Standard Kart: Difference between revisions

Standard Karts are redesigned in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' with an appearance resembling the [[Toad Kart]] and [[Toadette Kart]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', while retaining the same engine sound from ''Mario Kart Wii''. In this game, the Standard Karts (along with the other karts) are equipped with retractable hang-gliders and propellers for driving underwater. It tends to have average stats, with below average stats in underwater handling and Mini-Turbo. This game also introduces the [[Gold Standard]] and the return of [[Pipe Frame]], the kart that appeared in the first three ''Mario Kart'' games. Unique to this game, the Standard Kart's engine sound is not shared with any other vehicles and is recycled from the Wii Standard Kart with little changes to the idling and acceleration sounds.

The Standard Kart returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', once again redesigned and looking identical to the one seen in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', but with slightly more rounded bodywork and smaller engine block. In ''Mario Kart 8'' the Standard Kart again tends to have average stats, with above average air speed and off-road traction while having below average acceleration and anti-gravity handling, while in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' the Standard Kart has an increased acceleration, Mini-Turbo, anti-gravity speed, ground handling and anti-gravity handling at the expense of decreased off-road traction and air speed, leading to average values in all stats. Like the ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart 7'' counterparts, it has a two-stroke engine and its sound is shared with the [[Pipe Frame]], [[Teddy Buggy]], [[Wild Wiggler]], [[Sneeker]] and [[Splat Buggy]].
