Zucchini

The Zucchini (known as the Gherkin in the British English version of its debut game) is a kart in the Mario Kart series. It resembles a mid-sixties racecar, particularly those made by Lotus. It can be considered a counterpart to the Cucumber from Mario Kart DS and Classic Dragster from Mario Kart Wii. It shares the same horn sound effect when bumped into as the Cucumber.

Mario Kart 7
The Zucchini first appears in Mario Kart 7 as an unlockable kart part. It has a speed boost, while hindering acceleration and handling. It is tied with the B Dasher, Blue Seven, and Bruiser for having the highest speed of all kart bodies. In terms of its hidden stats, however, the Zucchini hardly has any pros outside of its speed stat.

CPU Luigi and Wario can occasionally be seen driving in this body.

It has the same engine sound as the Bolt Buggy, which in turn is based on the Koopa King from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Mario Kart Tour
The Zucchini returns in Mario Kart Tour, where is is classified as a Super kart. Mini-Turbos last longer and yield more points when using this kart. It uses the Pipe Frame's tires.
