'''''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''''' is a [[Genre#Racing|racing]] game developed and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] and a part of the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. It was released in November 2003 worldwide, being released in Japan first and later being rereleased as a [[Player's Choice]] title in Australia and New Zealand.<ref>Vuckovic, D. [https://www.vooks.net/mario-kart-double-dash-now-players-choice/amp/ Mario Kart Double Dash now Players Choice]. ''Vooks''. Retrieved January 9, 2022.</ref> The game, while retaining many aspects of the previous ''Mario Kart'' games, such as selecting a [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] character as the player's driver and the familiar item-based weaponry that the series employs, introduces a feature that is unique to this entry in the ''Mario Kart'' series: the two-person karts, hence the title of the game. Two characters handle a single kart, where one character steers and the other uses the items, and they can switch positions at any time if necessary. This is the only game in the franchise where two players can play cooperatively in one kart, with each player handling a single character, though the option to play in separate 2-person karts for each player is still available. In addition, the game introduces [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special Items]], items that are exclusive to a pair of characters. The game is one of the few games to take advantage of LAN Mode via the [[Nintendo GameCube Broadband Adapter]], which allows up to sixteen players to participate in a single race.

''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is the first ''Mario Kart'' game in the series to employ 3D graphics for characters and items, as opposed to ''Mario Kart 64'' using pre-rendered sprites to display these objects. The game also introduces a larger variety of karts to select from depending on the character combo's weight class rather than the standard go-kart being the sole vehicle all racers use, and this variety of vehicles has been retained in all the ''Mario Kart'' games since.

==New features==
==New features==
As with every new ''Mario Kart'' game, ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' shows several new features, granting a new style of playing for the users. Apart from that, there are two characters per kart; the number of playable characters was increased to join the race. As implied in various ''Mario'' series games, ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' contains many elements to unlock as well. By beating the cups available in every engine level, the player unveils other hidden levels, [[kart]]s, and other playable characters in the game. Furthermore, there is a very dynamic selection of karts: Every kart has specific stats that distinguishes from the others, as well as capturing their respective character's style; for instance, [[Mario]]'s kart, the [[Red Fire]]. In the first three games, there was only one kart that the players could use, which was what ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and games after this would eventually call the [[Pipe Frame]].

When breaking [[Item Box]]es, characters can receive any standard [[List of items|item]] or a [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special Item]], a new type of item unique to a specific pair of characters. Additionally, items dropped on the course, including Bananas, Shells, Mushrooms, and Stars, instantly affect the first kart that touches it. The effects of certain items have changed considerably as well.

This is also the first ''Mario Kart'' game to feature live-rendered 3D models for the characters and items, whereas in previous ''Mario Kart'' games, the characters and items are pre-rendered sprites.

However, more than the new point system, ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' also added important features that would become mainstays of the future ''Mario Kart'' titles. For example, before the start of every race, a short overview of the track, lasting a few seconds, shows all of the big features of the track, such as obstacles, scenery, and the characters at the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]]. Also, the countdown to the start of the race lasts for one second longer; in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the countdown is "3, 2, 1, START," while in the first three games, it is represented by two red lights followed by a green light.

Also, the countdown to the start of the race lasts for one second longer; in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the countdown is "3, 2, 1, START," (with the start signal being horizontal instead of vertical, its red lights turning on from left to right, and all lights turning green on "START") while in the first three games, it is represented by three lights and three counts (in ''Super Mario Kart'' and ''Mario Kart 64'', the first two lights are red, while the third light is green or blue, respectively, while in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', the first two lights are yellow and the third light is blue; the lights also turn on from top to bottom). Also, when the player crosses the finish line to begin the next lap, [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] will appear either on the left side or the right side of the player depending on the direction of the final turn of the course to the finish line, holding the lap count signs (if the race finishes with a left turn, Lakitu will appear on the right side of the player; if the race finishes with a right turn, Lakitu will appear on the left side of the player). Also, when the player goes into the last lap of the race, the background music increases its pitch by a semitone.

Because of the team mechanic, ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' includes 20 playable characters, with nine returning characters and 11 newcomers, the second most introduced in any ''Mario Kart'' game. The game also introduces [[Toadette]] to the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. This is the only ''Mario Kart'' game to feature more playable characters than it does race courses. Characters are divided into three classes depending on their weight: <font color=blue>Light</font>, <font color=green>Medium</font>, and <font color=red>Heavy</font>. There are eight default teams and two unlockable teams, a total of ten teams and twenty individual characters which can be combined in any way, giving 190 possible character combinations. Pressing {{button|gcn|L}} and {{button|gcn|R}} together before selecting any character chooses a random pair of characters and a random kart to play as. In multiplayer mode, it randomizes everyone's character and kart.

In addition to the playable drivers, numerous other ''Mario'' series characters play supporting roles in the game as well. [[Lakitu]] reprises his role as the referee, meaning that he signals the start of each and every race and battle with his starting lights, alerts players when they complete a lap around the course, tells the drivers when they're going in the wrong direction, waves the checkered flag to finish the race at the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]], and returns drivers to the track if they land themselves in a dangerous predicament (i.e. falling off the course). Other characters who make cameos include [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Cataquack]]s, and [[Dinosaur]]s. [[Toadsworth]] drives the winners of a cup around [[GCN Peach Beach|Peach Beach]] in the [[Parade Kart]]. [[Pianta]]s and [[Noki]]s from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' cheer the racers on in some courses and join them during the Award Ceremony.

In Grand Prix Mode, the player needs to win the cups against computer-controlled opponents. The difficulty level against CPU racers changes in each of the four engine classes, which are the following:
*'''50cc''' - Easy. The minimum top speed is low for all karts and CPU racers have a very limited selection of items. Any kart takes the 1st and 2nd place positions.
*'''50cc''' - Easy. The minimum top speed is low for all karts and CPU racers have a very limited selection of items. Any kart takes the 1st and 2nd place positions.
*'''100cc''' - Normal. The minimum top speed is fairly average, while CPU drivers have a wider selection of items: they may use [[Red Shell#Mario Kart series|Red Shells]] to shoot it to the player in front of them. Lightweight karts are almost never in the top positions (when controlled by CPU).
*'''100cc''' - Normal. The minimum top speed is fairly average, while CPU drivers have a wider selection of items: they may throw [[Red Shell#Mario Kart series|Red Shells]] at players. Lightweight karts are almost never in the top positions (when controlled by CPU).
*'''150cc''' - Hard. The minimum top speed in the karts is high, and CPU drivers have a wider selection of Items, most notably, the [[Spiny Shell]]'s addition. In this level, CPU drivers can take down players using the items against them. Additionally, all the characters race in mixed teams. CPU-controlled heavyweight karts usually take the top positions, with middleweight cars very rarely taking the top positions (when controlled by CPU).

CPU-controlled heavyweight karts usually take the top positions, with middleweight cars very rarely taking the top positions (when controlled by CPU). This engine class is not unlocked until players beat the All-Cup Tour in 150cc.

There are mainly four cups in Grand Prix mode, each one with four stages to race. These cups bear their difficulty levels as well as the race courses within. The most basic is Mushroom Cup with simple courses and few gimmicks. Special Cup, on the other hand, contains long and gimmicky race courses. All the race courses have three laps, except Baby Park, which has seven because of its short length, and Wario Colosseum, which has two because of its great length.

===Time Trial===
===Time Trial===
In Time Trial, a single player races courses over a set number of laps to record the fastest completion time. Before racing, adding the player's name entry registers their records available. When a race starts, the characters have two [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s in hand for speed boost. The best time elapsed in a lap and a race on a specific track is saved after completing the race. Once a race is completed on a course, the user is able to compete against either their [[Ghost (Mario Kart series)|Ghost]] from the current Ghost data or the Staff Ghost within the stage. Otherwise, if a race is failed, the Ghost data is not saved. The Ghost data recording can be disabled in the Options screen menu. Each Ghost save is worth five blocks on the GameCube [[Memory Card]].

[[Battle Mode]] is a traditional mode that has presented throughout all the ''Mario Kart'' games. Two to four players can compete against themselves using a variety of items (including all the special items) on the new battle arenas found in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''


In Battle Mode, it is possible to play in three sub-modes:

|align="left"|The classic battle style which consists of popping opponents' balloons to score, using the items from the Item Boxes. In ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the players can even "steal" balloons from their rivals, using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] to dash into them or hitting with a [[star]]. This new feature has been kept for future ''Mario Kart'' games. In Co-op play, the rear player can also take away opponents' balloons while doing a Slide Attack. Unlike ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', the players no longer transform into [[Mini Bomb Kart]]s or [[Bob-omb]]s after being taken out, and instead just vanish.

|align="left"|In Shine Thief, players must retrieve a [[Shine Sprite]] dropped on the course and keep it in hand until time runs out. On the other hand, players who did not retrieve the treasure can use items against whoever has the Shine to force them to drop it. If using a Mushroom, a Star or a Slide Attack (Co-op Play), a Shineless player can steal the Shine directly from its owner. The Battle mode [[Mario Kart DS#Shine Runners|Shine Runners]] from ''Mario Kart DS'' was based on this sub-mode.

Every character can hold up to five of these explosives, and can throw them forwards or drop them backwards. Any kart that makes contact with an opponent's bomb or gets blown up by the explosion loses stars. For two players, competitors need three stars to win the battle, while for three or four players, they need four.

Just as the characters are classified according to their weights, karts are split into three groups in size with some general characteristics:
*<font color=blue>'''Light:'''</font> Lightweight karts show a nice acceleration but poor top speed and low weight. They can be easily bumped away by heavier karts. They do not lose a lot of speed when they go off course.  
*<font color=blue>'''Light:'''</font> Lightweight karts show good acceleration but poor top speed and low weight. They can be easily bumped away by heavier karts. They do not lose a lot of speed when they go off course, but their turning is too wide.

*<font color=red>'''Heavy:'''</font> Heavyweight karts have the highest level of weight among the karts, capable of knocking away most light and some medium-weight vehicles/characters away. Many of these show high top speed, although their acceleration and off-road are fairly poor. They also have tighter turning.
Each combination of characters also determines the class of kart that is used for the race. The table to the top right means the resulting vehicle according to the size of the characters.
As shown from the image, each combination of characters also determines the class of kart that is used for the race. The Parade Kart, unlocked by completing All-Cup Tour in Mirror Mode, however, can be driven by any combination of characters.
An exception to this rule is the Parade Kart, which all the characters, regardless of weight, can drive. It is unlocked by completing All-Cup Tour in Mirror Mode.

Furthermore, there is a hidden Off-Road stat that determines a vehicle's top speed in most off-road terrains, such as grass. Weak off-road patches, like the yellow sand in [[GCN Dry Dry Desert|Dry Dry Desert]], reduce the kart's top speed by a fixed 20 units (~11 km/h, 8 mph). On the other hand, middle off-road patches, such as the grassy and sandy part where the [[Chain Chomp]] lies in [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]], reduce speed to a value dependent on the kart chosen. Finally, heavy Off-Road areas such as the reddish sand in ''Dry Dry Desert'' or underwater parts, slow down all karts to a fixed 40 units speed (23 km/h, 16 mph).<ref name="interpretation"/><br>
Furthermore, there is a hidden Off-Road stat that determines a vehicle's top speed in most off-road terrains, such as grass. Weak off-road patches, like the yellow sand in [[GCN Dry Dry Desert|Dry Dry Desert]], reduce the kart's top speed by a fixed 20 units (~11 km/h, 8 mph). On the other hand, middle off-road patches, such as the grassy and sandy part where the [[Chain Chomp]] lies in [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]], reduce speed to a value dependent on the kart chosen.

When shrunken by [[Lightning]], the top speed in normal roads and weak off-road sections goes down by 20 units, while the top speed in medium off-road sections goes down by 10 units. The top speed in heavy off-road sections stays unaltered.<ref name="data"/><br>

The kart that is picked is the one that belongs to the driver. If their respective kart has not been unlocked on one of the memory cards, then they use their respective partner's kart (e.g. Luigi uses Mario's kart). The exception is that if a small character is paired with a large character, then the large kart is used instead. This means that the Piranha Pipes, Boo Pipes, and Parade Kart cannot be used in LAN mode.

====Permanent upside-down car====
This glitch only works with the [[Parade Kart]]. To perform the glitch, the player should go to a place where they can get smashed by a course obstacle, such as the [[Thwomp]]s in [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart: Double Dash!!)|Bowser's Castle]] or the blue [[dinosaur]] in [[GCN Dino Dino Jungle|Dino Dino Jungle]] (Bowser's Castle is preferred because the Thwomps are stationary). This glitch best works for two players, as timing is needed. One player should drive underneath a Thwomp, while the other should receive an explosive power-up, either a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]] or a [[Bob-omb]]. When received, the player should fire the item at the correct moment, blasting the kart into the air and getting smashed under the floating Thwomp. After falling down, if done correctly, the player remains upside down. Note that the player is invincible in this position and the player can only revert to a normal position if [[Lightning]] strikes them and a Thwomp afterward.

*[[Mario Kart (series)|Later ''Mario Kart'' games]]: ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is known to have set the standards for later games in many ways. The 3-second countdown, which was introduced in this game, was reused in all later ''Mario Kart'' games. This is also the first game to have its final lap music one key note higher. This also marks the first time the player loses an item after falling off the course or being hit by certain items or obstacles. The [[Bob-omb]] item that was introduced as a [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special Item]] for [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]] in this game became a regular item in later games. The [[Chain Chomp]] item for [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] was re-worked into the [[Bullet Bill]] item.
