The Standard RB (スタンダードRB Sutandādo RB) is R.O.B.'s standard kart in Mario Kart DS.

Description[]

StandardKartRB

Data-rendered model.

The kart features a black frame, and, the default emblem is a deciption of a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES for short) D-pad, colored purple (unless the emblem is changed by the player).

During Grand Prix and VS Races, the CPU-controlled R.O.B. chooses the Standard RB to race in more frequently than his other karts, the ROB-BLS and ROB-LGS.

Statistics[]

The Standard RB has, along with Bowser's Standard BW, the highest top speed possible for standard karts, along with average acceleration and fairly high handling (which is uncommon for heavyweights). However, these positive traits are balanced out by its extremely low drift, the second-lowest in the game. While low drift is usually inconsequential in Mario Kart DS, the RB's drift is so low that players must place their powerslides and Mini-Turbos incredibly precisely to not lose time to going wide around turns. Regardless, the Standard RB is one of the best heavy-class karts in the game.

It is often seen in world records on courses with little off-road and multiple possible shortcuts in a single lap, such as Delfino Square. On those courses, it is picked over the ROB-BLS when trying to set a "flap" (or fastest lap) world record due to its access to two Mushrooms. It is very rarely seen until the highest level of play as it is the hardest viable kart to drive in the game, particularly on courses where players must maintain PRB with it, as its Mini-Turbo is almost exactly on the threshold to allow PRB at all.

Its speed is equal to that of Bowser's Standard BW, its acceleration is shared with Wario's Brute, its weight is equivalent to all other Standard karts, and its handling is shared with Toad's Standard TD.

When used with R.O.B., its weight adds up to 82, which is equivalent only to Bowser's Standard BW (when used with Bowser).
