Parade Kart

The Parade Kart is an unlockable kart in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It is unlocked by winning the All-Cup Tour in Mirror Mode. The Parade Kart is the only kart that CPU opponents cannot use.

Initially, Toadsworth drives the Grand Prix winners in a parade on this kart, but it can be unlocked for racing by completing All-Cup Tour in Mirror Mode. The kart also appears in the "true" "Thanks for playing!" screen where everyone gets to celebrate after a tournament.

The Parade Kart is unlike other karts in that it can be used by any character combination, regardless of weight class. The Parade Kart is one of the only four karts with a unique engine sound, the other three being the DK Jumbo, Barrel Train, and Koopa King. The Parade Kart makes a sparkle effect while driving, and is the only kart to have a unique visual effect.

This kart has good speed, average acceleration, and is rather heavy. However, its weight is only heavy enough to rival the Turbo Birdo and Wario Car. In terms of its actual stats, although it has a four-star speed stat, the Parade Kart is one of the slower karts, as its top speed is only tied with that of the Green Fire and Wario Car. Likewise, despite having a three-star acceleration stat, the Parade Kart is one of the slower accelerating karts, as it accelerates equally to the Red Fire, Turbo Birdo, and Bullet Blaster. Its off-road stat is tied with the Wario Car.

A disadvantage of using the Parade Kart is its wide structure, as this causes it to crash into objects more easily or for opponents to hit it with items. However, the Parade Kart's width makes it easier to drive over items on the track, such as Dash Mushrooms.
