The Cat Cruiser is an unlockable kart in Mario Kart 8. It's based on the Cat power-up in Super Mario 3D World, as the kart itself resembles a cat, with the grill resembling whiskers. The Cat Cruiser's coloration is pink and its grill and base color is cream. Its seat is shaped like a cat's paw and is light pink and deep purple, which is the same color as the steering wheel. It also has two orange-colored blinker lights.
It offers no stats, meaning 't gives no effect to the driver's performance. Its stats are identical to the Standard Kart.
A CPU-controlled Peach and Baby Peach may sometimes use this vehicle body, often paired with the Blue Standard, though the former may also use the Retro Off-Road tires with it.
In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Cat Peach, Toadette and Peachette occasionally use this kart body paired with the Retro Off-Road tires, while Daisy uses it with the Standard tires instead. The 200cc staff ghost for GBA Ribbon Road has Isabelle ride this body kart with Crimson Slim tires and the Paper Glider.
Unlike in the original game, the Cat Cruiser now shares its stats with the Teddy Buggy and Yoshi Bike. It's stats are changed, now having an increase in Acceleration and Handling.
