The '''Pipe Frame''' (also formerly known simply as the '''Go-Kart''', also called '''Racing Kart''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'') is the original form of [[Kart]] that appears in the first three installments of the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series and is the predecessor to the [[Standard Kart]]. Throughout the games it appears in, the kart has different colors depending on the driver. In their original appearances, the Pipe Frame acts as the one and only vehicle available. The abilities of the kart depend on the driver so the kart itself has no strong or weak points.

After a 10-year absence, the Pipe Frame returns in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as an unlockable kart body in all three and generally gives a boost in acceleration and handling while decreasing the weight and traction.

It generally gives a boost in acceleration and handling while decreasing the weight and traction. The Pipe Frame also appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the starting kart.


Unlike the Standard Kart, the Pipe Frame does not appear to resemble a real go-kart, though its appearance is somewhat similar to a [[wikipedia:Micro kart|micro kart]], a type of racing kart known for its small size, but powerful engines.
The Pipe Frame kart has a passing resemblance to an early '80s World Championship kart raced by Ayrton Senna, an icon in Japan due to his connections with Honda, and to modern [[wikipedia:Micro kart|micro karts]] known for their combination of small frames and powerful engines.


==History==
==History==
===Name===
===''Mario Kart'' series===
This vehicle was simply referred to as a "''go-kart''" in its earlier appearances, and the name "Pipe Frame" was not yet implemented prior to its reappearance in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.
====''Super Mario Kart''====
===''Super Mario Kart''===
The kart makes its first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', designed as simple, small go-karts with different colors (red for Mario, blue for Luigi, pink for Peach, red-orange for Yoshi, green for Bowser, olive for Donkey Kong Jr., yellow for Koopa Troopa, and azure for Toad) and various performance traits for each character, along with an ability to [[Mini-Turbo|boost]] by [[drifting]].

Each character's kart has different engines; some uses four-stroke and few others uses two-stroke, based on its sounds.

===''Mario Kart 64''===
====''Mario Kart 64''====
The Pipe Frame is redesigned in ''Mario Kart 64'', featuring realistic-looking wheels, new colors for every character and a cubical engine with dual exhaust pipes. It also has a different handling compared to its predecessor.
The go-kart is redesigned in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', featuring realistic-looking wheels, new colors for every character (red for Mario, green for Luigi, rose for Peach, blue for Toad, light-green for Yoshi, yellow for Donkey Kong, violet for Wario, and red-orange for Bowser) and a cubical engine with dual exhaust pipes. It also has a different handling stat compared to its predecessor.


This time, all karts uses two-stroke engines, with the exception of [[Toad]]'s kart, which use a softer sounding four-stroke instead.

===''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''===
[[Toad]] and [[Donkey Kong]] are the only characters to have their own unique engine sound from any other character.
The kart's design and colors for this game remain unchanged from ''Mario Kart 64'' aside from its handling, which reverted to that of ''Super Mario Kart'' to fit the game's two-dimensional environment.


Unlike in ''Mario Kart 64'', all the karts now uses four-stroke engines.
====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====
The kart's design and colors for ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' remain unchanged from ''Mario Kart 64'' aside from its handling, which reverted to that of ''Super Mario Kart'' to fit the game's two-dimensional environment.


===''Mario Kart 7''===
Unlike in ''Mario Kart 64'', all the karts now use four-stroke engines.
After being absent in subsequent games after ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', the Pipe Frame returns in ''Mario Kart 7'' as an unlockable kart body, using its same design from ''Mario Kart 64'' to ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''. The character's emblem is shown underneath the engine. It is one of the three kart parts to have a different color for each character; the eight characters from ''Mario Kart 64'' and ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' retain the same color schemes, except for [[Peach]], which has a slightly lighter pink color. Like in ''Super Circuit'', it has a four-stroke engine with powerful-sounding exhausts.


In terms of stats, the Pipe Frame slightly boosts acceleration and off-road, but slightly hinders top speed and weight, which makes it the polar opposite of the [[Gold Standard]] in a way. It terms of its hidden stats, it gives a heavy boost in sea and air speeds, a good boost in mini-turbo and a slight boost in drift, while not hindering any other stat.

The character's emblem is shown underneath the engine. It is one of the three kart parts to have a different color for each character. The eight characters from ''Mario Kart 64'' and ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' retain the same color schemes, except for [[Princess Peach|Peach]], who has a slightly lighter pink color as in ''Mario Kart DS'', and Daisy also retains the same color scheme from said game. Like in ''Super Circuit'', it has a four-stroke engine with powerful-sounding exhausts. Its engine is similar to the [[Blue Seven]] and the [[B Dasher Mk. 2|Sprinter]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and sounds like a DOHC V6 and flat-six engine.

===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
The Pipe Frame reappears in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' again as an unlockable kart body. This time, it now resembles the kart's original design from ''Super Mario Kart'', featuring only one exhaust pipe instead of two as seen in ''Mario Kart 64'', ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' and ''Mario Kart 7''. Additionally, the character emblem is now located in the front. Unlike its predecessor, it is now has a two-stroke engine and its sound is shared with the [[Standard Kart]], [[Teddy Buggy]], [[Wild Wiggler]], and the [[Sneeker]], only having a softer exhaust noise.

Additionally, the character emblem is now located in the front. Unlike its predecessor, it is now has a two-stroke engine and its sound is shared with the [[Standard Kart]], [[Teddy Buggy]], [[Wild Wiggler]], and the [[Sneeker]], only having a softer exhaust noise. The engine sounds like a straight-four turbo rally from a {{wp|Citroën C4 WRC}}.


Unlike past installments, the colors of the Pipe Frame are now shared with multiple characters, featuring 23 unique colors used among the 36 characters (and of those, thirteen of the colors are exclusive to one character, counting alternate colors for [[Yoshi]] and [[Shy Guy]], but excluding [[Mii]]s). The eight characters from ''Mario Kart 64'' and ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' once again retain the same color as they were in the original games, while Koopa Troopa now has a yellow color, reminiscent of in ''Super Mario Kart''. In addition, all the [[Koopalings]] (except for [[Morton Koopa Jr.|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 pipes, as opposed to the standard yellow for the tertiary color, and their wheel hinges are uniquely colored, instead of being colored gray.
Unlike past installments, the colors of the Pipe Frame are now shared with multiple characters, featuring 23 unique colors used among the 36 (41 in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'') characters (and of those, twelve of the colors are exclusive to one character, counting alternate colors for [[Yoshi]] and [[Shy Guy]], but excluding [[Mii]]s aside from the brown color). The eight characters from ''Mario Kart 64'' and ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' once again retain the same color as they were in the original games, while Koopa Troopa now retains the yellow color from his ''Super Mario Kart'' artwork, while Daisy and Waluigi retain their respective colors from ''Mario Kart DS''. All the [[Koopalings]] (except [[Morton]]) have unique colored steering wheels for their karts, as opposed to the standard black. Also, all the Koopalings have unique colored engines, as opposed to the standard goldenrod, and their wheel hinges are uniquely colored, instead of the usual gray. The Inkling Girl's orange variation uses the yellow Pipe Frame, though the icon on the kart selection screen shows the orange Pipe Frame instead.


Like the [[Standard Kart#Mario Kart 8|Standard Kart]], [[Standard Bike#Mario Kart 8|Standard Bike]], and [[Standard ATV]], the Pipe Frame body is occasionally used by all the CPU-controlled characters. Most CPU racers will always pair the Pipe Frame with the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires, but Donkey Kong, Koopa, Dry Bones and Ludwig usually may use the [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires instead.

Most CPU racers will always pair the Pipe Frame with the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires, but Donkey Kong and Koopa Troopa occasionally also use the [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires instead. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', only a very few now use this body. CPU [[Toad]] is occasionally seen using this body equipped with the [[Slim (tire)|Slim]] tires; Toad, as well as [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Shy Guy]], also equip it with the [[Parafoil]]. The 150cc staff ghosts for [[SNES Donut Plains 3|Donut Plains 3]] and [[GBA Cheese Land|Cheese Land]] use [[Lakitu]] and [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] on the Pipe Frame with the [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires. The 200cc staff ghost for [[Bone-Dry Dunes]] in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' uses [[Dry Bones]] on the Pipe Frame with the [[Wood]] tires.


In ''Mario Kart 8'', the Pipe Frame gives a good boost in handling and a slight one in acceleration, but it hinders traction and slightly hinders weight. In terms of its hidden stats, it offers a good boost in sea and air handling, and slight boosts in sea and air speeds, anti-gravity handling and mini-turbo, while only slightly hindering anti-gravity speed. It shares its stats with the [[Wild Wiggler]], [[Standard Bike]], [[Flame Rider]], [[Varmint]], [[W 25 Silver Arrow]], and [[City Tripper]]. Overall, the Pipe Frame has the second highest stat total of any kart body, and the third highest among all vehicles.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the Pipe Frame's stats have been altered: it now hinders speed, but gives a higher boost in aceleration and now slightly boosts traction. In terms of its hidden stats, it no longer increases water speed and now hinders air speed and air handling, while hindering anti-gravity speed further, with no compensation. It now only shares stats with the [[Varmint]] and [[City Tripper]].

An early version of the Pipe Frame's body featured the same design it had from ''Mario Kart 64'' to ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', with the only exception being that the character's emblem was located at the front, like in the body's final version.

====Color schemes====
The ''Mario Kart 8'' version of the Pipe Frame was used in a [[LINE#Mario Kart Stickers|LINE set of stickers based on the game]], although lacked the emblem on the front and equipped with the tires from ''Super Mario Kart''. It was also used in a [[:File:Mario GoogleMapsPromo.jpg|Google Maps Easter egg]] for [[Mario Day|Mar10 Day]] 2018, which ran for a week ending March 17, 2018. The Pipe Frame's appearance in Google Maps later reappears in ''Mario Kart Tour''.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
The Pipe Frame returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', retaining its ''Mario Kart 8'' design and serving as the starter kart. It is classified as a Normal kart. It uses the same tires that it used in [[List of references on the Internet#Google|Google Maps]], which are based on its original tires from the first three games. The Pipe Frame increases the duration of [[Slipstream]] boosts and the amount of points earned for performing Slipstreams. Like the [[Landship]] and [[Koopa Clown]], the Koopalings do not retain their unique color schemes from ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', instead sharing the same color schemes as other drivers. It is the only available kart in several bonus challenges.
 
This game introduces three pixelated counterparts named the [[8-Bit Pipe Frame]], [[Yellow 8-Bit Pipe Frame]], and [[Gold 8-Bit Pipe Frame]], and another variant that has the gold color scheme but with golden versions of the Pipe Frame’s tires, named the [[Gold Pipe Frame]]. Both are classified as High-End karts. A similar vehicle called [[Pipe Buggy]] also appears in the game.
 
In the [[:File:MKT Tour1 CoinRush.png|screenshot]] used for [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]]'s [[Coin Rush (Mario Kart Tour)|Coin Rush]] mode, [[Gold Mario]] uses the Pipe Frame, but it is equipped with the Gold Tires instead of its regular tires, making it resemble the Gold Pipe Frame; however, Gold Mario uses the [[Gold Standard]] in-game. In an official screenshot showing the [[Bob-omb Cannon]] item, [[King Boo|King Boo (Luigi's Mansion)]] drives a black Pipe Frame instead of a purple one. Similarly, in an official [[:File:MKT Super Mario Kart Tour Event.jpg|screenshot]] used for the [[Event token|token]] event in the [[Super Mario Kart Tour]], [[Pauline]] is shown driving a white Pipe Frame instead of a magenta one. In a screenshot showing the [[Green Emblem]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Knight)]] is shown driving a pink gold Pipe Frame instead of a silver one. Some of the Pipe Frames do not match the colors of the used driver, such as Gold Koopa (Freerunning), who uses the black Pipe Frame, despite being gold. The color of the Pipe Frame also determines the color of the [[Super Glider]] for the driver.
 
The Pipe Frame is automatically unlocked after starting the game. It is also regularly obtainable from pipes, and is included in the Daily Selects set.

[[File:KartsCN.jpg|thumb|left|Mario and [[Luigi]] driving karts in the ''Club Nintendo'' comic "Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All".]]
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|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|Banana Peels]] and making them crash. The karts seen in this comic resemble those seen in ''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.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', [[Toad]] and [[Donkey Kong]] are the only characters to have unique engine sounds that is not shared with any other character.
**[[Mario]] shares the same sound with [[Luigi]], [[Peach]] shares the same sound with [[Yoshi]], and [[Bowser]] shares the same sound with [[Wario]].
*In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', white is the only [[Mii]] color to receive a unique Pipe Frame color, as no other [[List of characters|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.
*In ''Mario Kart 7'', its engine is similar to the [[Sprinter]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It also shares it with the [[Blue Seven]].
*In ''Mario Kart 8'', [[Morton Koopa Jr.]] is the only [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] who uses a black steering wheel instead of a multi-colored one.
*A [[:File:MK8D Image10.png|screenshot]] from ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' published by Nintendo features [[Mario]], [[Peach]], and [[Yoshi]] driving Pipe Frames on [[Battle Course 1 (SNES)|<small>SNES</small> Battle Course 1]] with Mario holding a [[Cape Feather|Feather]], likely as a homage to the [[Super Mario Kart|original game]].
*In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the Inkling Girl's orange variation uses the yellow Pipe Frame, though the icon on the kart selection screen shows the yellow-orange Pipe Frame instead.
*The ''Mario Kart 8'' version of the Pipe Frame was used in a [[LINE#Mario Kart Stickers|LINE set of stickers based on the game]] and is being used for a [[:File:Mario GoogleMapsPromo.png|Google Maps Easter Egg]] for Mar10 day 2018 and is running for a week until March 17, 2018.

The Pipe Frame (also formerly known simply as the Go-Kart until Mario Kart 7, also called Racing Kart in Super Smash Bros. Melee) is the original form of Kart that appears in the first three installments of the Mario Kart series and is the predecessor to the Standard Kart. Throughout the games it appears in, the kart has different colors depending on the driver. In its original appearances, the Pipe Frame acts as the one and only vehicle available. The abilities of the kart depend on the driver so the kart itself has no strong or weak points.

After a 10-year absence, the Pipe Frame returns in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as an unlockable kart body. It generally gives a boost in acceleration and handling while decreasing the weight and traction. The Pipe Frame also appears in Mario Kart Tour as the starting kart.

The Pipe Frame kart has a passing resemblance to an early '80s World Championship kart raced by Ayrton Senna, an icon in Japan due to his connections with Honda, and to modern micro karts known for their combination of small frames and powerful engines.

History[edit]

Mario Kart series[edit]

Super Mario Kart[edit]

The kart makes its first appearance in Super Mario Kart, designed as simple, small go-karts with different colors (red for Mario, blue for Luigi, pink for Peach, red-orange for Yoshi, green for Bowser, olive for Donkey Kong Jr., yellow for Koopa Troopa, and azure for Toad) and various performance traits for each character, along with an ability to boost by drifting.

Each character's kart has different engines; some use four-stroke and few others use two-stroke.

Mario Kart 64[edit]

The go-kart is redesigned in Mario Kart 64, featuring realistic-looking wheels, new colors for every character (red for Mario, green for Luigi, rose for Peach, blue for Toad, light-green for Yoshi, yellow for Donkey Kong, violet for Wario, and red-orange for Bowser) and a cubical engine with dual exhaust pipes. It also has a different handling stat compared to its predecessor.

This time, all karts use two-stroke engines, with the exception of Toad's kart which uses a softer sounding four-stroke engine instead.

Toad and Donkey Kong are the only characters to have their own unique engine sound from any other character.

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]

The kart's design and colors for Mario Kart: Super Circuit remain unchanged from Mario Kart 64 aside from its handling, which reverted to that of Super Mario Kart to fit the game's two-dimensional environment.

Unlike in Mario Kart 64, all the karts now use four-stroke engines.

Mario Kart 7[edit]

After being absent in subsequent games after Mario Kart: Super Circuit, the Pipe Frame returns in Mario Kart 7 as an unlockable kart body, using its same design from Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Super Circuit. The character's emblem is shown underneath the engine. It is one of the three kart parts to have a different color for each character. The eight characters from Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Super Circuit retain the same color schemes, except for Peach, who has a slightly lighter pink color as in Mario Kart DS, and Daisy also retains the same color scheme from said game. Like in Super Circuit, it has a four-stroke engine with powerful-sounding exhausts. Its engine is similar to the Blue Seven and the Sprinter from Mario Kart Wii and sounds like a DOHC V6 and flat-six engine.

In terms of stats, the Pipe Frame slightly boosts acceleration, off-road, and drift, but slightly hinders top speed and weight, which makes it the polar opposite of the Gold Standard in a way. In terms of its hidden stats, however, it gives a strong boost in sea and air speeds, and a good boost in mini-turbo, while not hindering any other stat.

White Miis are the only color of Mii to receive a unique paint job, as no other character in the game uses a white Pipe Frame.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

The Pipe Frame reappears in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe again as an unlockable kart body. This time, it now resembles the kart's original design from Super Mario Kart, featuring only one exhaust pipe instead of two as seen in Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Mario Kart 7. Additionally, the character emblem is now located in the front. Unlike its predecessor, it is now has a two-stroke engine and its sound is shared with the Standard Kart, Teddy Buggy, Wild Wiggler, and the Sneeker, only having a softer exhaust noise. The engine sounds like a straight-four turbo rally from a Citroën C4 WRC.

Unlike past installments, the colors of the Pipe Frame are now shared with multiple characters, featuring 23 unique colors used among the 36 (41 in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe) characters (and of those, twelve of the colors are exclusive to one character, counting alternate colors for Yoshi and Shy Guy, but excluding Miis aside from the brown color). The eight characters from Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Super Circuit once again retain the same color as they were in the original games, while Koopa Troopa now retains the yellow color from his Super Mario Kart artwork, while Daisy and Waluigi retain their respective colors from Mario Kart DS. All the Koopalings (except Morton) have unique colored steering wheels for their karts, as opposed to the standard black. Also, all the Koopalings have unique colored engines, as opposed to the standard goldenrod, and their wheel hinges are uniquely colored, instead of the usual gray. The Inkling Girl's orange variation uses the yellow Pipe Frame, though the icon on the kart selection screen shows the orange Pipe Frame instead.

Like the Standard Kart, Standard Bike, and Standard ATV, the Pipe Frame body is occasionally used by all the CPU-controlled characters. Most CPU racers will always pair the Pipe Frame with the Standard tires, but Donkey Kong and Koopa Troopa occasionally also use the Monster tires instead. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, only a very few now use this body. CPU Toad is occasionally seen using this body equipped with the Slim tires; Toad, as well as Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Diddy Kong, and Shy Guy, also equip it with the Parafoil. The 150cc staff ghosts for Donut Plains 3 and Cheese Land use Lakitu and Orange Yoshi on the Pipe Frame with the Monster tires. The 200cc staff ghost for Bone-Dry Dunes in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe uses Dry Bones on the Pipe Frame with the Wood tires.

In Mario Kart 8, the Pipe Frame gives a good boost in handling and a slight one in acceleration, but it hinders traction and slightly hinders weight. In terms of its hidden stats, it offers a good boost in sea and air handling, and slight boosts in sea and air speeds, anti-gravity handling and mini-turbo, while only slightly hindering anti-gravity speed. It shares its stats with the Wild Wiggler, Standard Bike, Flame Rider, Varmint, W 25 Silver Arrow, and City Tripper. Overall, the Pipe Frame has the second highest stat total of any kart body, and the third highest among all vehicles.

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Pipe Frame's stats have been altered so that it now hinders speed, but gives a higher boost in acceleration and now slightly boosts traction. In terms of its hidden stats, it no longer increases water speed and now hinders air speed and air handling, while hindering anti-gravity speed further, with no compensation. It now only shares its stats with the Varmint and City Tripper.

An early version of the Pipe Frame's body featured the same design it had from Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, with the only exception being that the character's emblem was located at the front, like in the body's final version.

The Mario Kart 8 version of the Pipe Frame was used in a LINE set of stickers based on the game, although lacked the emblem on the front and equipped with the tires from Super Mario Kart. It was also used in a Google Maps Easter egg for Mar10 Day 2018, which ran for a week ending March 17, 2018. The Pipe Frame's appearance in Google Maps later reappears in Mario Kart Tour.

  1. ^ Inkling Girl's Pipe Frame is displayed as orange in menu.
  2. ^ a b c d e f g These Pipe Frame colors are specially made for each of the Koopalings, and unlike any other Pipe Frame in the game, feature differently-colored wheel hinges/pedals, steering wheel and engine/exhaust (which are normally gray, black, and goldenrod, respectively):
    • Lemmy's Pipe Frame's wheel hinges, pedals and steering wheel are orange-red, and its engine and exhaust are medium orange.
    • Larry's Pipe Frame's wheel hinges, pedals and steering wheel are azure, and its engine and exhaust are dark-cerulean.

    • Morton's Pipe Frame's wheel hinges and pedals are forest green, and its engine and exhaust are medium teal. Its steering wheel remains black.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The Pipe Frame returns in Mario Kart Tour, retaining its Mario Kart 8 design and serving as the starter kart. It is classified as a Normal kart. It uses the same tires that it used in Google Maps, which are based on its original tires from the first three games. The Pipe Frame increases the duration of Slipstream boosts and the amount of points earned for performing Slipstreams. Like the Landship and Koopa Clown, the Koopalings do not retain their unique color schemes from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, instead sharing the same color schemes as other drivers. It is the only available kart in several bonus challenges.

This game introduces three pixelated counterparts named the 8-Bit Pipe Frame, Yellow 8-Bit Pipe Frame, and Gold 8-Bit Pipe Frame, and another variant that has the gold color scheme but with golden versions of the Pipe Frame’s tires, named the Gold Pipe Frame. Both are classified as High-End karts. A similar vehicle called Pipe Buggy also appears in the game.

In the screenshot used for New York Minute's Coin Rush mode, Gold Mario uses the Pipe Frame, but it is equipped with the Gold Tires instead of its regular tires, making it resemble the Gold Pipe Frame; however, Gold Mario uses the Gold Standard in-game. In an official screenshot showing the Bob-omb Cannon item, King Boo (Luigi's Mansion) drives a black Pipe Frame instead of a purple one. Similarly, in an official screenshot used for the token event in the Super Mario Kart Tour, Pauline is shown driving a white Pipe Frame instead of a magenta one. In a screenshot showing the Green Emblem, Luigi (Knight) is shown driving a pink gold Pipe Frame instead of a silver one. Some of the Pipe Frames do not match the colors of the used driver, such as Gold Koopa (Freerunning), who uses the black Pipe Frame, despite being gold. The color of the Pipe Frame also determines the color of the Super Glider for the driver.

The Pipe Frame is automatically unlocked after starting the game. It is also regularly obtainable from pipes, and is included in the Daily Selects set.

Club Nintendo[edit]

"Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All"[edit]

Mario and Luigi driving karts
Mario and Luigi driving karts in the Club Nintendo comic "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 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[edit]

A go-kart makes an appearance 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[edit]

Go-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.

Mario Artist: Paint Studio[edit]

Various Mario Kart 64 artwork can be used like a stamp in Mario Artist: Paint Studio. This includes all the characters driving their respective Pipe Frame karts, and two stand-alone images of Mario's red Pipe Frame itself.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

A go-kart appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee as a trophy under the name "Racing Kart." The trophy can be obtained at random in the Lottery or in the game's single-player modes.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]

The Pipe Frame is one of several karts used by Bowser's army during their ambush on Rainbow Road in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Mario hijacks one from a Koopa Troopa after the Bullet Bills from the Koopa General's bulldozer-like kart destroy his Standard Kart, though it too is destroyed by the General's vehicle.

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.
