The '''Badwagon''' is a [[kart]] from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It resembles a hot-pink {{wp|muscle car}} with stereo speakers and a [[Roy Smooth Sounds]] logo on the rear. The emblem is located on the hood. The vehicle's name is a pun on the {{wp|bandwagon effect}}, a psychological phenomenon where individuals more easily conform to a trend set by a larger group of people regardless of contrary evidence.

The Badwagon first appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as a default kart body. Though muscle cars are typically built for speed, the Badwagon does not offer a ground speed boost (though it offers a water speed boost); it excels at weight and traction while acceleration and handling are lowered. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', however, it offers a speed boost on the ground while the water speed is reduced.

While this vehicle body is available right from the start in ''Mario Kart 8'', in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', it must be unlocked by collecting [[coin]]s. CPU [[King Boo]], [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], [[Wario]], and [[Pink Gold Peach]] occasionally use this body during races with the [[Off-Road]] tires.

The Badwagon returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it is classified as a High-End kart. It offers longer-lasting [[Mini-Turbo]] boosts and increases the amount of points earned for performing Mini-Turbos. It uses the [[Retro Off-Road]] tires (although an official screenshot shows it with the [[Pipe Frame]]’s tires instead). Unlike its first appearance, the kart's speakers do not move and the lights do not flash. The game introduces two variants, a blue variant, simply named the [[Blue Badwagon]], and a platinum variant, which is named the [[Grand Badwagon]]. Both are also classified as High-End karts.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Badwagon appears as an Ace-class Shield-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] with two support slots. It is represented by [[Pink Gold Peach]]'s ''Mario Kart 8'' artwork, where she drives a Badwagon. When used, the spirit increases movement speed. Its puppet fighter is a [[Metal Mario (form)|Metal]] [[Princess Peach|Peach]], fought on the [[Mario Circuit (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U)|Mario Circuit]] stage; defeating her in battle will earn the player the spirit. The Badwagon spirit can also be obtained by purchasing it from [[Funky Kong]]'s Shack for 4,000 Spirit Points at standard price.
