Standard Kart

The Standard Kart is the main kart in the Mario Kart series. They first appear in Mario Kart DS onward.

Predecessor
In the first three Mario Kart games, Standard Karts are the Pipe Frame model and is the one and only kart available. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Standard Karts were absent, but the Toad Kart and Red Fire is considerably the standard vehicle for this game.

Mario Kart DS
The Standard kart made its first appearance in Mario Kart DS. Each playable character has a Standard kart, being named Standard followed by an abbreviation of the character's name (MR for Mario, LG for Luigi, etc.) These karts are redesigned, having white bumpers and a hood of different color palettes that matches the character's custom color. The decal of the character is shown over the hood.

Mario Kart Wii
Standard Karts reappear in Mario Kart Wii. This time, there is a Standard for each individual weight class rather for each character. They are named Standard Kart S for small, Standard Kart M for middle and Standard Kart L for large. Each weight class of Standards have their own stats that reflect on the respective weight class. Lightweights were generally better with all stats except for speed and weight while heavyweights were opposite. All Standard Karts, along with the other karts, drift outward.

Mario Kart 7
Standards reappear in Mario Kart 7 with a similar appearance to the ones in Mario Kart DS. Unlike past games, the Standard Karts here didn't offer any stat changes due to the main stats relying more on the weight class of the character.

Mario Kart 8 / Deluxe
The Standard kart reappears in Mario Kart 8 with an appearance similar to that of the previous installment. The Standard Kart does not add or subtract from the stats of a driver.

All CPU players may use this kart body, often pairing it with the Standard tires. However, the CPU-controlled heavyweights who have a large body frame (excluding Link) will always pair this kart body with the Monster tires.
