Barrel Train

The Barrel Train is a locomotive operated by Donkey Kong that appears in the game Mario Party 8. It appears exclusively on the Shy Guy's Perplex Express board.

The Barrel Train will appear whenever a player lands on a DK Space, replacing the train's current locomotive, which could be either Shy Guy's standard one, or Bowser's Bad-Breath Express. The first player who reaches the Barrel Train will be given a Star for free.

The Barrel Train will leave either after someone reaches it, or if somebody lands on a Bowser Space.

As a Kart
The Barrel Train is Diddy Kong's unlockable kart in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It is a lightweight kart, but like Bowser Jr.'s kart, the Bullet Blaster, it has greater speed, but less acceleration. It is unlocked by completing the Star Cup in 150cc. It is basically considered a train off-track. Its horn is the sound of a train whistle. Like any steam train, its exhaust pipe is a smokestack.

His train can be seen in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time buried in Gritzy Desert. However, it may just be a coincidence that this train looks a lot like the Barrel Train. Later in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it appears as a sticker that raises a player's attack by nineteen.
