Unlike past installments, the colors of the Pipe Frame are now shared with multiple characters, featuring 23 unique colors used among the 36 (41 in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'') characters (and of those, twelve of the colors are exclusive to one character, counting alternate colors for [[Yoshi]] and [[Shy Guy]], but excluding [[Mii]]s aside from the brown color). The eight characters from ''Mario Kart 64'' and ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' once again retain the same color as they were in the original games, while Koopa Troopa now retains the yellow color from his ''Super Mario Kart'' artwork, while Daisy and Waluigi retain their respective colors from ''Mario Kart DS''. All the [[Koopalings]] (except [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]]) have unique colored steering wheels for their karts, as opposed to the standard black. Also, all the Koopalings have unique colored engines, as opposed to the standard goldenrod, and their wheel hinges are uniquely colored, instead of the usual gray. The Inkling Girl's orange variation uses the yellow Pipe Frame, though the icon on the kart selection screen shows the orange Pipe Frame instead.

Like the [[Standard Kart#Mario Kart 8|Standard Kart]], [[Standard Bike#Mario Kart 8|Standard Bike]], and [[Standard ATV]], the Pipe Frame body is occasionally used by all the CPU-controlled characters. Most CPU racers will always pair the Pipe Frame with the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires, but Donkey Kong and Koopa Troopa occasionally also use the [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires instead. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', only a very few now use this body. CPU [[Toad]] is occasionally seen using this body equipped with the [[Slim (tire)|Slim]] tires; Toad, as well as [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Shy Guy]], also equip it with the [[Parafoil]]. The 150cc staff ghosts for [[SNES Donut Plains 3|Donut Plains 3]] and [[GBA Cheese Land|Cheese Land]] use [[Lakitu]] and [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] on the Pipe Frame with the [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires. The 200cc staff ghost for [[Bone-Dry Dunes]] in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' uses [[Dry Bones]] on the Pipe Frame with the [[Wood]] tires.

In ''Mario Kart 8'', the Pipe Frame gives a good boost in handling and a slight one in acceleration, but it hinders traction and slightly hinders weight. In terms of its hidden stats, it offers a good boost in sea and air handling, and slight boosts in sea and air speeds, anti-gravity handling and mini-turbo, while only slightly hindering anti-gravity speed. It shares its stats with the [[Wild Wiggler]], [[Standard Bike]], [[Flame Rider]], [[Varmint]], [[W 25 Silver Arrow]], and [[City Tripper]]. Overall, the Pipe Frame has the second highest stat total of any kart body, and the third highest among all vehicles.
