The '''Gold Standard''' (known as the '''Gold Kart''' in the British English version) is a [[kart]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. As its name implies, the kart is a gold-painted version of the [[Standard Kart]]. In the console games, CPUs never use the Gold Standard, along with the [[Gold Tires]] and the [[Gold Glider]], making this kart player-exclusive. When the Gold Standard body is combined with the [[Gold Tires]] and [[Gold Glider]], they complete the whole Gold Standard kart.

The Gold Standard returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', where it has received a small detail change: instead of the character's emblem, the Gold Standard's logo is a number 8 from the game's logo with a wreath of olive leaves around it. This kart and the [[GLA]] are the only kart bodies that do not display the characters' emblems. It is unlocked in ''Mario Kart 8'' by getting a star rank or higher in every GP cup for every engine class, and in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' by getting a star rank or higher in every cup in Mirror Mode.

In ''Mario Kart 8'', the Gold Standard offers a strong boost in ground speed and a slight boost in weight, but slightly hinders acceleration and highly hinders traction. In terms of its hidden stats, it also boosts speed on every terrain, but hinders anti-gravity handling and mini-turbo. It shares its stats with the [[Mach 8]], [[Circuit Special]], [[Sports Coupe]], [[B Dasher]], and [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]] vehicle bodies. When all gold parts are combined, it boosts speed on all terrains (except water), along with weight, but hinders anti-gravity handling, acceleration, mini-turbo, and traction.

The Gold Standard returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', retaining much of its design from ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', but with the "8" emblem being replaced by the respective character's own emblem. It serves as a variant of the [[Red Standard 8]]. In the game's public release, the Gold Standard used to only be available in the [[Coin Rush (Mario Kart Tour)|Coin Rush]] mode as the sole drivable kart, being released for use outside of Coin Rush three years later in the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2022)|2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]]. In the [[List of Mario Kart Tour pre-release and unused content#Closed beta|Beta Test]], the kart was also available outside of Coin Rush. Unlike the Red Standard 8, it uses the [[Gold Tires]] from ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Also unlike the Red Standard 8, this kart increases the duration of [[Slipstream]] boosts and the number of points earned for performing a Slipstream.
