Kart: Difference between revisions

</gallery>

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the basic models of the karts, seen from ''Super Mario Kart'' to ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', are taken out. For the ''Mario Kart'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], the karts appear in new models and styles. Most of them reflect some character's special characteristics, such as Mario's kart, the [[Red Fire]], which it is a red and blue-colored all-terrain vehicle, rendering Mario's letter ''M'' emblem on its body and wheels. The design of the karts also are changed, regarding the new concept "two racers in one vehicle" within the game. The karts have a seat on the front where a character drives the kart and a platform in the rear of the vehicle where the second character is able to use an [[item]], taken from the [[Item Box]]es. Just as in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the karts are split in three weight groups: Light, Medium, and Heavy. The use of these karts is determined by the characters' weights; therefore, while one of the two characters has a higher weight, characters use a kart within the Medium or Heavy weight class. Pairing both lightweight characters results in a vehicle used as a light kart. The [[Parade Kart]] breaks this rule, being usable for any character. The player can press the item button ({{button|gcn|X}}/{{button|gcn|Y}}) (without the rear character holding an item) to sound the horn, and the rear player makes a small pose.
