Buses also appear in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', on [[DS Shroom Ridge|Shroom Ridge]], and the returning retro course {{classic|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}}. The bus resembles a stereotypical blue city bus with red and yellow zig-zags along the sides. The doors on the bus are on the left-hand side mainly because on Shroom Ridge traffic drives on the left. These new buses replace the old ones from the original Mushroom Bridge. Just like the cars and trucks, if a player hits them, they will lose their item.
Buses also appear in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', on [[DS Shroom Ridge|Shroom Ridge]], and the returning retro course {{classic|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}}. The bus resembles a standard blue city bus with red and yellow zig-zags along the sides. The doors on the bus are on the left-hand side mainly because on Shroom Ridge traffic drives on the left. These new buses replace the old ones from the original Mushroom Bridge. Just like the cars and trucks, if a player hits them, they will lose their item. In [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]], at the beginning of every race, the bus is seen driving past the racers on the left lane.

Buses also appear on the retro tracks {{classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as well as {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Berlin Byways}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The buses on <small>N64</small> Toad's Turnpike can display different sponsors at random, namely [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Galaxy Air|Galaxy Air]], [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Boomerang Bros. International Airlines|Boomerang Bros. International Airlines]], [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Paratroopa Airlines|Paratroopa Airlines]], as well as a [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Toad City Sightseeing|Toad City Sightseeing]], a sponsor which only appears on these buses. Buses on the other aforementioned courses always display Galaxy Air designs. If a player hits a bus, they will not lose their item, and if they were not driving fast enough they will not flip out either. On <small>N64</small> Toad's Turnpike only, some buses also include ramps on the roof which can be accessed after using a [[dash panel ramp truck]].

The buses in this game resemble coach buses rather then city buses in the previous game.  


Additionally, the first stationary bus appears on {{classic-link|Tour|New York Minute}}. It uses a Toad City Sightseeing design and has a simple ramp on top. As with other stationary buses, it cannot be launched by any means and merely acts as a wall. Stationary {{wp|AEC Routemaster}} {{wp|double-decker bus}}es also appear on {{classic-link|Tour|London Loop}}. Several courses also feature stationary buses which are outside the track and thus of no consequence to the player.
