Unlock criteria[]
In Mario Kart Havoc, characters are not unlocked at random like in Mario Kart 8, instead having fixed unlock conditions like previous titles in the series. However, unlock conditions have been simplified in comparison to past games, with almost all of the characters being unlocked by beating a specific cup at a specific difficulty, and the remaining two unlocked by playing as specific characters.

- When Motley Bossblob hits an opponent with an item, he will celebrate by briefly transforming into his metallic form.
