Wario

Always the mischief maker, Wario really throws his weight around on the track. Mario's muscular rival returns in this game, and for the first time in the Mario Kart series, Wario is an unlockable character. He is unlocked by winning the Flower Cup in 150cc. Like most of the games in the Mario Kart series, Wario has another new track, Wario Shipyard. Most of the track takes place underwater, which is why Lakitu wears goggles when he starts the race.
