Unlike what happened in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the basic models of the karts reappear in Mario Kart DS, having the name of Standard Karts. There are twenty-one karts in all for this installment. Medium-weight karts have balanced stats, whereas heavyweight karts show a high top speed and endurance, and low acceleration.ĭespite that conventional-looking Karts are absent in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the Toad Kart and the Toadette Kart greatly resemble a Standard Kart as seen in Mario Kart DS and later games. In general, lightweight karts have a high acceleration, but a fair low speed and endurance. The kart's stats are qualified by the amount of stars on its acceleration, speed, and weight. 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.Įvery kart has also its own stats. The Parade Kart breaks this rule, being usable for any character. Pairing both lightweight characters results in a vehicle used as a light kart.

The use of these karts is determined by the characters' weights therefore, while one of the two characters has a higher weight, characters use a kart within the Medium or Heavy weight class. Just as in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the karts are split in three weight groups: Light, Medium, and Heavy. 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 an item, taken from the Item Boxes. The design of the karts also are changed, regarding the new concept "two racers in one vehicle" within the game. Most of them reflect some character's special characteristics, such as Mario's kart, the Red Fire, which it is a red and blue-colored all-terrain vehicle, rendering Mario's letter M emblem on its body and wheels. For the Mario Kart for the Nintendo GameCube, the karts appear in new models and styles. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the basic models of the karts, seen from Super Mario Kart to Mario Kart: Super Circuit, are taken out. It is possible to regain one more life in Grand Prix by placing the same position three times in a row.

When all karts are lost, the player is forced to exit to the title screen.
