Cucumber

The Cucumber is a kart that first debuted in Mario Kart DS. It resembles a green 1930s single-seater racing car or a sandrail. The emblem is located on the hood.

Mario Kart DS
The Cucumber first appears as Yoshi's second original kart. It has average speed and weight, low drift, and high acceleration, handling, and items. The kart is unlocked for Luigi and Dry Bones 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.

The Classic Dragster from Mario Kart Wii resembles the Cucumber.

A similar looking vehicle, called the Zucchini (Gherkin in Europe), appeared in Mario Kart 7.

Mario Kart Tour
The Cucumber reappears in Mario Kart Tour. Introduced in the Berlin Tour, it is classified as a Super kart, and the duration of Slipstream boosts and points earned from performing one are increased when using this kart. It uses the Off-Road tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

It also has two variants, one of which is called the Dasher II, which debuted in the Mario Bros. Tour as a tour-exclusive Super kart, and the Iron Cucumber, which debuted in the same tour as the regular Cucumber. This makes the Cucumber one of three karts that were introduced after variants of them were; the others being the Prancer, which was introduced after the Gilded Prancer, and the Sushi Racer, which was introduced after the Pirate Sushi Racer.
