The '''B Dasher''' is a [[kart]] in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It is a long, skinny, white kart with a red stripe along the front and a massive engine block with four large exhaust pipes. The emblem is located on the hood. It appears on the box art of ''Mario Kart DS'', and it resembles a classic 1960s Formula 1 car, specifically the {{iw|wikipedia|Honda RA272}}, the first Japanese car to win a Formula One race. It is the first vehicle in the series to have a racing car design, a feature that has become a staple in subsequent games. Its name is most likely a reference to the controls of the side-scrolling platform games, in which the player usually presses and holds the B button to [[dash]]. The {{button|snes|B}} button on the [[Super Famicom]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] is also used for acceleration in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''.

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', there is a kart called the [[B Dasher Mk. 2]] (Sprinter in its North American version, which is the B Dasher's Dutch name), which makes it the B Dasher's successor. The [[Circuit Special]] is another successor of the B Dasher, as it is called "Sprinter 2.0" in Dutch, and could possibly be a successor of the B Dasher Mk. 2 from ''Mario Kart Wii'' as well. The [[Zucchini]] is similar in design to the B Dasher, but with a very different paint job.

==History==
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart DS''====
[[File:MKDS Mario and B Dasher Cover Artwork.png|thumb|The B Dasher in its first appearance, ''Mario Kart DS'']]
The B Dasher is a kart in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It is [[Mario]]'s default signature kart. Like the [[Standard MR]], it is balanced in stats and has average speed, handling and drift, good acceleration, and high items and weight; it is one of the heaviest karts in the game. Its speed is tied with the [[Power Flower (kart)|Power Flower]]; its acceleration is tied with the [[Royale]]; its weight is tied with the [[Streamliner]]; and its handling and drift are tied with the [[Zipper (kart)|Zipper]]. In a minor note, despite its appearance would suggest, it has a weak-sounding two stroke engine, which is the same as Standard Kart. Any characters can use the B Dasher after all gold trophies in 150cc Mirror Mode have been obtained, though [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] and [[Waluigi]] can use this kart after the player has obtained all gold trophies in 150cc Nitro or Retro Grand Prix.

====''Mario Kart 7''====
[[File:MK7 B Dasher.png|thumb|120px|left|The B Dasher, as it appears in ''Mario Kart 7'']]
The B Dasher reappears in ''Mario Kart 7'' as an unlockable vehicle and is noticeably more powerful than in ''Mario Kart DS''. It features a speed and handling boost, but its acceleration and off-road stats are hindered during the process. In fact, the B Dasher is tied with the [[Blue Seven]] and [[Bolt Buggy]] for having the lowest acceleration of all kart bodies. However, it is tied with the Blue Seven, [[Bruiser]], and [[Zucchini]] for having the highest speed of all kart bodies and is the fastest kart body to have a positive handling boost and to not have a negative impact on the air speed stat, though it is also the fastest kart body of the four to affect off-road negatively.

It now has a four stroke engine with a large block in the back, resembling an {{wp|inline-four engine}}. The engine's sound is shared with the [[Mini Beast]], [[Wild Wing]], and [[Flame Flyer]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

Equipping the B Dasher with [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires makes it resemble the original ''Mario Kart DS'' version.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
[[File:B Dasher MK8 screenshot.jpg|256px|thumb|[[Yoshi (species)|Red Yoshi]], driving the B Dasher on {{classic-link|GBA|Mario Circuit}}]]
The B Dasher once again returns in ''Mario Kart 8'' as part of the first downloadable content pack, [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']]. It uses the same exact stats as the [[Mach 8]], [[Sports Coupe]], [[Circuit Special]], [[Gold Standard]], and [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]]. The design remains unchanged, aside from the engine being larger and more visible within the exhausts. Normally, it does not possess headlights, but it will gain headlights if racing on a track with dark areas, located between the front wheels and body. Its sound suggests that it is possibly powered by a four-cylinder engine. The B Dasher has a noticeable difference in that the exhaust noise is louder and more audible compared to others. It additionally shares the same engine sound with the P-Wing, resembling that of a DOHC {{wp|V8 engine}}.

In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', it is unlocked randomly by collecting [[coin]]s, and its stats have been altered so that it now only boosts speed, weight, and anti-gravity speed while hindering every single other stat. The acceleration, handling, and mini-turbo are worsened, while the traction is slightly better than before. The B Dasher now only shares its stats with the Circuit Special and P-Wing. A CPU [[Mario]] and [[Pauline]] are occasionally seen using this body paired with the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
The B Dasher returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' where it is classified as a High-End kart. It uses the [[Pipe Frame]]'s tires to match its appearance in ''Mario Kart DS''. The B Dasher increases the duration of [[Dash Panel]] boosts and the number of points earned for using Dash Panels. The game also introduces five variants named the [[Black B Dasher]], [[Kabuki Dasher]], [[Red B Dasher]], [[Black Kabuki Dasher]], and [[Gold B Dasher]]; all five karts share the High-End classification.

Since its introduction in the [[New York Tour]], the B Dasher has appeared in all regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe, and has been a part of the Daily Selects set. It has also been obtainable through other means, listed below by tour.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
The B Dasher is an Ace-class {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It uses its artwork from ''Mario Kart 7''. It takes up one support slot, increasing the power of its user's neutral special moves (for example, Mario's Fireball) when used. The [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]'s battle takes place on [[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Figure-8 Circuit]], where the player has to face off against a team of Marios who can deal damage by running into the player.
