Koopa Dasher

The Koopa Dasher is Koopa Troopa's kart in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It shaped like a green Koopa Shell that has a 'K' on it with 4 shells as wheels. In the early screenshots, it had an 'N', because Koopa's Japanese name is Nokonoko. It is a lightweight kart, and is a default when the game begins.

The Koopa Dasher is unique among the other lightweight karts, being larger compared to the others. That said, the Koopa Dasher has a little more weight and can take stronger hits from heavier weighted karts (such as Daisy's Bloom Coach). It also has below average speed, excellent acceleration, and decent steering capabilities. Despite it having a two star speed stat, its speed is really tied with the Boo Pipes and the Goo Goo Buggy. Additionally, the Koopa Dasher bounces more than the Toad Kart and Rattle Buggy, despite being heavier than them.

Despite its four star acceleration, the Koopa Dasher has the best acceleration in the game, tied with the Toadette Kart.
