Coming from the primarily Japanese game series of Taiko no Tatsujin (太鼓の達人), Don-chan (どんちゃん) is the Taiko-like main character of the rhythm-based series. But when the beat isn't calling, Don-chan crosses over to the Mario series, taking the wheel in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX. This default character is lacking of Speed but makes up for it with peak Handling and a nice drum solo.
