The Boo Pipes is an unlockable kart which appears in the Mario Kart series. It first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.

Description[]

In Mario Kart Double Dash!!, the Boo Pipes is modelled exactly after Petey Piranha's Piranha Pipes, but the color scheme differs. The pipes are gunmetal gray, the railings on the bars for the backseat racer's pipe are magenta, and the kart's tires are black with a silver rim. The emblem on the second pipe bares King Boo's emblem.

In Mario Kart Tour, the second pipe is removed, and there is only one bar behind the kart. The bar is also red, the pipe is recolored black, and the kart itself has more detailing.

The Boo Pipes' artwork

In its debut game, the Boo Pipes are unlocked by placing first in the 150cc Mirror Special Cup. Unusual with heavyweight karts in the game, the Boo Pipes has rather low speed, but good acceleration, the same characteristics of lightweight drivers. However, it is still one of the heaviest karts in the game, among the Koopa King and Piranha Pipes. Its speed and acceleration also rival with the Rattle Buggy and Koopa Dasher. It shares the same engine sound with the Heart Coach, Bloom Coach, and Piranha Pipes.

In races, when the CPU controlled King Boo is racing and gets hit by an item to make him drag, then he is much slower then 4 star acceleration.

In Mario Kart Tour[]

The Boo Pipes return amongside the Piranha Pipes during the Pipe Tour, making it 20 years since both karts made an appearance within the series. The Boo Pipes increases the duration of Slipstream boosts and the points earned for getting them.
