The Paintster in Mario Kart Tour
Appears in Mario Kart Tour

The Paintster is a High-End kart in Mario Kart Tour. Introduced in the 2021 Paris Tour, it is the signature kart of Luigi (Painter). The Paintster is composed of several painting materials; a paint tube serves as the body of the kart, four paintbrushes stick out of the back of the kart, of which the bottom two serve as exhaust pipes, and two palettes serve as the rear fenders. It uses the Standard tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and the emblem is located on the front and sides of the kart. Its overall look resembles that of the B Dasher. The Paintster increases the duration of Dash Panel boosts and the amount of points earned upon using a Dash Panel.
