Mushmellow

The Mushmellow is a kart in the Mario Kart series. It is a small kart shaped like a Mushroom. The kart's name is a portmanteau of "mushroom" and "marshmallow", also including the word "mellow". The emblem appears on the stalk (where a Mushroom's eyes would go). In Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 and Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, a similar kart called the Mash Run appears, with the Japanese names implying it is a variant of the Mushmellow.

Mario Kart DS
The Mushmellow first appears in Mario Kart DS, as Toad's first special kart. It has high handling tying with the Standard LG, Streamliner, ROB-BLS and Standard RB. It also has high drift matching the Hurricane, Standard TD and Standard BW. It has fairly low speed, matching the Standard TD and Royale. It is also very light, with its weight tying with the Egg 1. Its items stat is low, but features high acceleration tying with the Standard TD, Egg 1, Standard YS and Cucumber.

The kart is unlocked for Yoshi 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 Mushmellow returns in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a Normal kart. It uses the Pipe Frame's tires. The Mushmellow increases speed boosts and points resulted from Jump Boosts. The game also introduces two variants, one simply named the Pink Mushmellow, which also has the Normal classification, and another called the Cheermellow, which is a High-End kart exclusive to the Winter Tour.

The Mushmellow is normally available in regular pipes and the Daily Selects. However, throughout the game's history, it could be obtained in other ways as well. The following table lists all instances of special availability for the Mushmellow by tour.
