The series has spawned a total of 44 playable drivers in the main console/handheld installments, along with five third-party characters in the ''Arcade GP'' series and [[Mii]]s from ''Mario Kart Wii'' onward. If one includes the multiple-colored Yoshis, Shy Guys and ''Mario Kart 8'' downloadable characters, there are 68 playable drivers in total. [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Yoshi]], [[Toad]], and [[Bowser]] are the only characters to have been playable in all titles. Also, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Bowser are the only characters to be classified as the same weight class in every ''Mario Kart'' title, and this means Peach and Yoshi are the only ones to appear in all games to switch between the weight classes in the games (they are a middleweight in all console games, excluding ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', and a lightweight in the handheld games and ''Mario Kart 64''). Out of all these characters, Toad is the only one to be both a default and unlockable driver, being available from the start in all games except ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. [[Wario]] and [[Donkey Kong]] have been playable in every title since ''Mario Kart 64'', and since then other characters have been playable in all main games after their respective ''Mario Kart'' debut, namely [[Princess Daisy]], [[Rosalina]], and [[Mii]]s. [[Waluigi]] is the only playable character in the series to have been classified in all three weight classes (he is a middleweight in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and ''Mario Kart DS'', a heavyweight in ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart 8'', and a lightweight in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''). | The series has spawned a total of 44 playable drivers in the main console/handheld installments, along with five third-party characters in the ''Arcade GP'' series and [[Mii]]s from ''Mario Kart Wii'' onward.
