One of three available cars in Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally, the MONSTER is a slower all-terrain vehicle, able to drive over rough terrain like sand. 3D Hot Rally also marks the first time Mario & Luigi took part in a racing event. By the time of Mario Kart Wii, the MONSTER inspired the Tiny Titan kart, as well as the Monster tires being available for customization in more recent entries.
