The Mushmellow is a kart in the Mario Kart series. It is a small kart shaped like a Mushroom. The kart's name is a portmanteau of "mushroom" and "marshmallow", also including the word "mellow". The emblem is located on the stalk, which is where a Mushroom's eyes would go. In Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 and Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, a similar kart called the Mash Run appears, with the Japanese names implying it is a variant of the Mushmellow.

History

Mario Kart DS

The Mushmellow first appears in Mario Kart DS, as Toad's default signature kart. It has high acceleration and above-average handling and drift, but its speed, weight, and items are fairly low. Its weight is tied with the Poltergust 4000; its handling is tied with the Streamliner and ROB-BLS; and its drift is tied with the Hurricane.

The kart is unlocked for Yoshi and Dry Bones to drive when the player wins a gold trophy in all Nitro or Retro cups on 150cc, and becomes available for everyone else when a gold trophy is obtained in every cup on 150cc Mirror Mode.

Mario Kart Tour

The Mushmellow returns in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a Normal kart. It uses the Pipe Frame's tires. The Mushmellow increases the duration of Jump Boost speed boosts and the number of points earned for performing Jump Boosts.

The game introduces two variants, one simply named the Pink Mushmellow, which also has the Normal classification, and another called the Cheermellow, which is a High-End kart that was introduced in the 2019 Winter Tour.

The Mushmellow appears in the First Pipe and Second Pipe of every tour and is a part of the Daily Selects set. Throughout the game's history, it could be obtained in other ways as well, shown in the table below by tour.
