The '''Tiny Tug''' is a [[kart]] part that players can unlock in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. This kart part is shaped like a boat, with a large smokestack on the back acting as an exhaust pipe. The emblem is located on the back and sides of the kart. It offers a weight boost, and an off-road boost; however, it hinders speed. It is one of the only five karts to increase the off-road stat, with the other four being the [[Bolt Buggy]], [[Bumble V]], [[Cact-X]], and [[Pipe Frame]].

The Tiny Tug has one of the lowest speed stats in the game (being tied with the [[Birthday Girl]] and [[Cloud 9]]), but it has the best sea speed (tied with the [[Egg 1]]) and sea handling (tied with the Cloud 9) of all kart bodies.
