TheHeart Coach (or thePeach Coach)[1] isPrincess Peach's signaturekart inMario Kart: Double Dash!!. It is a default middleweight kart when the game is first started. It has a pink paint job and has a heart on the front.
The Heart Coach shows good acceleration and below-average speed. Its weight is tied withMario'sRed Fire andDiddy Kong'sBarrel Train. Also, like the aforementioned karts, the Heart Coach can dodge large items with ease. When compared to theTurbo Yoshi (which has the same stats in-game), the Heart Coach is lighter, but it bounces less and loses slightly less speed when going off-road.
Despite the stats shown in-game, the Heart Coach's acceleration is ranked the worst of all the four-star acceleration karts, only being tied with the Turbo Yoshi; but to compensate, the two karts offer the best top speeds of all the two star speed karts. The Heart Coach,Bloom Coach,Piranha Pipes andBoo Pipes all share the same engine sound.

- Website bios:
- "If you want to see style and grace whizzing around the track with reckless abandon, put Peach behind the wheel of the Heart Coach and hold on tight!"
- "A throwback to the karts of yesteryear, the Heart Coach can take damage as well as give it out. It has good acceleration, but a lower max speed than the Red Fire."
