Super Mushroom]]. After being hit six times by flung Mechakoopas, Bowser and the Koopa Clown Car are beaten; he then relinquishes Princess Toadstool from it and retreats. The Koopa Clown Car here is able to blink and show other facial expressions with its eyes. | The first appearance of the Koopa Clown Car was in ''[[Super Mario World]]''; in the [[Valley of Bowser]], Bowser can be seen flying around [[Bowser's Castle|his castle]] in it.

The Clown Car re-appears in the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The [[Koopalings]] can be seen riding in it together. In the corridors of the final castle in World 6 (and World Star), the Koopalings are seen "flashing" with the Koopa Clown Car's eyes. Mario can evade said "flash" by passing between the castle's pillars. If the flash touches Mario, he will be turned into stone. After Mario defeats Bowser for the first time, the Koopalings use their magic to enlarge Bowser, but in doing so they and the Clown Car get knocked into the lava. The Koopa Clown Car was used one final time in the ending, where the Koopalings attempted to carry Bowser with it. However, because Bowser's size exceeded its capacity, the Koopalings and Bowser were scattered throughout the trees and floor. The Koopa Clown Car was also revealed to have an autopilot function, as demonstrated when the Koopa Clown Car delivered a caged Princess Peach to Bowser's castle shortly after [[Ludwig von Koopa]]'s defeat at the hands of Mario in the game. | The Clown Car re-appears in the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

Machines similar to the Koopa Clown Car make an appearance in [[Neo Bowser Castle]] as [[Dreampoint]]s, and the actual machine appears in the ending, where Bowser and his minions use it to escape [[Pi'illo Island]], only for it to start losing altitude due to [[Private Goomp]] and [[Sergeant Guy]] shaking it in an attempt to catch the raining coins. In this game, the Clown Car is not bowl-shaped as it has been in previous games, but has a flat surface level with the rim on which the rider stands.
