The Bruiser, known as the Growlster in the British English localizations of Mario Kart 7, is a kart appearing in the Mario Kart series.
Description[]
The Bruiser has a black body. There are spikes on the front sides. On the front center of the kart is a monster-looking face, with the eyes serving as headlights. There are four, light yellow-gold exhaust pipes. The character's emblem is located on the hood.
Mario Kart series[]
In Mario Kart 7[]
The Bruiser as it appears in-game.
The Bruiser makes its debut in the Mario Kart series, in the Nintendo 3DS title, Mario Kart 7. The Kart can be unlocked by collecting a certain amount of coins.
The Bruiser gives a boost to speed and weight, but hinders acceleration and handling. The Bruiser is tied with the B Dasher, Zucchini and Blue Seven for providing the highest speed boost. The Bruiser has a slightly higher acceleration boost than the B Dasher and Blue Seven, however.
The Bruiser is considered to be Wario's personal kart in the game, as while controlled by a computer racer, he may often use this kart body. He is even seen using the Bruiser in promotional screenshots of the game. A computer-controlled Shy Guy may also use the Bruiser frequently.
Wario uses the Bruiser with Slim tires and Beast Glider for the Expert Staff Ghosts in courses Wario Shipyard and DS Waluigi Pinball.
In Mario Kart Tour[]

The Bruiser returns in Mario Kart Tour, after nearly eight years of absence. The Bruiser is equipped with Slim tires in the game.
