Mario Kart: Double Dash!! has a total of 21 karts to choose from. They rank in either Light, Medium, or Heavy class (excluding the Parade Kart, which is open to all characters) and are rated for speed, acceleration, and weight. Below is a guide to the karts and their ranks and ratings.

Heart Coach

The Heart Coach is good to use for tracks with long straightaways and tight curves. It is generally a good kart for staying up with the other racers.

Bloom Coach

The Bloom Coach is similar to the Heart Coach, only it is lighter and slightly faster. It works at top performance on a track with wide roads and curves that aren't too tight. It is nearly average in rating.

Goo-Goo Buggy

The Goo-Goo Buggy is a good kart for wide courses because they give the kart a good driving space. The reason it needs the space is because it is a very light kart and can easily be thrown off of narrow tracks by the heavy weights. Another thing to point out is that it has a very poor speed. The best thing, however, is that it has almost the best acceleration of any karts. To make it faster, have Baby Mario or Baby Luigi as part of the team manning it so their Chain Chomp will send it speeding!

Rattle Buggy

The Rattle Buggy is almost exactly like the Goo-Goo Buggy, only it has a better top speed. However, this makes its acceleration less as fast than the Goo-Goo Buggy. It has a very low weight equal to the Goo-Goo Buggy's, so use it on wide tracks. It also works fantastic with the Chain Chomp!

Toad Kart

The Toad Kart is a great kart for just about any track. It may have the same rating as the Rattle Buggy, but it has better stability on the track, making it harder to bump around. It has great acceleration to help it get back up to speed if it crashes.

Toadette Kart

The Toadette Kart has a better acceleration than the Toad Kart, which makes it better at recovering from an accident. It may be slower than the Toad Kart, but it functions just as well. It has good stability and doesn't go far after a bump from another heavier kart because of it. It is good to use on any track.

Koopa Dasher

The Koopa Dasher is a slower but quick-recovering kart. It has a great acceleration for trouble on the track and has an aerodynamic shell design Koopa and Paratroopa agreed on. It may be light, but it packs a strong punch on the field.

Barrel Train

The Barrel Train is good for any track. It has a fantastic top speed and enough weight to throw other racers around, but what's really special about it is that it's not just a kart, but a train! The only issue is getting this kart up to speed, so keep your Mushrooms handy!

Piranha Pipes

The Piranha Pipes is a kart that is fantastic for pushing around other racers. It works great on tracks with long, wide turns. The only drawback for speed and weight is its acceleration, which makes it pretty lousy on tracks with many sharp curves. However, a track with many boost pads remedies this.

Boo Pipes

The Boo Pipes is a reverse of the Piranha Pipes kart because it sacrifices speed for acceleration. Unlike the Piranha Pipes, the Boo Pipes is great at holding its own on a track with many curves. Because it has great acceleration, it can easily get back up to speed. It is also the same weight as the Piranha Pipes. The only issue is its low speed. Using it on a long track will help to gain a better lead over the other racers.
