Kart

Karts (not to be confused with Car) are the vehicles used in the Mario Kart series. They are Go-Karts of many different colors.

Karts first appeared in Super Mario Kart, then Mario Kart 64, then Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Arcade GP and finally, Mario Kart Arcade GP 2.

A Kart also appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee as a trophy.

In Mario Kart DS, all karts have about even stats (depending on the character's weight, the weight changes) with the occasional high or low.

Trivia

 * The Kart appears in Nintendo Monopoly, where it replaces Reading Railroad as a purchasable station. It costs $200.

''The famous racing karts from the ever-popular Mario Kart racing series come loaded for spee with three different engine sizes: 50, 100, and 150 cc. The karts' handling differs with the characters driving them, but all of them utilize Mario Kart standards like drift, jump, and turbo. They're extremely durable and impossible to total.''
