The Offroader is a kart in the Mario Kart series that debuted in Mario Kart Wii as a Large kart. It reassembles a Sandrail, with average/decent stats as well as very high Weight and very low Drift in this game. It also appears in Mario Kart Tour.
Description[]
The Offroader's design is based on a Sandrail in a camouflage pattern. It bears characteristics to make it a tough-looking kart, such as its front frame, with ends like bull horns, which is attached by two metal bars. The front of the body has two circular headlights that stick out. On the sides, it has a razor-shape pattern, along with a side platform, where the platform on the right holds tall pole with a colored flag at the end. In the cockpit is a tall seat with two walls aside it which hold the character's emblem. Behind it is a large tire, with two exhaust pipes aside it. It has 4 large wheels that have spiky rims, which are joined to the kart via springs.
Its body shape reassembles the Pipe Frame, but is much bigger and tougher than said kart.

Appearances[]
Mario Kart Wii[]
The Offroader is a kart that Large racers can drive. It's one of three default karts in the Large class along with the Standard Kart L and the Flame Flyer. It happens to be Donkey Kong's signature kart in this game. Its bike counterpart is the Wario Bike.
It's best stat is its weight, which makes it second heaviest vehicle in the game behind the Piranha Prowler. It has decent Handling and Acceleration, while it has about average Speed, Off-Road and Mini-Turbo. However, it's drift stat is very low; it's the lowest among all karts in the game and is only saved from the cellar by the Phantom. It has the lowest speed stat out of all large karts in the game, and the second lowest out of all large vehicles, only being higher than the Wario Bike. Despite being known as the "Offroader", its Off-Road is average, but it's decent that it's the highest out of all the large karts, though.
It shares its Speed with the Standard Bike S, its Acceleration with the Standard Kart S, its Handling with the Classic Dragster, its Off-Road with the Standard Bike S, and its Mini-Turbo with the Standard Kart S and the Zip Zip.

- It does have the highest Off-Road out of all Large Karts, though.

- If players get a boost off the start line or use any Mushroom, the kart will do a wheelie on its back wheels.

- The kart's wheels reassemble the Koopa King's wheels. But without the "razor" design on the wheels.
