# The racers

Source: https://clashkarts.com/racers

Six racers, one kart. They all drive the same beach buggy, with the same speed, grip and health, so pick whoever makes you laugh.

## Big Bubba

Drives the buggy in sky blue

Fourteen months old. Benches a fridge. Wants his bottle now. He drives with both fists on the wheel and his dummy clamped in his teeth.

## Grampa Gus

Drives the buggy in green

Drove to the shops in 1962 and never stopped. Lost his lenses, kept the goggles. Grinning on his dentures, he takes every corner like it owes him money.

## Chef Rigatoni

Drives the buggy in tomato red

Cooks with passion. Drives with more. Sauce gets everywhere. He shouts through his moustache at anyone in his way.

## Gator Gary

Drives the buggy in lime green

Came up through the pipes. Flushes the competition. A sewer plumber by trade, he drives like the pipes are backing up.

## Glorp

Drives the buggy in violet

Crossed eleven galaxies for this. Still lost. Three eyestalks look three ways at once, so nothing sneaks up on him, in theory.

## Nana Nitro

Drives the buggy in pink

Bingo champion, three years running. Curlers in, cat-eye glasses on, she drives like the bingo hall is closing.

## The kart

Every racer drives the same beach buggy, painted in their colour: chunky off-road tyres, a chrome bull bar, a roll cage, and an engine at the back with two upswept exhausts. Whatever item you are holding rides on it, so everyone can see what is coming: the plunger cannon, the duck launcher and the gumball gatling on the nose; the seagull and the burp horn on the roll cage; the whoopee cushions, the hot sauce and the piano catapult on the back. Only a Bubble Bath stays out of sight until it is used.

## Paints and hats

Every buggy starts in its racer's colour, with no hat on the driver. Paints and hats come from the Jackpot machine in the game's menu, which you play with the coins every match pays. They come in four sets, from common to legendary:

| Set | Rarity | Paint | Hat |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Sandcastle | Common | Sandy | Sand Bucket |
| Surf's Up | Rare | Wipeout Blue | Shark Fin |
| Jolly Roger | Epic | Davy Jones, a pearly deep teal | Pirate Tricorn |
| Solid Gold | Legendary | 24 Karat | Sun Halo |

Everyone in a match sees what you wear, and a few of the computer racers dress up too. A paint or hat never changes how a kart drives.
