The Big Horn[1] is a kart that appears in Mario Kart World. It is a brown tractor with two horns in front of the grille, with a golden ring resembling that of a bull's nose ring. It also possesses a metallic orange seat, orange, green, and black tires, and zigzag designs on the back fenders reminiscent of the geometric patterns commonly seen in the art of various African regions. Being a tractor, this kart can be considered a spiritual successor to the Dragonfly from Mario Kart DS. The emblem is located just behind the seat.
In terms of stats, the Big Horn has good speed and weight, but low acceleration and handling. It shares its stats with the Billdozer.
This kart is randomly used by the CPU-controlled Donkey Kong, Cow, Mario (Cowboy), Bowser Jr. (Explorer), Toad (Explorer), Toadette (Explorer), Baby Peach (Explorer), Baby Daisy (Explorer), and Baby Rosalina (Explorer). Additionally, it is always driven by Donkey Kong in his appearance as the main rival in the Mushroom Cup.
