Egg 1 is Yoshi's main kart in Mario Kart DS. It is a bumper-car in the shape of a Yoshi Egg with small wheels, dual exhaust pipes, and a small compartment for the driver. The lower front part of the kart suggest that it may be built using the chassis of the classic Pipe Frame karts featured in earlier Mario Kart games.

Overview

Mario Kart DS

In Mario Kart DS, the Egg 1 has above average speed, high acceleration, and high handling, but also has low drift, weight, and items. Its name is a pun on F-1 (Formula One). It is one of the lightest karts, and its weight is tied with the Mushmellow. This kart is available from the start of the game.

Much like the Dry Bomber, the kart is notable for its powerful Mini-Turbo boost. A hidden in-game statistics shows that Egg 1 has the second-highest Mini-Turbo stat in the game, only behind the Dry Bomber. Combined with its low drift stat, Egg 1 is often utilized by players to pull off the "Snaking" technique.

The kart is unlocked for Daisy and R.O.B. as well when the player gets gold trophies in all Nitro or Retro Courses in 150cc, and becomes available for everyone else when gold trophies are obtained in every cup in Mirror Mode.

Mario Kart 7

The Egg 1 reappears as a retro kart body in Mario Kart 7. It is one of the unlockable kart bodies in the game, and it offers an acceleration boost, at the expense of speed and weight. In fact, the Egg 1 is tied with the Birthday Girl and Bumble V for having the highest acceleration of all kart bodies.

In terms of its hidden stats, the Egg 1 offers one of the fastest sea speed stats (tied with the Tiny Tug) in the game, making it pretty effective for underwater racing.

Equipping the Egg 1 with Roller tires will resemble the original Mario Kart DS version.

CPUs Peach and Wario can sometimes be seen driving in this body.

The Mario Kart 7 incarnation of the Egg 1 also appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, driven by Yoshi.

Trophy description from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Your opponents will be filled with envy when you break this out in Mario Kart 7.	This kart combo looks like it belongs in a theme park rather than on a racetrack.
