In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', [[Pipe Frame | In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', [[Pipe Frame]]s are the only kart in the game. The term "kart" also applies to the [[Extra life|extra lives]] a driver has in [[Grand Prix]] mode. In the mode, all drivers start out with three karts, and one kart is lost when a driver comes in 5th place or lower or by retrying a race. When all karts are lost, the player is forced to exit to the title screen. It is possible to regain one more kart in the Grand Prix by placing the same position three times in a row. | ||

Pipe Frames return in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', with slight design changes and new sounds. Depending on the characters that use them, karts pertain to one of three weight classes: light, medium, and heavy. Lights are karts that show a high speed but a fairly low endurance. Medium karts show all-around traits, whereas Heavy karts have high endurance but poor speed. | |||

In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', [[Standard Kart]]s replace | In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', [[Standard Kart]]s replace Pipe Frames in the game. These karts are redesigned, having white bumpers and a frame of different color palettes that matches the character's custom color. The emblem of the character is shown over the hood, although the player can replace it with their own in the [[Mario Kart DS#Options|emblem maker option]]. Additionally, every character can select at least one of three vehicles (excluding [[Shy Guy]], having only his Standard SG), exclusive for being rather different in design and stats than the character's Standard Kart. While a Standard Kart has plain stats, the other vehicles can have a high speed, acceleration or items ratio, depending on what the vehicle is made for. Every Kart is qualified by six ratings: | ||
*'''Acceleration:''' The time for achieving the top speed. Lightweight karts like [[Yoshi]]'s Standard YS have the highest acceleration rating. | *'''Acceleration:''' The time for achieving the top speed. Lightweight karts like [[Yoshi]]'s Standard YS have the highest acceleration rating. | ||
