The '''Barrel Train''' is a [[kart]] in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. It is a {{wp|traction engine}} with elements of a railroad locomotive and a [[barrel]], and it resembles the train from [[N64 Kalimari Desert|Kalimari Desert]] as well as the [[K64]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Its horn makes the sound of a train whistle. Like any steam engine, the Barrel Train's exhaust pipe is a smokestack.

==History==
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
The Barrel Train first appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' as a lightweight kart serving as the signature kart of [[Diddy Kong]] (although the Prima Official Strategy Guide claims it does not have any associated character<ref>Hodgson, David S. ''Mario Kart: Double Dash'' PRIMA's Official Strategy Guide. Page 34.</ref>). It can be unlocked by winning the [[Star Cup]] on 150cc. The Barrel Train is the heaviest lightweight kart in the game; its weight is tied with the middleweight [[Red Fire]] and [[Heart Coach]] karts. It is also the only lightweight kart that can push around the middleweight [[Green Fire]] and [[Bloom Coach]] karts. According to the game stats, it is tied with the [[Bullet Blaster]] as the fastest lightweight kart. However, it also has the weakest acceleration of its weight class.

Although the game shows a four-star speed stat, the Barrel Train's top speed is tied with that of the Bullet Blaster, [[DK Jumbo]], and [[Piranha Pipes]], and its small size enables it to avoid most hazards more easily. It also has the weakest traction of all karts, as it still maintains its speed briefly after getting hit by the [[Lightning]] item. However, while it has a two-star acceleration stat, the Barrel Train accelerates equally to the Green Fire and [[Wario Car]]. Finally, the Barrel Train is one of the two four-star speed karts to lose the least amount of speed upon going off-road, with the other being the Piranha Pipes.

The Barrel Train is one of the only four karts to have a unique engine sound, the other three being the [[DK Jumbo]], [[Koopa King]], and [[Parade Kart]].

The train whistle made by the Barrel Train's horn is identical to the [[nookipedia:Train|train]] from ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]''.

====''Mario Kart 7''====
[[File:MK7 Barrel Train.png|thumb|left|The Barrel Train kart in ''Mario Kart 7'']]
The Barrel Train appears again in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as an unlockable kart body. The main difference is that it can be ridden by anyone - not only small but also medium and large-sized characters - and it now lacks the green platform, and only contains four wheels of the player's choice, thus eliminating the second racer's place, and making the kart only for one racer. The star decals on the front and the sides are also removed, filled in by the selected character's emblem.

The Barrel Train offers a small speed and weight boost, while hindering handling. In fact, it is tied with the [[Bumble V]] and [[Bruiser]] for having the worst handling of all kart bodies. In terms of its hidden stats, the Barrel Train offers one of the best mini-turbo boosts (tied with the Bumble V and [[Koopa Clown]]), but it also has the worst sea speed of all kart bodies.

Equipping the Barrel Train with [[Slim (tire)|Slim]] tires makes it resemble the original version, despite the missing platform.

Similar to the [[Tiny Tug]], the kart has a low-revving diesel engine, and its sound is derived from an actual steam train.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
The Barrel Train returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', classified as a Super kart. It uses its design from ''Mario Kart 7'', making it the only kart originating in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' to not retain the item user's handlebar. The star decals return on the sides of the kart. It uses the [[Off-Road]] tires from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', slightly resembling its original tires (although a pre-release screenshot shows it with the [[Pipe Frame]]'s tires instead). The Barrel Train increases the duration of [[Rocket Start]] boosts and the amount of points earned upon performing a Rocket Start.

The [[Paris Tour (2019)|2019 Paris Tour]] introduced a gold variant of the vehicle, named the [[Gold Train]], which is classified as a High-End kart.

===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:BarrelTrain_MP8.jpg|thumb|The Barrel Train as seen in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'']]
The Barrel train appears in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' exclusively on [[Shy Guy's Perplex Express]].
The Barrel Train will appear whenever a player lands on a [[DK Space]], replacing the train's current engine, which could be either [[Shy Guy]]'s standard one or [[Bowser]]'s [[Bad-Breath Express]].  In Party mode, the first player who reaches the Barrel Train will be given a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] from DK for free. In Star Battle Arena, DK will double the player's [[Coin|coin]] total.

The Barrel Train will leave either after someone reaches it, or if somebody lands on a [[Bowser Space]]. If the player lands on a Bowser Space, the Bad-Breath Express will come, instead.

Notably, the Barrel Train was resigned, looking much more like an actual steam train.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Various items of the Barrel Train have appeared throughout the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there is a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of the Barrel Train that can be equipped to any fighter in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] to increase their leg attack power by 19 points. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', there is a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Donkey Kong in the ''Mario Kart 7'' incarnation of the Barrel Train. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', there is an Advanced-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] of a Barrel Train that takes up one support slot, and using it on a fighter boosts the power of their [[smashwiki:Dash attack|dash attacks]]. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the spirit appears in the badlands region on the east side of the [[smashwiki:Light Realm|Light Realm]] map, and the spirit's [[smashwiki:False character|puppet fighters]] are Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, fought on the [[Spirit Train]] stage.

|desc=This mean machine may look like it was meant for the tracks, but really it was made to soar. That fine wood finish isn't so great in the water, though. I bet more than a few players have fond memories of the Barrel Train and its first driver, Diddy Kong.
|desc2=This kart might look like it needs to be on rails, but it's actually great in mid-air. Like any barrel, though, it has a tendency to float. In a race that comes down to speed in water, it'll get left behind. The name "Barrel Train" might ring a bell for Mario Kart veterans – it was Diddy Kong's kart!
