'''''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''''' is a [[Genre#Racing|racing]] game developed and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] and a part of the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. It was released in November 2003 worldwide, being released in Japan first and later being rereleased as a [[Player's Choice]] title in Australia and New Zealand.<ref>Vuckovic, D. [https://www.vooks.net/mario-kart-double-dash-now-players-choice/amp/ Mario Kart Double Dash now Players Choice]. ''Vooks''. Retrieved January 9, 2022.</ref> The game, while retaining many aspects of the previous ''Mario Kart'' games, such as selecting a [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] character as the player's driver and the familiar item-based weaponry that the series employs, introduces a feature that is unique to this entry in the ''Mario Kart'' series: the two-person karts, hence the title of the game. Two characters handle a single kart, where one character steers and the other uses the 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.

Because of the team mechanic, ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' includes 20 playable characters, with 9 returning characters and 11 newcomers. New characters include [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Birdo]], [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Waluigi]], [[Toadette]], [[Petey Piranha]], and [[King Boo]], with Baby Luigi, Toadette, and King Boo also making their overall playable debuts, and Toadette making her first appearance in any game. It is also [[Koopa Troopa]]'s first playable appearance in the series since ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. This is the only ''Mario Kart'' game to feature more playable characters than it does race courses. Characters are divided into three classes depending on their weight: <font color=blue>Light</font>, <font color=green>Medium</font>, and <font color=red>Heavy</font>. There are eight default teams and two unlockable teams, a total of ten teams and twenty individual characters which can be combined in any way, giving 190 possible character combinations. Pressing {{button|gcn|L}} and {{button|gcn|R}} together before selecting any character chooses a random pair of characters and a random kart to play as. In multiplayer mode, it randomizes everyone's character and kart.

A fifth cup, the All-Cup Tour is the conglomeration of all the cups in the game. It is unlocked after players beat the Special Cup in 150cc. The sixteen races are played through one after another in random order, with the exceptions of Luigi Circuit always appearing first and Rainbow Road always appearing last. This cup does not appear in other racing modes.

===Time Trial===
|style="display:inline-block; background:white; maxwidth:400px" width=400px|
In Time Trial, a single player races courses over a set number of laps to record the fastest completion time. Before racing, adding the player's name entry registers their records available. When a race starts, the characters have two [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s in hand for speed boost. The best time elapsed in a lap and a race on a specific track is saved after completing the race. Once a race is completed on a course, the user is able to compete against either their [[Ghost (Mario Kart series)|Ghost]] from the current Ghost data or, once unlocked, the Staff Ghost within the stage. Otherwise, if a race is failed, the Ghost data is not saved. The Ghost data recording can be disabled in the Options screen menu. Each Ghost save is worth five blocks on the GameCube [[Memory Card]].

In ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the players can even "steal" balloons from their rivals, using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] to dash into them or hitting with a [[star]]. This new feature has been kept for future ''Mario Kart'' games. In Co-op play, the rear player can also take away opponents' balloons while doing a Slide Attack. Unlike ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', the players no longer transform into [[Mini Bomb Kart]]s or [[Bob-omb]]s after being taken out, and instead just vanish.

For two players, competitors need three stars to win the battle, while for three or four players, they need four.

{|border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 margin=0 padding=0 style="border:1px solid black; border-collapse:collapse; height:100%" width=100%
Versus (for two to four players) allows racers to select their characters and karts, and compete among themselves on the tracks. It is also possible to play in versus mode through a LAN connection where more than four players can join a competition. Additionally, there are some versus options found in the Option menu to change the mode's gameplay:
|width=50% style="background:white"|[[File:RainbowRoadLogo-MKDD.png]]
*'''Number of Laps:''' The number of laps set over all tracks, ranging from one to nine. If one lap is chosen, the beginning of the race starts as a Final Lap with Final Lap fanfare music.
|width=50% rowspan=2 style="background:#EAECF0"|[[File:RainbowRoadMap-MKDD.png]]
*'''Items:''' The variety of items given to the racers can be changed to:
|-
**'''Recommended:''' Default way in obtaining certain item by racer's place.
|style="background:white"|[[File:RainbowRoadIcon-MKDD.png]]
**'''Basic:''' Powerful items such as [[Lightning]] and [[Super Star|Stars]] are rarely obtainable.
|-
**'''Frantic:''' Basic items such as [[Fake Item Box|Fake Items]], [[Banana]]s, and [[Green Shell]]s are rarely obtainable.
!colspan=2 style="background:#EAECF0"|<big>'''[[Rainbow Road (GCN)|Rainbow Road]]'''</big>
**'''None:''' No items to use at all.
|}
 
|-
!style="background:#EAECF0"|[[File:AllCupTourLogo MKDD.png]]<br><big>'''[[All-Cup Tour]]'''</big>
|}
 
A fifth cup, the All-Cup Tour is the conglomeration of all the cups in the game. It is unlocked after players beat the Special Cup in 150cc. The sixteen races are played through one after another in random order, with the exceptions of Luigi Circuit always appearing first and Rainbow Road always appearing last. This cup does not appear in other racing modes.
 
In GP Mode, two players can join a race, as themselves or in Co-op play. Players can play Grand Prix mode with two players in different karts or in co-op mode with two to four players.


===Co-op play===
===Time Trial===
Supporting the main feature in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' upon two-racers-one-kart, Cooperative Play (also said Co-op Play) lets two players control their respective character in a kart, one being the driver and the other as the item thrower. While playing in Co-op mode, the players' characters can perform special moves that a single player cannot make. The rear character can perform a Slide Attack to steal an item from their rivals while messing up the rival's vehicle's controls. Both players can even double the power of the [[Rocket Start]] by pressing the {{button|gcn|A}} button at the same time. This special boost is the [[Rocket Start#Double Dash|Double Dash]].
In Time Trial, a single player races courses over a set number of laps to record the fastest completion time. Before racing, adding the player's name entry registers their records available. When a race starts, the characters have two [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s in hand for speed boost. The best time elapsed in a lap and a race on a specific track is saved after completing the race. Once a race is completed on a course, the user is able to compete against either their [[Ghost (Mario Kart series)|Ghost]] from the current Ghost data or, once unlocked, the Staff Ghost within the stage. Otherwise, if a race is failed, the Ghost data is not saved. The Ghost data recording can be disabled in the Options screen menu. Each Ghost save is worth five blocks on the GameCube [[Memory Card]].


The following table below excludes Time Trial as it is a single player exclusive mode.  
In Japan, players were able to submit special codes in Time Trial mode as part of a contest. The content never existed outside of Japan, but the results of the code [[cheat code#Mario Kart: Double Dash!!|can still be accessed in all versions of the game]].

==Karts==
|style="display:inline-block; background:white; maxwidth:400px" width=400px|
[[File:MKDD Kart Compatibility.png|thumb|350px|Scan from page 22 of the instruction booklet.]]
{|border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 margin=0 padding=0 style="border:1px solid black; border-collapse:collapse; height:100%" width=100%
Twenty-one karts are available in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', notable for having different designs and appearances. There is one kart for each character, plus the [[Parade Kart]]. Every kart has three ratings, rated by the number of stars. The maximum amount is five.
|width=50% style="background:white"|[[File:BlockCityLogo-MKDD.png]]
*'''Acceleration:''' How quickly a kart can achieve its top speed.
|width=50% rowspan=2 style="background:#EAECF0"|[[File:BlockCityMap-MKDD.png]]
*'''Speed:''' The level of top speed when the kart goes forward.
*'''Weight:''' The weight of the kart.
Just as the characters are classified according to their weights, karts are split into three groups in size with some general characteristics:
*<font color=blue>'''Light:'''</font> Lightweight karts show a nice acceleration but poor top speed and low weight. They can be easily bumped away by heavier karts. They do not lose a lot of speed when they go off course.
*<font color=green>'''Medium:'''</font> Medium-weight vehicles show average top speed and acceleration. Some karts within this group have slightly varied stats, though.
*<font color=red>'''Heavy:'''</font> Heavyweight karts have the highest level of weight among the karts, capable of knocking away light and medium-weight vehicles. Many of these show high top speed, although their acceleration and off-road are fairly poor.
As shown from the image, each combination of characters also determines the class of kart that is used for the race. The Parade Kart, unlocked by completing All-Cup Tour in Mirror Mode, however, can be driven by any combination of characters.

==Karts==
[[File:MKDD Kart Compatibility.png|thumb|350px|Scan from page 22 of the instruction booklet.]]
Twenty-one karts are available in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', notable for having different designs and appearances. There is one kart for each character, plus the [[Parade Kart]]. Every kart has three ratings, rated by the number of stars. The maximum amount is five.
*'''Acceleration:''' How quickly a kart can achieve its top speed.
*'''Speed:''' The level of top speed when the kart goes forward.
*'''Weight:''' The weight of the kart.
Just as the characters are classified according to their weights, karts are split into three groups in size with some general characteristics:
*<font color=blue>'''Light:'''</font> Lightweight karts show good acceleration but poor top speed and low weight. They can be easily bumped away by heavier karts. They do not lose a lot of speed when they go off course, but their turning is too wide.
*<font color=green>'''Medium:'''</font> Medium-weight vehicles show average top speed and acceleration. Some karts within this group have slightly varied stats, however.
*<font color=red>'''Heavy:'''</font> Heavyweight karts have the highest level of weight among the karts, capable of knocking away most light and some medium-weight vehicles/characters away. Many of these show high top speed, although their acceleration and off-road are fairly poor. They also have tighter turning.
As shown from the image, each combination of characters also determines the class of kart that is used for the race. The Parade Kart, unlocked by completing All-Cup Tour in Mirror Mode, however, can be driven by any combination of characters.

=====Actual stats=====
The stars shown on the vehicle selection screen are less precise than the actual values used by the game;<ref name="data">[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IRxK5lKZooopd3vx6mb069I414UsucaQFntal3L2cTA/edit?usp=sharing A transcription of the actual stats of the vehicles used in the game.]</ref> Speed and Weight each have 9 distinct values rather than 5, and the differences in Acceleration are mainly due to two values, generating 9 possible combinations that do not necessarily line up with the menu stats: the first value affects mainly the first phase of acceleration while starting from a standstill, the second affects acceleration when the speed is higher than around 50% of the maximum speed.<ref name="interpretation">[https://web.archive.org/web/20181021022350/https://forums.mkboards.com/threads/how-to-read-the-transcribed-in-game-values-of-mario-kart-double-dash.20413/ Observations on how to read the transcribed in-game data.]</ref><ref>Mister Wu's raw ''Mario Kart'' data (November 22, 2015).

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeYsBfb0yQE ''MKDD'' - The second acceleration parameter]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 9, 2016.</ref> When drifting, acceleration depends on values that are the same for all karts. Drifting itself can begin when the speed of the kart is at least 15 km/h (26 units). When the speed is lower than that, trying to drift results in the kart having an acceleration value proportional to the first acceleration value, but considerably smaller than that.<ref name="interpretation"/><ref>Mister Wu's raw ''Mario Kart'' data (December 8, 2015). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfsuv8wjAg ''MKDD'' - acceleration while drifting test]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved March 23, 2016.</ref> It is also important to note that the values determine acceleration in terms of increase of relative speed, the fraction of current speed to top speed, over time.<ref>Mister Wu's raw ''Mario Kart'' data (February 1, 2016). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH_Zm3wz0ZQ ''MKDD'' - The acceleration determined by the acceleration parameters is relative]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 9,2016.</ref><br>
Speed is reported in units, from which the values in the speedometer are calculated using the following conversion factors:<ref name="interpretation"/>
S<sub>km/h</sub> = S<sub>units</sub> / 1.75<br>
S<sub>mph</sub> = S<sub>units</sub> / 2.5
Speed is actually capped at 175 units (100 km/h, 70 mph).<ref>Thomas Beumann (April 2012). [http://home.online.nl/tbeuman/mkdd/techs.html ''MKDD'' for Noobs - Techniques]. Retrieved November 2, 2015.</ref><br>
Furthermore, there is a hidden Off-Road stat that determines a vehicle's top speed in most off-road terrains, such as grass. Weak off-road patches, like the yellow sand in [[GCN Dry Dry Desert|Dry Dry Desert]], reduce the kart's top speed by a fixed 20 units (~11 km/h, 8 mph). On the other hand, middle off-road patches, such as the grassy and sandy part where the [[Chain Chomp]] lies in [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]], reduce speed to a value dependent on the kart chosen. Finally, heavy Off-Road areas such as the reddish sand in ''Dry Dry Desert'' or underwater parts, slow down all karts to a fixed 40 units speed (23 km/h, 16 mph).<ref name="interpretation"/><br>
When shrunken by [[Lightning]], the top speed in normal roads and weak off-road sections goes down by 20 units, while the top speed in medium off-road sections goes down by 10 units. The top speed in heavy off-road sections stays unaltered.<ref name="data"/><br>
All karts have their own Mini-Turbo value, however all light karts have a Mini-Turbo boost that lasts 30 frames, all medium karts have a 20 frames Mini-Turbo boost, and all heavy karts have a 10 frames Mini-Turbo boost. The [[Parade Kart]] also has a Mini-Turbo boost that lasts 30 frames.<ref name="interpretation"/>

=====Actual stats=====
The stars shown on the vehicle selection screen are less precise than the actual values used by the game;<ref name="data">[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IRxK5lKZooopd3vx6mb069I414UsucaQFntal3L2cTA/edit?usp=sharing A transcription of the actual stats of the vehicles used in the game.]</ref> Speed and Weight each have 9 distinct values rather than 5, and the differences in Acceleration are mainly due to two values, generating 9 possible combinations that do not necessarily line up with the menu stats: the first value affects mainly the first phase of acceleration while starting from a standstill, the second affects acceleration when the speed is higher than around 50% of the maximum speed.<ref name="interpretation">[https://web.archive.org/web/20181021022350/https://forums.mkboards.com/threads/how-to-read-the-transcribed-in-game-values-of-mario-kart-double-dash.20413/ Observations on how to read the transcribed in-game data.]</ref><ref>Mister Wu's raw ''Mario Kart'' data (November 22, 2015).

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeYsBfb0yQE ''MKDD'' - The second acceleration parameter]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 9, 2016.</ref> When drifting, acceleration depends on values that are the same for all karts. Drifting itself can begin when the speed of the kart is at least 15 km/h (26 units). When the speed is lower than that, trying to drift results in the kart having an acceleration value proportional to the first acceleration value, but considerably smaller than that.<ref name="interpretation"/><ref>Mister Wu's raw ''Mario Kart'' data (December 8, 2015). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBfsuv8wjAg ''MKDD'' - acceleration while drifting test]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved March 23, 2016.</ref> It is also important to note that the values determine acceleration in terms of increase of relative speed, the fraction of current speed to top speed, over time.<ref>Mister Wu's raw ''Mario Kart'' data (February 1, 2016). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH_Zm3wz0ZQ ''MKDD'' - The acceleration determined by the acceleration parameters is relative]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 9,2016.</ref><br>
Speed is reported in units, from which the values in the speedometer are calculated using the following conversion factors:<ref name="interpretation"/>
S<sub>km/h</sub> = S<sub>units</sub> / 1.75<br>
S<sub>mph</sub> = S<sub>units</sub> / 2.5
Speed is actually capped at 175 units (100 km/h, 70 mph).<ref>Thomas Beumann (April 2012). [http://home.online.nl/tbeuman/mkdd/techs.html ''MKDD'' for Noobs - Techniques]. Retrieved November 2, 2015.</ref><br>
Furthermore, there is a hidden Off-Road stat that determines a vehicle's top speed in most off-road terrains, such as grass. Weak off-road patches, like the yellow sand in [[GCN Dry Dry Desert|Dry Dry Desert]], reduce the kart's top speed by a fixed 20 units (~11 km/h, 8 mph). On the other hand, middle off-road patches, such as the grassy and sandy part where the [[Chain Chomp]] lies in [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]], reduce speed to a value dependent on the kart chosen. Finally, heavy Off-Road areas such as the reddish sand in ''Dry Dry Desert'' or underwater parts, slow down all karts to a fixed 40 units speed (23 km/h, 16 mph).<ref name="interpretation"/><br>
When shrunken by [[Lightning]], the top speed in normal roads and weak off-road sections goes down by 20 units, while the top speed in medium off-road sections goes down by 10 units. The top speed in heavy off-road sections stays unaltered.<ref name="data"/><br>
All karts have their own Mini-Turbo value, however all light karts have a Mini-Turbo boost that lasts 30 frames, all medium karts have a 20 frames Mini-Turbo boost, and all heavy karts have a 10 frames Mini-Turbo boost. The [[Parade Kart]] also has a Mini-Turbo boost that lasts 30 frames.<ref name="interpretation"/>

}}
Traditional items from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' through ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' appear in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' with a bunch of new power-ups to change a race drastically, such as stealing the opponent's place or item by using a Mushroom or reducing the racers to small size with the rare Lightning. The rear character obtains a determinate item by running into an [[Item Box]]. However, [[Double Item Box]]es give items to both the rear character and driver. The variety of items depends on the kart's place. Leader racers tend to receive basic items such as Bananas or Green Shells, while those going under fourth place can receive rare items like a Star or a Spiny Shell.  
 
Items are classified in two forms:
*'''Standard:''' Drivers can obtain these types of items when they go through an Item Box or Double Item Box.
*'''Special:''' Some drivers obtain a special item that other drivers cannot obtain by an Item Box. When a character holds a special item, the second character cannot obtain another special item via Item Box.

==Staff Ghosts==
{{main|Special Item (Mario Kart series)}}
This game follows ''Mario Kart 64'' in including the possibility to race against Staff Ghosts, ghosts created by Nintendo staff as the main ghosts of the course. They can be unlocked by achieving a certain time on the respective course. Below is a table showing all Staff Ghosts and their respective times.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/mario-kart-double-dash/cheats/]</ref> Generally speaking, the character in the driver's seat corresponds to the "owner" of the course; between them, [[Bowser Jr.]] is the only default character to lack a designated course.

}}
Traditional items from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' through ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' appear in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' with a bunch of new power-ups to change a race drastically, such as stealing the opponent's place or item by using a Mushroom or reducing the racers to small size with the rare Lightning. The rear character obtains a determinate item by running into an [[Item Box]]. However, [[Double Item Box]]es give items to both the rear character and driver. The variety of items depends on the kart's place. Leader racers tend to receive basic items such as Bananas or Green Shells, while those going under fourth place can receive rare items like a Star or a Spiny Shell.
 
Items are classified in two forms:
*'''Standard:''' Drivers can obtain these types of items when they go through an Item Box or Double Item Box.
*'''Special:''' Some drivers obtain a special item that other drivers cannot obtain by an Item Box. When a character holds a special item, the second character cannot obtain another special item via Item Box.

*[[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]] have the ability to obtain any special item, excluding [[green Fireball]]s and Birdo's Egg.
*Note: Although special items can only be obtained by the characters they are assigned to, if a player is holding a special item, another player can steal it by colliding with the player holding the item while under the influence of a Mushroom, Star, or Slide Attack. Also, any character can get any special item in Battle Mode. Finally, in Co-Op Mode, the driver can pass a special item to the person in the back.

The Double Dash is similar to the Rocket Start. Although it is more powerful, it can only be performed in [[#Co-op play|Co-op play]].

The kart that is picked is the one that belongs to the driver. If their respective kart has not been unlocked on one of the memory cards, then they use their respective partner's kart (e.g. Luigi uses Mario's kart). The exception is that if a small character is paired with a large character, then the large kart is used instead. This means that the Piranha Pipes, Boo Pipes, and Parade Kart cannot be used in LAN mode.
