Kart

Karts 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. They might appear in Mario Kart Wii, but it is unknown.

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.
