Barrel Train: Difference between revisions

{{about|the kart in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''|the full-sized engine with the same name|[[Barrel Train (Mario Party 8)]]}}

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.

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]]''.

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!
