The Daytripper (Royal Racer in PAL regions) is a Medium unlockable Kart in Mario Kart Wii. It is one of the three unlockable karts in the Medium class along with the Super Blooper (Turbo Blooper) and the Sprinter (B Dasher Mk. 2). It resembles a small carriage without a roof, with low speed, but impressive Acceleration, Handling, and Mini-Turbo. It is Peach's signature vehicle, and its bike-counterpart is the Sugarscoot.
It also appears in Mario Kart Tour.
Description[]
The Daytripper takes the look of a small, open top carriage with a white seat. It has a round front which ascends downwards. It has 4 wheels with thin tires, with the rear wheels being larger. The sides bear a royal-style pattern, and have wings at the rear. Below the back of the body is two exhaust pipes.
The kart looks similar to the Heart Coach and Bloom Coach in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, especially when Peach or Daisy drive it.

The Daytripper is low on Speed, making it the slowest kart in the Medium class, with the slowest Medium vehicle being the Sugarscoot. Its weight is average though, and the kart has weak drifting. To make up, it has high Acceleration, Handling and Mini-Turbo, and decent Off-Road.
It shares its Speed and Mini-Turbo with the Cheep Charger, its Weight with the Standard Kart M, its Acceleration with the Standard Bike S, its Drift with the Magikruiser, and its Off-Road with the Quacker.
