Kart
- Not to be confused withCar.
Karts are featured as the main vehicles in theMario Kart series. They can come in various sizes and colors, corresponding to the size and color of each character. EarlyMario Kart games only have one kart, theGo-Kart. Later games include multiple kinds of karts, and allow the player to choose which one to use. Each kart has a distinct appearance and stats such as speed, acceleration and handling. Usually, the kart that is closest to average in terms of stats in each game is defined as theStandard Kart. In such games, the Go-Kart from the older games is recontextualized as the Pipe Frame and given distinct stats. Also, while not initially part of karts, later games have each kart include one or more spaces to display the driver'semblem.
Karts have also appeared in other game series and media such as in theSuper Smash Bros. series, comics, and toys.
History[edit]
Mario Kart series[edit]
Super Mario Kart[edit]
InSuper Mario Kart,Go-Karts are the only kart in the game. The term "kart" also applies to theextra lives a driver has inGrand Prix mode. In the mode, all drivers start out with three karts, and one kart is lost when a driver comes in 5th place or lower or by retrying a race. When all karts are lost, the player is forced to exit to the title screen. It is possible to regain one more kart in the Grand Prix by placing the same position three times in a row.

Mario Kart 64[edit]
Go-Karts return inMario Kart 64, with slight design changes and new sounds. Depending on the characters that use them, karts pertain to one of three weight classes: light, medium, and heavy. Lights are karts that show a high speed but a fairly low endurance. Medium karts show all-around traits, whereas Heavy karts have high endurance but poor speed.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]
InMario Kart: Double Dash!!, there are new karts with new appearances and styles. Most of them reflect a character's special characteristics, such asMario'sRed Fire, which is a red and blue-colored all-terrain vehicle, rendering Mario's letterM emblem on its body and wheels. In this game, the karts have a seat on the front where a character drives the kart and a platform in the rear of the vehicle where the second character is able to use anitem, taken from theItem Boxes. Similarly to previous games, the karts are split in the Light, Medium, and Heavy weight groups, though drivers can only use karts that fit their own weight. TheParade Kart breaks this rule, being usable for any character. The player can press the item button (
/
) (without the rear character holding an item) to sound the horn, and the rear player makes a small pose.
Every kart has its own stats, which are qualified by the amount of stars on its acceleration, speed, and weight. In general however, lightweight karts have a high acceleration, but a fair low speed and endurance. Medium-weight karts have balanced stats, whereas heavyweight karts show a high top speed and endurance, and low acceleration. There are twenty-one karts in the game.

Mario Kart Arcade GP subseries[edit]
It has been requested that this section berewritten.Reason:Mario Kart Arcade GP DX is mechanically building fromMario Kart 7, yet is placed beforeMario Kart 7 despite both games being in the same series because of this weird "Arcade GP" subseries header. It would be easier for a reader to follow the evolution of karts across the series if this section were removed and its contents placed in the correct chronological positions within theMario Kart series.
InMario Kart Arcade GP, all the characters use a kart with rounded details and a solid build as opposed to other previousMario Kart games. However, inMario Kart Arcade GP 2, the characters have an option to choose a secondary kart that was made for them. InMario Kart Arcade GP DX, there are now different karts that can be used by drivers. Karts inMario Kart Arcade GP DX have the ability to deploy aglider when jumping from aGlide Ramp and a propeller todrive underwater, as introduced inMario Kart 7. Kart customization fromMario Kart 7 is not present; each kart has a specific glider it activates.Mario Kart Arcade GP VR builds fromMario Kart Arcade GP DX, but each character is restricted to a specific kart.
Just as inMario Kart: Double Dash!!, all the karts are rated by the amount of the stars for each aspect. Regarding to the character selected, they can be light, medium, or heavy, emphasizing one of these aspects for the vehicle available. Some karts return in later installments and are listed inbold.

Mario Kart Arcade GP DX[edit]
Mario Kart DS[edit]
InMario Kart DS,Standard Karts replace Go-Karts in the game. These karts are redesigned, having white bumpers and a frame of different color palettes that matches the character's custom color. The emblem of the character is shown over the hood, although the player can replace it with their own in theemblem maker option. Additionally, every character can select at least one of three vehicles (excludingShy Guy, having only his Standard SG), exclusive for being rather different in design and stats than the character's Standard Kart. While a Standard Kart has plain stats, the other vehicles can have a high speed, acceleration or items ratio, depending on what the vehicle is made for. Every Kart is qualified by six ratings:
- Acceleration: The time for achieving the top speed. Lightweight karts likeYoshi's Standard YS have the highest acceleration rating.
- Speed: The top speed level when a kart moves forward. Most of the karts within the heavyweight class show the highest speed rating.
- Weight: The kart's endurance. When a kart has a higher weight, it is capable of knocking lighter karts further.
- Drifting: The friction power of the kart when turns bypowersliding. A high drifting rate makes the kart turn tighter.
- Handling: The control over the vehicle in all type of terrains. The strength of theMini-Turbo boost caused by drifting also depends on how high the kart's handling is.
- Items: The variety of items to obtain in anItem Box. As the kart's item stat is high, the character can receive rarer items more commonly. The smaller the kart's wheels, the lower the meter is for the Items stat.

Mario Kart Wii[edit]
InMario Kart Wii, karts are once again redesigned with various details added than they appeared formerly. Similar toMario Kart DS, the typical go-karts receive the name of Standard Karts, and are classified according to the size of the vehicle, split in three groups:Standard Kart S for small-sized characters;Standard Kart M for medium size characters andStandard Kart L for large characters. Though weight classes are replaced for size classes, the general aspects of the karts are the same as appeared throughout the series.
- Speed: The level of the top speed.
- Weight: The strength of the vehicle to knock apart others.
- Acceleration: The time to achieve the top speed.
- Handling: The control of the vehicle.
- Drift: The friction power of the vehicle.
- Off-road: The speed of the vehicle over rough terrain.
- Mini-turbo: The power of the momentary speed burst after drifting or making a trick.
The Karts and newly-introducedBikes can be divided into six classes of vehicle counterparts based on their stats. In addition, each racer can vary the kart's custom stats with the bonus points they have for each feature and select other five karts in the determined character's size. Unlike in other games, every kart has a unique color scheme for the players using it. Unlike Bikes, Karts cannot perform wheelies. However, they can release a more powerful boost by drifting than a bike, depending how long the respective button is pressed. Compared to bikes, karts generally offer superior speed and weight in exchange for being weaker in every other stat. Additionally, bikes have sixtrick variants while karts only have three.

Mario Kart 7[edit]
Karts return inMario Kart 7, with the Standard Karts having a similar design to their appearance fromMario Kart DS. Karts deploy aglider when they drive overGlide Ramps or bounce off the blueMushroom Trampoline inWii Mushroom Gorge, enabling them to take routes across the air and over the track. Unlike prior games, karts candrive within deep bodies of water, which means some tracks wind through the water while others offer driving through water as an optional path. While underwater, a yellow propeller appears at the back of the kart. Players are able to customize their karts by selecting differenttires and gliders, which confer different stat increases and decreases to the final kart.

Mario Kart 8 /Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]
Karts return inMario Kart 8. In the game, in addition to the ability to glide and drive underwater fromMario Kart 7, karts can drive on walls, ceilings, and other inversions that are withinantigravity zones by enteringantigravity mode. While a kart is in antigravity mode, they hover above the surface they are driving across, their tires flip into a horizontal position, and the tires glow blue. Like inMario Kart 7, the players are able to choose the bodies, wheels, and gliders for their karts. The Pipe Frame and Gold Standard return fromMario Kart 7 with slightly different appearances. The player can also press the player icon on the
to sound the horn (or press the item button when there's no item being held), a feature absent sinceMario Kart: Double Dash!!. Karts also come equipped with lights, which turn on when karts enter a tunnel or a dark area.
Three additional karts are available for free (theGLA,W 25 Silver Arrow and the300 SL Roadster), while eight more are paid DLC. In the enhancedNintendo Switch portMario Kart 8 Deluxe, all the kart parts fromMario Kart 8 return as base game content, including the DLC parts, and some new karts are added.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]
Karts reappear inMario Kart Tour, where they are acquired randomly through Pipes or Spotlight Shop, which costrubies. In addition, like gliders and drivers, karts are sorted into three rarities: Normal, Super, and High-End. Super karts are rarer than Normal karts, and High-End karts are rarer than Super karts. Players no longer choose tires for their kart, with each kart having its own tires conferring no changes, but do continue to choose gliders. Antigravity zones are not inMario Kart Tour, and as such karts do not use antigravity mode.
Also like gliders and drivers, karts have base points which that are immediately granted to the player'sscore at the start of each race. Rarer karts have more base points. Using karts in races or usingPoint-boost tickets on them will cause them to gainexperience points that will at certain breakpoints increase the kart's base points. Karts can beleveled up by obtaining additional copies of the kart or by usingLevel-boost tickets to multiply the amount of points the player receives for performing any kind of action, with Super karts starting with a small multiplier and High-End karts starting with a slightly larger multiplier.
While karts do not have different stats, they each have a differentspecial skill that will increase the boost provided and points earned for using a specific kind of technique. Further, each kart has some amount of favored and favorite courses, with rarer karts having more such courses. When a kart is used on one of its favored courses, the player earns 1.5 times the number of points they would normally earn for every action. On a favorite course, they instead earn two times the points.

Mario Kart World[edit]
Karts return inMario Kart World, with the Standard Karts having a new design that is influenced byMario Kart 8 andMario Kart Wii. Karts have stats and lack special skills, following fromMario Kart 8 and notMario Kart Tour. Unlike in previous games, karts no longer deploy gliders or propellers, nor can they use antigravity mode and drive underwater. Instead, Glide Ramps prompt karts to deploy wings that act similarly to gliders. Landing in water makes karts deploy hulls to drive across the surface of water. Like games prior toMario Kart 7, they have unique sets of tires.
Returning[edit]
New[edit]
Club Nintendo[edit]
"Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All"[edit]
In theClub Nintendo comic "Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All", Mario andLuigi are seen driving karts in their mission to find a spaceship shaped like theNintendo 64. They compete againstWario andBowser and they dropBanana Peels to make Wario and Bowser crash. The karts in this comic resemble those fromMario Kart 64. Unlike their video game equivalents, though, they can also be turned into jet skis by pushing a button on their steering-wheels.
Mario Kirby Meisaku Video[edit]
A Pipe Frame appears in the Mario segment of theMario Kirby Meisaku Video where Mario drives it during his pursuit ofW. After being attacked by some monsters, the kart spins out near a vegetable garden.
Super Mario-kun[edit]
Karts are commonly seen in theMario Kart adaptions ofSuper Mario-kun, where they are used in races against other racers.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
InSuper Smash Bros. Melee, a red Go-Kart is depicted in atrophy named "Racing Kart". The trophy adds that racing karts are "extremely durable".
Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, karts driven by redShy Guys are stage hazards on the stageMario Circuit. The stage's premise is that the Shy Guys are racing around the course, while the fighters battle on a vertical plane at the course's intersection. Thus. the karts drive through the that plane when they pass the intersection and damage the fighters on contact. The way the course is arranged, the karts either drive into the intersection from the background, moving along the road at ground level, or by jumping from left to right across elevated sections of road serving as platforms of the stage. If the fighters attack the karts, the karts are sent flying away. A jumbotron in the background of the stage tracks each racer's position, and it accounts for the setbacks to racers caused by being sent flying.
The karts' design is based on their appearance inMario Kart DS. Whilethe karts Shy Guys use inMario Kart DS were only ever grey and black, the karts in this game have one of various colors for their body, and their bumpers and emblems are colored differently as well.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U[edit]
- See also:Clown Kart Dash
Karts driven by Shy Guys reappear inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS on the newRainbow Road stage, and inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U on both the newMario Circuit stage and the one returning fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. The new stages have a similar premise as the the older Mario Circuit, but instead of the fighters being in a static area, the platforms making up the base portion of the stage fly around the course. Usually, this means the karts are unable to reach the fighters, but when the base portion of the stage disappears to have the battle proceed on one of the parts of the course, there is a risk of the karts coming through that part of the course and inflicting damage as before. While neither stage has a map available in the background, graphics appear on screen to indicate when karts are about to drive through. The karts on the new Mario Circuit stage deal less damage than the ones on the older Mario Circuit stage.[1]
Rainbow Road introduces areas where the karts use gliders to navigate the course, so their trajectory is an diagonally downward line compared to the arc of jumping. The new Mario Circuit stage has the karts use anti-gravity on a course designed around it, meaning the karts are able to drive horizontally on a road parallel to the screen or drive toward the screen on a road arranged to act as a wall for the fighters, among other new methods of attacking.
Bowser Jr.'s side special move,Clown Kart Dash, has him transform theJunior Clown Car into a kart to race forward. This can be used for faster movement, to attack enemies, and to help return to the stage after being launched off. The move ends with a damaging spin out. Clown Kart Dash has two variations called Koopa Drift and Grounding Dash, but neither adds extra kart functionality. Bowser Jr.'s downtaunt has him do a short spin with the kart form of the Junior Clown Car. One of his victory animations has him drive onto the screen using the kart while holding ahammer, then end by spinning out.
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, andDonkey Kong race each other on karts on an originalRainbow Road course inRosalina &Luma's reveal trailer.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
Nearly every stage in theSuper Smash Bros. series is present inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. This includes the Mario Circuit stage fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, renamedFigure-8 Circuit, and the Mario Circuit stage fromSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, but not Rainbow Road. This includes their kart obstacles. The Battlefield form and Ω form of Figure 8-Circuit take place on platforms high above the track, so in those forms the karts only race in tbe background and are not hazards. The Battlefield form of Mario Circuit excludes the karts of the stage. Bowser Jr. returns as a playable fighter, including Clown Kart Dash and assorted animations, but excluding Koopa Drift and Grounding Dash.
Paper Mario series[edit]
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
InPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, one of Luigi's adventures takes place at Circuit Break Island, where the citizens have kart races every day. Luigi begsTorque to let him drive a kart, called the Big Green 01, and instantly wrecks it. Unable to pay and repair the kart, Torque follows Luigi toRogueport.
Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]
InPaper Mario: Color Splash, after Mario collects the greenBig Paint Star fromthe Emerald Circus, it flies off the map to restore Luigi's kart's colors somewhere off-screen before returning to thePrisma Fountain. When the Big Paint Stars form a rainbow road up toBlack Bowser's Castle, Luigi drives toPort Prisma in his kart, and he later transports Mario and Huey to the castle. After Mario and Huey defeatBlack Bowser and rescuePrincess Peach, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Mario drive back to Port Prisma in Luigi's kart. In the game's ending cutscene, theMustard Café chef is seen sitting in Luigi's kart.
Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]
InPaper Mario: The Origami King, Luigi uses his kart to drive Mario toToad Town, stopping in front of Princess Peach's Castle. Later, the kart is seen tipped over at the castle grounds, and Luigi drives it again after being rescued from inside a wall. Near the end of the game, Luigi finds theKey to Peach's Castle in his kart's tailpipe. During theOrigami Festival, theToad mechanic talks to Luigi while riding his kart.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]
InThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, Stuart from theDespicable Me andMinions series uses a kart in theIllumination logo prior to the opening. WhenMario,Princess Peach, andToad arrive at theJungle Kingdom, theKong that greets them brings them toCranky Kong on a kart. When it goes off a ramp, it opens its glider. After Cranky Kong suggests using karts to return to theMushroom Kingdom, the group go to thekart workshop to build their own vehicles. Mario builds a kart resembling theStandard Kart M andPipe Frame while Toad builds a kart resembling theTiny Titan. The group are joined byDonkey Kong, Cranky Kong, and theKong army on their own karts to drive down thesecret passage andRainbow Road. While the group drive down Rainbow Road, theKoopa Troop ambush them with their own karts. Some resemble theBullet Bike withBomber Bill faces, while others are equipped with cannons that fireGreen Shells andBullet Bills. The karts built by the Kong Army are powered bybanana juice, while the karts built by the Koopa Troop are powered bylava.[2]
Other appearances[edit]

Notes[edit]
- The Kart appears inNintendo Monopoly under the name "Mario Kart", where it replaces Reading Railroad as a purchasable vehicle. It costs $200. There is also aCoin Block/Brick Block card that charges the player $150 for renewing their Kart license in the 2006 version, and only $50 in the 2010 version. The? Block card in both versions allows the player to take a spin in the kart, which advances them to theMario Kart space along with a $200 passing Go bonus.
