Template:Kart-infobox Egg 1 is Yoshi's main kart in Mario Kart DS. It is a bumper-car in the shape of a Yoshi Egg with small wheels, dual exhaust pipes, and a small compartment for the driver. The lower front part of the kart suggest that it may be built using the chassis of the classic Pipe Frame karts featured in earlier Mario Kart games.

Overview

Mario Kart DS

In Mario Kart DS, the Egg 1 has above average speed, high acceleration, and high handling, but also has low drift, weight, and items. Its name is a pun on F-1 (Formula One). It is one of the lightest karts, and its weight is tied with the Mushmellow. This kart is available from the start of the game.

Mario Kart 7

The Egg 1 reappears as a retro kart body in Mario Kart 7. It is one of the unlockable kart bodies in the game, and it offers an acceleration boost, at the expense of speed and weight. In fact, the Egg 1 is tied with the Birthday Girl and Bumble V for having the highest acceleration of all kart bodies.

In terms of its hidden stats, the Egg 1 offers one of the fastest sea speed stats (tied with the Tiny Tug) in the game, making it pretty effective for underwater racing.

Equipping the Egg 1 with Roller tires will resemble the original Mario Kart DS version.

CPUs Peach and Wario can sometimes be seen driving in this body.

The Mario Kart 7 incarnation of the Egg 1 also appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, driven by Yoshi.

Yoshi + Egg 1 Egg1Trophy3DS.png This heartwarming contraption looks more at home in a theme park than a raceway, but don't be fooled—this egg- shaped frame can dive under the sea or soar through the skies with ease! Your opponents will be filled with envy when you break this out in Mario Kart 7. This kart combo looks like it belongs in a theme park rather than on a racetrack. But, of course, looks can be deceiving! The egg-shaped frame known as the Egg 1 is a speed demon in the water. Mario Kart 7's tracks include everything from deep blue seas to soaring slide routes, so you've got to be prepared for anything!
