Template:Kart-infobox The B Dasher is Mario's main kart of choice in the game Mario Kart DS. It is a long, skinny, white kart with stripes along each side. It appeared on the boxart of Mario Kart DS. It has average speed, handling, and drift, above average acceleration and high items & weight; it is one of the heaviest karts in the game and its weight is tied with the Hurricane. B Dasher resembles the real Honda RA272 Formula One car.

Trivia
- Its name is most likely a reference to the controls of the side-scrolling NES games - the player presses and holds the B button to dash. The B button in SNES was also responsible for acceleration in Super Mario Kart.
- In Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, Mario's original kart resembles a stylized form of the B Dasher.
- The B Dasher's tailpipe design seems to be the inspiration for the tailpipe designs of the Standard Karts S/M/L from Mario Kart Wii.
