Two characters handle a single kart, where one character drives and the other uses items, and they can switch positions at any time if necessary. This is the only game in the franchise where two players can play cooperatively in one kart, with each player handling a single character, though the option to play in separate 2-person karts for each player is still available. In addition, the game introduces [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special Items]], items that are exclusive to a pair of characters. The game is one of the few games to take advantage of LAN Mode via the [[Nintendo GameCube Broadband Adapter]], which allows up to sixteen players to participate in a single race. | ||
''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is the first ''Mario Kart'' game in the series to employ 3D graphics for characters and items, as opposed to ''Mario Kart 64'' using pre-rendered sprites to display these objects. The game also introduces a larger variety of karts to select from depending on the character combo's weight class rather than the standard [[Pipe Frame|go-kart]] being the sole vehicle all racers use, and this variety of vehicles has been retained in all the ''Mario Kart'' games since. | ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is the first ''Mario Kart'' game in the series to employ 3D graphics for characters and items, as opposed to ''Mario Kart 64'' using pre-rendered sprites to display these objects.
