The Sneeker, also known as the Bounder, is an unlockable kart body in Mario Kart 8 and a starter kart body in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It looks like a sneaker, hence the name.
Description[]
The Sneeker is based on a sneaker, with laces pointing to the back of the kart, which have boosters at the end.
Color Schemes[]
There are 4 variants: Blue and Red, White and Pink, Purple and Yellow, and Gray and Orange, and it changes colors depending on which character is using it.
Appearances[]
Mario Kart 8[]
It has no stats to offer, meaning it gives no effect to the driver's performance. Its stats are identical to the Standard Kart, the Cat Cruiser, the Prancer, the 300 SL Roadster, The Duke, the Teddy Buggy.
A CPU-controlled Toad, Toadette, Wendy, Wario, and Shy Guy may occasionally use this vehicle body.
