| The '''Barrel Train''' is a [[kart]] in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. It is a {{iw|wikipedia|traction engine}} with elements of a railroad locomotive and a [[barrel]], and it resembles the train from [[N64 Kalimari Desert|Kalimari Desert]] as well as the [[K64]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Its horn makes the sound of a train whistle. Like any steam engine, the Barrel Train's exhaust pipe is a smokestack. | | The '''Barrel Train''' is [[Diddy Kong]]'s lightweight [[kart]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It is unlocked by completing the [[Star Cup]] in 150cc. Its nitrous comes from the horn, which makes the sound of a train whistle when speed boosting. Like any steam engine, the Barrel Train's exhaust pipe is a smokestack. It resembles the train from [[Kalimari Desert]] as well as the [[K64]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | The Barrel Train is the heaviest lightweight kart in the game; its weight is tied with the [[Red Fire]] and [[Heart Coach]] karts, which are middleweight. It is also the only lightweight kart that can push around the middleweight [[Green Fire]] and [[Bloom Coach]] karts. It is tied with the [[Bullet Blaster]] as the fastest light kart, however it also has the weakest acceleration of its weight class. |
| ===''Mario Kart'' series===
| |
| ====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
| |
| The Barrel Train first appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' as a lightweight kart serving as the signature kart of [[Diddy Kong]] (although the Prima Official Strategy Guide claims it does not have any associated character<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|author=Hodgson, David S.|date=November 25, 2003|title=''Mario Kart: Double Dash'' PRIMA's Official Strategy Guide|page=34|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=0-7615-4424-0}}</ref>). It can be unlocked by winning the [[Star Cup]] on 150cc. The Barrel Train is the heaviest lightweight kart in the game; its weight is tied with the middleweight [[Red Fire]] and [[Heart Coach]] karts. It is also the only lightweight kart that can push around the middleweight [[Green Fire]] and [[Bloom Coach]] karts. According to the game stats, it is tied with the [[Bullet Blaster]] as the fastest lightweight kart. However, it also has the weakest acceleration of its weight class.
| |
|
| |
|
| Although the game shows a four-star speed stat, the Barrel Train's top speed is tied with that of the Bullet Blaster, [[DK Jumbo]], and [[Piranha Pipes]], and its small size enables it to avoid most hazards more easily. It also has the weakest traction of all karts, as it still maintains its speed briefly after getting hit by the [[Lightning]] item. However, while it has a two-star acceleration stat, the Barrel Train accelerates equally to the Green Fire and [[Wario Car]]. Finally, the Barrel Train is one of the two four-star speed karts to lose the least amount of speed upon going off-road, with the other being the Piranha Pipes.
| | Being a lightweight kart, [[Donkey Kong]] (Diddy's default partner) can't ride on the Barrel Train. Therefore, Diddy needs to be paired with another lightweight to use this kart. |
|
| |
|
| The Barrel Train is one of the only four karts to have a unique engine sound, the other three being the [[DK Jumbo]], [[Koopa King]], and [[Parade Kart]].
| | Although it has a four star speed stat, the Barrel Train is surprisingly faster than the other four star speed karts, including the [[Koopa King]] (which has a five star speed stat), and that's primarily due to the fact that its traction is very weak (the Barrel Train's speed hardly drops at all when hit by a [[Thunderbolt (item)|Thunderbolt]]). Due to this fact, it is the fastest kart in the game. The Barrel Train also accelerates better than any other two star accelerator (the best two star accelerator). It is a popular choice for getting good times in the Time Trials game mode. |
|
| |
|
| The train whistle made by the Barrel Train's horn is identical to the [[nookipedia:Train|train]] from ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]''.
| | This kart is also one of the four karts to have stats "out of the ordinary" for its weight class, with the others being the [[Green Fire]], the [[Boo Pipes]], and the [[Turbo Birdo]]. |
|
| |
|
| ====''Mario Kart 7''====
| | The Barrel Train appears again in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] title ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. Here, its kart body appears as a retro, customizable kart body. The main difference is that it no longer has the green platform, and only contains 4 wheels, thus eliminating the second racer, and making the kart only for one racer. It offers a speed and weight boost, while hindering handling. |

| |
| The Barrel Train is an unlockable kart body in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. It lacks the green platform, and only contains four wheels of the player's choice, thus eliminating the second racer's place, and making the kart only for one racer. Equipping the Barrel Train with [[Slim (tire)|Slim]] tires makes it resemble the original version, despite the missing platform. Similarly to the [[Tiny Tug]], the Barrel Train has a low-revving diesel engine, and its sound is derived from an actual steam train. The star decals on the front and the sides are also removed, filled in by the selected character's emblem. The Barrel Train offers a small speed and weight boost, while hindering handling. In fact, it is tied with the [[Bumble V]] and [[Bruiser]] for having the lowest handling of all kart bodies. In terms of its hidden stats, the Barrel Train offers one of the highest mini-turbo boosts (tied with the Bumble V and [[Koopa Clown]]), but it also has the lowest sea speed of all kart bodies.

| ====''Mario Kart Tour''==== | | ==Stats== |
| The Barrel Train returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', classified as a Super kart. It uses its design from ''Mario Kart 7'', making it the only kart originating in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' to not retain the item user's handlebar. The star decals return on the sides of the kart. It uses the [[Off-Road]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', slightly resembling its original tires (although a pre-release screenshot shows it with the [[Pipe Frame]]'s tires instead). The Barrel Train increases the duration of [[Rocket Start]] boosts and the amount of points earned upon performing a Rocket Start.

| Various items of the Barrel Train have appeared throughout the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there is a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of the Barrel Train that can be equipped to any fighter in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] to increase their leg attack power by 19 points. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', there is a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Donkey Kong in the ''Mario Kart 7'' incarnation of the Barrel Train. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', there is an Advanced-class {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}} of a Barrel Train that takes up one support slot, and using it on a fighter boosts the power of their {{iw|smashwiki|dash attack}}s. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] appears in the badlands region on the east side of {{iw|smashwiki|The Light Realm}}, and the spirit's [[smashwiki:False character|puppet fighters]] are Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, fought on the {{iw|smashwiki|Spirit Train}} stage.

| |desc=This mean machine may look like it was meant for the tracks, but really it was made to soar. That fine wood finish isn't so great in the water, though. I bet more than a few players have fond memories of the Barrel Train and its first driver, Diddy Kong.
| |
| |desc2=This kart might look like it needs to be on rails, but it's actually great in mid-air. Like any barrel, though, it has a tendency to float. In a race that comes down to speed in water, it'll get left behind. The name "Barrel Train" might ring a bell for Mario Kart veterans – it was Diddy Kong's kart!
