Appears in | Mario Kart: Double Dash!! |
The Boo Pipes is King Boo's signature kart in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It is a gray variant of Petey Piranha's Piranha Pipes, and can be unlocked by completing the Special Cup in Mirror Mode.
Unlike most heavyweight karts, the Boo Pipes is unique for having traits similar to that of a lightweight kart; low top speed and high acceleration. However, the Boo Pipes is heavy enough to rival the weight of the Koopa King and Piranha Pipes. The Boo Pipes, Piranha Pipes, Heart Coach, and Bloom Coach share the same engine sound.
The Boo Pipes has one of the best acceleration stats in the game, being tied alongside the Rattle Buggy and Koopa Dasher; it is also tied with those two karts in terms of top speed. Lastly, when compared to all the other heavyweight karts, the Boo Pipes loses the least amount of speed whenever it goes off-road.
The Boo Pipes returns in Mario Kart Tour starting in the Pipe Tour
