Karts are the main vehicles in the Mario Kart series. They can come in various sizes and colors for each character. While early Mario Kart games only depicted one universal kart model, the Pipe Frame, subsequent games have introduced newer models with their own distinct stats such as speed, acceleration and handling. Usually, the kart that is closest to average in terms of stats in each game is defined as the Standard Kart. Karts have also appeared in other game series and media such as in the Super Smash Bros. series, comics, and toys.
