Template:Kart-infobox The Pipe Frame is the standard kart used in Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and a customizable kart part in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8. Throughout the various Mario Kart games it appears in, the Pipe Frame changes color depending on the character driving in it. In the first three installments of the Mario Kart series, the Pipe Frame acts as the main standard kart. The abilities of the kart depend on the driver so the kart itself has no strong or weak points. In Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8, the Pipe Frame appears as an unlockable kart body in both and generally gave a boost in acceleration while decreasing the weight.
Mario Kart 7
The Pipe Frame appears in Mario Kart 7 as a retro kart body. It has the Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Super Circuit design. In this game the kart offers a good boost in acceleration and off-road, but hinders speed and weight. The Pipe Frame is one of the three kart parts to have a different color for each character. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Toad, and Wario retain the same colored kart from Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Super Circuit.

Mario Kart 8
The Pipe Frame returns in Mario Kart 8 as a retro kart body, reverted to the Super Mario Kart design featuring a tubular engine with one exhaust pipe, rather than a cubic engine with two exhaust pipes used in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Super Circuit. It also contains a small circular piece of metal on the front, which displays the current character's emblem.
Unlike past installments, the colors of the Pipe Frame are now shared with multiple characters, featuring 23 unique colors used between the 35 characters (and of those, thirteen of the colors are exclusive to one character, counting alternate colors for Yoshi and Shy Guy, but excluding Miis). Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Wario once again retain their colored karts from Mario Kart 64, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and Koopa Troopa retains its colored kart from Super Mario Kart.
In addition, all the Koopalings (except for Morton) have unique colored steering wheels for their karts, as opposed to the standard black for the secondary color. Also, all the Koopalings have unique colored exhaust systems, as opposed to the standard gold for the tertiary color, and their wheel hinges are uniquely colored, instead of being colored gray.
The Pipe Frame gives a good boost in acceleration and handling, but hinders weight and traction. Its stats are identical to those of the Wild Wiggler, Standard Bike, Flame Rider, Varmint, W 25 Silver Arrow, and City Tripper.
Like the Standard Kart, Standard Bike, and Standard ATV, the Pipe Frame body is occasionally used by all the CPU-controlled characters (excluding the Miis and alternate colors of Yoshi and Shy Guy). Most CPU players will always pair the Pipe Frame with the Standard tires, but a few may use the Monster tires instead.

Mario Kart 8
Club Nintendo
"Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All"
In the Club Nintendo comic "Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All", Mario and Luigi are seen driving karts in their mission to find a spaceship shaped like the Nintendo 64. They compete against Wario and Bowser and make another reference to the Mario Kart games by dropping Banana Peels and making them crash. The karts seen in this comic resemble those seen in the then-new Mario Kart 64. Unlike their video game equivalents, though, they can also be turned into jet skis by pushing a button on their steering-wheels.
Mario Kirby Meisaku Video
A Pipe Frame makes an apperance resembling the one in Super Mario Kart in the Mario segment of the Mario Kirby Meisaku Video where Mario drives it during his pursuit of the mysterious thief W. Eventually, after being attacked by some monsters, he spins out near a vegetable garden.
Super Mario-Kun
Pipe Frame karts are seen in the Mario Kart adaptions of Super Mario-Kun. The first time they appear, Mario races against other characters including Donkey Kong Jr. and Bowser.
Super Smash Bros. series

Racing Kart | File:Trophy213.PNG | Super Mario Kart 9/92 |
The famous racing karts from the ever-popular Mario Kart racing series come loaded for speed with three different engine sizes: 50, 100, and 150 cc. The karts' handling differs with the characters driving them, but all of them utilize Mario Kart standards like drift, jump, and turbo. They're extremely durable and impossible to total. |

Trivia
- In Mario Kart 7, white is the only Mii color to receive a unique Pipe Frame color, as no other character uses a white Pipe Frame.
- In Mario Kart 8, this trait instead applies to the color brown, unless the alternate Yoshi and Shy Guy colors are not downloaded; in that case white remains an exclusive to Miis.
