The Inkstriker is one of three new vehicles that players are able to choose in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This ATV is based on the Inkstrike special in the original Splatoon game. It is unlocked when a certain number of coins are collected, but it is randomized. It offers good weight and traction, but poor acceleration and handling. Its stats are identical to the Mach 8 and Sports Coupe.

Description

King Boo and an Inkling modeling the Inkstriker.

The basic concept of the Inkstriker is that the player is sitting on a potential missile with wheels. So it might not be the safest ATV to choose from, but it definitely does look cool. The warhead of the Inkstriker is colored red and has two eye-like designs on either side of it. The frame of the bomb extends for about 2.5 feet and is colored white. The player's logo can be seen here, and this is also the seating/steering section of the vehicle. Moving to the back, the Inkstriker turns green (so it might be a little Mexican, maybe?) with 4 propelling fins on the back, giving it a WWII torpedo look. Variable colored (depending on the driver) jet engines adorn the back of the vehicle, and on the very bottom are a few pipes for some machinery that only mechanics could understand.

Trivia!

• The Inkstriker and the Splat Buggy are the only two Splatoon vehicles so far.
• They are also rare in the fact that they're ATVs.
• The ink changes color when you use Inklings (blue for male and orange for female).
  • The Inkstriker's engine creates an explosion sound effect if the vehicle drives over a boost pad or while the driver uses a Mushroom.
