Cucumber

The Cucumber is a kart appearing in the Mario Kart series. It first appeared in Mario Kart DS.
== Description ==
In Mario Kart DS, the Cucumber takes the shape of its namesake, painted green with metal rails on the sides, and a brown seat for the driver. It has four large wheels with a yellow rim and red outline. There is also a circle with metal bars on the front of the kart, and the character's emblem is located on the hood.
In Mario Kart Tour, the Cucumber gains no major changes, besides extra detailing, although the seat is a dark tan color, and the kart uses the Off-Road tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
== In Mario Kart DS ==
The Cucumber first appears in this game as Yoshi's unlockable kart. It is unlocked by completing the Nitro Grand Prix cups in 100cc.
The Cucumber has great Acceleration, Handling and Items (stat), whilst Speed and Drift is slightly hindered. It has an average Weight boost. In terms of hidden stats, the Cucumber features good Off-Road speed and Mini-Turbo, only being weaker to the Egg 1 and Standard YS.
Once the Nitro Grand Prix cups in 100cc are completed, only Yoshi can use this kart. Once the 150cc Nitro or Retro Grand Prix cups are completed, Luigi and Dry Bones can use this kart. Once all cups in Mirror Mode have been completed, all characters can use this kart.
It is one of the few karts in the game that doesn’t share any of its stats with any other kart, apart from Items, which is shares with all other characters' heavier karts.
== In Mario Kart Tour ==
The Cucumber returns in Mario Kart Tour after 16 years of absence, debuting in the Berlin Tour.
