The '''Barrel Train''' is [[Diddy Kong]]'s unlockable [[kart]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It is a lightweight kart, but like [[Bowser Jr.]]'s kart, the [[Bullet Blaster]], it has greater speed, but less acceleration than most other light karts. 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 train, its exhaust pipe is a smokestack.

The Barrel Train is the heaviest lightweight kart in the game; its weight is tied with the medium karts [[Red Fire]] and [[Heart Coach]], and is greater than the [[Green Fire]] and [[Bloom Coach]], which it can push around as a result. It is tied with the [[Bullet Blaster]] as the fastest light kart, however it also has the lowest acceleration of its weight class.

Another train named the "[[Barrel Train]]" appears in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. However, it is not the same train, as it is a full-size locomotive. Later in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

==Trivia==
*The Barrel Train is the only lightweight kart capable of pushing around certain karts from the medium weight class.  They include the [[Green Fire]] and [[Bloom Coach]].


A train that resembles the Barrel Train can be seen buried in [[Gritzy Desert]] during the (past) events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Another train named the "[[Barrel Train]]" appears in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''; unlike Diddy's kart, this is a full-size locomotive that runs on tracks. Later, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Diddy's Barrel Train appears as a [[sticker]] that raises a [[player]]'s attack by nineteen.
