Template:Kart-infobox The Pipe Frame is the standard kart used in Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and a customizable kart part in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8. In the first three installments of the Mario Kart series, the Pipe Frame acts as the main standard kart. The abilities of the kart depend on the driver so the kart itself has no strong or weak points.

Mario Kart 7

The Pipe Frame appears in Mario Kart 7 as a retro kart body. In this game the kart offers a good boost in acceleration and off-road, but hinders speed and weight. The Pipe Frame is one of the three kart parts to have a different color for each character. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Toad and Wario retain the same colored kart from Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Super Circuit.

Mario Kart 8

The Pipe Frame returns in Mario Kart 8 as a retro kart body, although it is slightly different, as this time around it has a more tubular engine with one exhaust pipe, similar to the ones first seen in Super Mario Kart, rather than a square engine with two exhaust pipes, as in other games including Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Super Circuit and it has the emblem on the front for each character. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Bowser, Donkey Kong and Wario once again retain their colored karts from Mario Kart 64, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Koopa Troopa retains his colored kart from Super Mario Kart. In addition, all Koopalings excluding Morton have unique colored steering wheels for their karts as opposed to black. Also, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy and Baby Rosalina's colored pipe frame karts are identical to their adult counterparts and Koopa Troopa and Larry's colored pipe frame kart is identical to Donkey Kong's pipe frame kart. Its stats are identical to the Wild Wiggler, Standard Bike, Flame Rider, Varmint and W 25 Silver Arrow.

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 the then-new 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

A Pipe Frame makes an apperance 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.

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.

Trivia

  • In Mario Kart 7, the White Mii is the only Mii color to receive a unique Pipe Frame color, as no other character uses a white Pipe Frame. In Mario Kart 8, this trait only applies to the Brown Mii.
