The Roaring Racer is a High-End kart in Mario Kart Tour. It was added in the Singapore Tour and is the signature kart of Luigi (Vacation). The kart is based on the Merlion, the official mascot of Singapore, and has blue and purple fenders. It uses a gray, blue, and gold version of the B Dasher Mk. 2's tires. The emblem is located at the front of the kart. The Roaring Racer increases the duration of slipstream boosts and the amount of points earned for performing a slipstream.
