Piranha Pipes

Donkey Kong and Petey Piranha get set for a GP race while riding on the Piranha Pipes.

Piranha Pipes make up Petey Piranha's unlockable kart in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It can be unlocked by completing the Star Cup in Mirror Mode. The kart is composed of two Warp Pipes stuck together, keeping in tradition with Piranha Plants' past roles: arising from pipes.

Based on in-game stats, the Piranha Pipes has the same speed and acceleration as the Wario Car and DK Jumbo. However, its weight is tied with that of the Koopa King and Boo Pipes, making it one of the heaviest karts in the game.

In actuality, the Piranha Pipes is a slightly better accelerator than the DK Jumbo, while its acceleration rivals that of the Wario Car. Additionally, its top speed is actually tied with the Koopa King, despite the stat having one star less. However, the Piranha Pipes is a weaker accelerator than the Barrel Train.
