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. The Classic Dragster and Zucchini from Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7, respectively, are similar to this kart.

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.

Mario Kart Tour
The Cucumber reappears in Mario Kart Tour. It was added in the Berlin Tour and is classified as a Super kart. It uses the Off-Road tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and its seat is now colored beige instead of brown. The Cucumber increases the duration of Slipstream boosts and provides more points upon performing a Slipstream.

The Cucumber has two variants: a Super kart called the Dasher II and a High-End kart called the Iron Cucumber. The Cucumber was added after the Dasher II, making it one of two karts that were introduced after variants of them were, the other being the Prancer, which was introduced after the Gilded Prancer.
