| The '''Koopa Clown Car''' ({{ja|クッパクラウン|Kuppa Kuraun}}, ''Koopa Clown'') is a flying vehicle used by [[Bowser]]. A smaller version, the '''Junior Clown Car''' ({{ja|クッパJr.クラウン|Kuppa Jr. Kuraun}}, ''Koopa Jr. Clown''), is used by [[Bowser Jr.]] | | {{art-supermariowiki|Koopa Clown Car}} |
| | The '''Koopa Clown Car''' (sometimes spelled as the '''Koopa Klown Kar''') is one of [[Bowser]]'s methods of travel. It is the shape of a bowl, big enough to hold Bowser and perhaps one other human, with a small propeller on the bottom that propels the whole thing up in the air. There are no obvious controls; Bowser seems to be able to control it (and call it from a distance) mentally. The body has a smiling clown face on it; this is because Bowser has had it since infant-hood. |

| The Koopa Clown Car first appeared in the final boss battle of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', in which [[Bowser]] rides it across the arena. It holds a seemingly infinite supply of [[mariowiki:Big Steely|Big Steelies]] and [[Mechakoopa]]s for Bowser to attack [[Mario]] with, and in the last phase of the battle it directly attempts to crush Mario. [[Princess Peach]] is also kept prisoner in it and during the battle occasionally aids Mario by throwing [[Super Mushroom]]s at him. | | The Koopa Clown Car's earliest appearance was the final boss battle of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', in which Mario had to defeat Bowser as he flew around the stage in the machine. It held Big Steelies and Mecha-Koopas to use as projectiles, as well as Bowser and the captive [[Princess Peach]]. The Clown Car appears in other games as a form of travel for Bowser, such as in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga}}''. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' revealed that [[Bowser Jr.]] has his own, smaller Koopa Clown Car titled the "Junior Clown Car" and uses it to battle Mario, which returns in other games. He also uses his father's Koopa Clown Car much later in the game. |

|
| The Clown Car made several reappearances in later games as one of Bowser's main means of transportation, often during cutscenes. The Koopalings ride the original Koopa Clown Car all together in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. 2}}''. ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 7}}'' introduced the {{s|mariowiki|Koopa Clown}} kart, which resembles the Koopa Clown Car on wheels. ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Maker}}'' included the Koopa Clown Car as a level element, which can be ridden by Bowser, Bowser Jr., the Koopalings (as of ''Super Mario Maker 2''), other enemies (such as [[Goomba]]s), and even Mario himself.

| | | The Koopa Clown Car appears as a normal [[trophy]], collectable through the [[Lottery]] after getting at least 250 other trophies. |
| ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. Wii}}'' introduced [[Bowser Jr.]]'s own, smaller Koopa Clown Car, the {{s|mariowiki|Junior Clown Car}}, although it was not officially given this name until the release of ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Luigi: Dream Team}}'' which he uses to battle Mario; he also uses his father's Koopa Clown Car much later in the game. Beginning in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. U}}'', the Junior Clown Car has been augmented with boxing gloves attached to mechanical arms.

| | Initial speculation theorized that the Koopa Clown Car would be Bowser's [[on-screen appearance|entrance]] in ''Brawl''. However, it turned out that it was only used as a plot device in the [[Subspace Emissary]], allowing Bowser to get out of tight spots without having to deal with any of the heroes. Unlike in ''Melee'', there is no trophy of the Koopa Clown Car. |
| The Koopa Clown Car's only appearances are in the ''[[List_of_cutscenes_in_The_Subspace_Emissary#Bowser_Kidnaps_Peach.2FZelda|Bowser Kidnaps Peach/Zelda]]'' cutscene in [[The Subspace Emissary]], in which Bowser, having stolen a trophified [[Peach]]/[[Zelda]], uses it to escape from the heroes. It also appears in the ''{{h2|List of cutscenes in The Subspace Emissary|Falco Appears}}'' cutscene.

| |
| [[Bowser Jr.]]'s personal Junior Clown Car is featured in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', where he rides the vehicle in battle. The [[Koopalings]], which appear as Bowser Jr.'s [[alternate costume]]s, use a different, mass-produced model that made its first appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.
| |
| | |
| Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings take 0.88× of the damage an attack would usually deal if the Junior Clown Car is hit. However, if their body is hit, they take 1.15× of the usual damage instead. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the body hurtbox has priority over the Car hurtbox, causing Bowser Jr. to take more damage than usual on average. In ''Ultimate'', this is reversed, with the Car having more priority and Bowser Jr. taking less damage as a result.
| |
| | |
| The Junior Clown Car features its boxing gloves from ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', used for multiple attacks. Its [[Clown Kart Dash]] loosely resembles the Koopa Clown from ''Mario Kart 7'', while it can deploy [[Mechakoopa]]s as a reference to ''Super Mario World''. Other than these examples, most of the Junior Clown Car's features are original to ''Smash''.

| The Koopa Clown Car can appear as a background element in [[Super Mario Maker]], ridden by a [[Goomba]].

| ==Trivia== | | ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''== |
| *The Koopalings' Koopa Clown Car design is unique to ''Super Smash Bros.''
| | [[Image:Bowser Jr. SSB4.png|thumb|left|Bowser Jr. in his Junior Clown Car in ''SSB4''.]]{{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}} appears as a playable character and uses his own personal Koopa Clown Car, officially known as the '''Junior Clown Car''', in battle. The [[Koopalings]] also appear as alternates for Bowser Jr., using a similar model Clown Car. |
| *''Smash 4'' marks the second game in which the Koopalings used a Clown Car, not counting ''Mario Kart'' games, with the first being ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.
| |
| **However, it is the first game in which the Koopalings use distinctive Clown Cars.
