Gold Standard

The Gold Standard is (known as Gold Kart in Europe and Oceania) is an unlockable kart body in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8.

As its name implies, the kart is a gold-painted version of the respective kart games' Standard Kart. In both games, CPU players never use the Gold Standard, along with the Gold Tires and the Gold Gilder, making this body player-exclusive. When this body is combined with the Gold Tires and Gold Glider, they complete the whole Gold Standard kart.
