The Devil Car appears as an enemy. It is one of the stronger enemies, as it has a lot of HP, cannot be grabbed and has knockback resistance. It can perform several attacks:

• ramming into the player
• spinning around itself, causing multiple hits
• spew out paralyzing exhaust fumes
• jump to reach an airborne player, dealing high knockback.

Trophy Description

Devil Car

A fearsome enemy from the Mother series, this car attacks mercilessly, closing in on fighters before trying to hit them as it spins doughnuts. No, these aren't the kind you eat—they're the kind that hurt. Its exhaust fumes can cause paralysis too, so keep your distance until it's between attacks.

In this game, this fearsome car from the Mother series does doughnuts. That's not "does doughnuts" in the sense of "bakes delicious sugary circles of dough", but rather "spins mercilessly into fighters to clobber them". Its exhaust fumes cause paralysis too, so keep your distance until it stops, then move in and attack it!

Origin

The Devil / Psycho Car's sprite in Mother.

The Devil / Psycho Car is one of several vehicular enemies in Mother, and can appear in the outskirts of the towns of Merrysville and Reindeer. A palette swap of this enemy also appeared known as the Mad Car, and a similar enemy named the Mad Taxi would appear in the game's sequel, EarthBound, in Fourside and Summers.

The Devil Car's ability to paralyze players in Smash Run is based on its ability to incapacitate Ninten, an asthmatic, with its exhaust fumes, disabling Ninten from attacking in a battle against it.
