Statistics[]
Mario Kart: Double Dash!![]
According to the in-game stats, the Koopa King is the fastest kart in Double Dash!!, but has the lowest acceleration, which is not a good choice for courses such as Luigi Circuit and Baby Park. It's also the heaviest kart in the game, next to the Piranha Pipes and Boo Pipes.
However, in actual stats, although the Koopa King offers high speed and low acceleration, it loses a lot of speed when it goes offroad, sharing this trait with Bowser Jr.'s kart, the Bullet Blaster.
