Handling: The control over the vehicle in all type of terrains.

A high drifting rate makes the kart turn tighter.

Drifting: The friction power of the kart when turns by powersliding.

When a kart has a higher weight, it is capable of knocking lighter karts further. Most of the karts within the heavyweight class show the highest speed rating.

Speed: The top speed level when a kart moves forward.

Lightweight karts like Yoshi's Standard YS have the highest acceleration rating.

Acceleration: The time for achieving the top speed.

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. Additionally, every character can select at least one of three vehicles (excluding Shy Guy, having only his Standard SG), exclusive for being rather different in design and stats than the character's Standard Kart. The emblem of the character is shown over the hood, although the player can replace it with their own in the emblem maker option. These karts are redesigned, having white bumpers and a frame of different color palettes that matches the character's custom color. In Mario Kart DS, Standard Karts replace Pipe Frames in the game. Medium-weight karts have balanced stats, whereas heavyweight karts show a high top speed and endurance, and low acceleration. In general however, lightweight karts have a high acceleration, but a fair low speed and endurance. 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 its own stats, which are qualified by the amount of stars on its acceleration, speed, and weight. The Parade Kart breaks this rule, being usable for any character.

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. 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 an item, taken from the Item Boxes. Most of them reflect a character's special characteristics, such as Mario's Red Fire, which is a red and blue-colored all-terrain vehicle, rendering Mario's letter M emblem on its body and wheels. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, there are new karts with new appearances and styles. It is possible to regain one more kart in the 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.

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.

The term 'kart' also applies to the extra lives a driver has in Grand Prix mode. In Super Mario Kart, Pipe Frames are the only kart in the game.
