'''Bikes''' appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as vehicles used mainly in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], alongside [[kart]]s and [[All-Terrain Vehicle|ATV]]s. They come in many different styles and have features that set them apart from normal karts.

During the development of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', [[Hideki Konno]] presented the idea of putting bikes in the game.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20100113031058/http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/mariokart/vol1_page4.jsp|title=Iwata Asks - Mario Kart Wii|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=August 31, 2020}}</ref> The idea was rejected, because the concept of [[Mario]] riding a motorbike was doubtful, even though multiple characters including Mario were shown riding Motor Cross bicycles in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[The Great BMX Race]]". However, when ''Mario Kart Wii'' came around, they decided to put bikes in and call it ''Mario Kart X'', a name that got changed because ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was called ''Dairantō Smash Brothers X'' in Japan.

==History==
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''[[Mario Kart DS]]''====
While bikes do not appear as a class of vehicles in ''Mario Kart DS'', one of [[Waluigi]]'s special [[kart]]s, the [[Zipper (kart)|Zipper]], is a tricycle. Also, [[R.O.B.]]'s [[ROB-LGS]] has three wheels and therefore can also be considered a tricycle.

====''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''====
[[File:MKW Waluigi Bike Artwork.png|thumb|x170px|[[Waluigi]] on his [[Standard Bike L]]]]
Bikes first appear in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The game is the first ''Super Mario'' racing game in which the characters could race in a non-kart vehicle. [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Daisy]], and [[Rosalina]] wear jumpsuits if riding a bike, as it would be difficult to ride a bike while wearing a dress like when they are driving karts without having their trains (loose, hanging parts forming the backs of their skirts) getting caught in the wheels.

The basic model of the bike for all characters is the [[Standard Bike]], a motocross motorcycle showing the emblem of the character over the plate of the front and the sides of the rear. The color of a standard bike also changes, matching the character's custom color. These bikes are the only available to use in Battle modes along with the [[Standard Kart]]s. These bikes appear to be based on the bikes in [[wikipedia:Excitebike|Excitebike]].

The large bikes are given design differences, depending on which large-sized characters are using them. Except for the Standard Bike L, each large bike has three design differences.
*The default designs are used by [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[King Boo]], [[Funky Kong]], and the large-sized [[Mii]].
*The second designs, which are depicted having lower positioned exhaust pipes and/or repositioned handles, are used by [[Bowser]] and [[Dry Bowser]].
*The third designs, which are depicted having shorter handles, repositioned foot pedestals, and/or a thinner body, are used by [[Rosalina]].

Additionally, the [[Bit Bike]] has a design difference that's only seen when the player is using a small-sized Mii; the Bit Bike's exhaust pipes are positioned lower for the small-sized Miis, than for the other small-sized characters.

}}
All bikes differ from karts in many ways. While driving a bike, characters are able to perform [[wheelie]]s, which boost the player's speed temporarily. If a bike is rammed into while doing a wheelie, the player will lose speed and have to accelerate again. Also, bikes only emit blue sparks when [[drift]]ing and release a small mini-turbo, thus making them unable to emit yellow sparks for powerful mini-turbos. Statwise, bikes have slightly lower speed and much lower weight compared to karts, but excel in every other stat (acceleration, handling, drift, off-road and Mini-Turbo). Additionally, bikes have six [[trick]] variants while karts only have three.

In terms of gameplay, bikes are divided into [[Standard bike (vehicle class)|drift type (「ドリフトタイプ」) bikes]],<ref name="JapaneseDriftType">{{cite|language=ja|format=PDF|url=www.21010.net/club/bn/wii/rmcj/pdf/p014_015.pdf|title=Page 14 and 15 of the Nintendo Official Guidebook of ''Mario Kart Wii''|accessdate=April 27, 2018}}{{dead link}}</ref> that are able to drift and are commonly referred to as outside drifting bikes or outward drifting bikes, and [[Sport bike (vehicle class)|hang-on type (「ハングオンタイプ」) bikes]],<ref name="JapaneseDriftType"/> that commit to the turn instead of drifting and are commonly referred to as inside drifting bikes or inward drifting bikes due to their significantly different lines when they commit to the turn.

After their absence in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Bikes return in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' with the ability to go underwater, use gliders, and utilize anti-gravity. Also, in this installment, just like the karts, bikes are able to perform a [[Mini Turbo|Super Mini-Turbo]] and the bikers only perform wheelies during the boosts obtained via a Mushroom, a [[Dash Panel]], a [[Trick]], or a [[Rocket Start]], unlike in ''Mario Kart Wii''. As with karts, the bikes in this game can be customized with different bodies, wheels and gliders. Both drift type bikes, now known as '''[[Standard bike (vehicle class)#Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|standard bike]]s''', and hang-on type bikes, now known as '''[[Sport bike (vehicle class)#Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|sport bike]]s''', return and they again respectively drift or commit to the turn when the player attempts to drift with them.<ref>{{cite|author=Musa, Alexander|title=''Mario Kart 8'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=28|quote=There are actually two sub-categories of bike: standard and sport. Standard bikes drift similarly to every other body type. Sport bikes more or less commit to the turn during a drift, sharply cutting in the direction of the turn.|isbn=978-0-804-16328-6|date=May 30, 2014|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us}}</ref> Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina retain their alternate jumpsuits from ''Mario Kart Wii''. [[Pink Gold Peach]], [[Pauline]], and [[Peachette]] also wear jumpsuits while riding bikes.

====''[[Mario Kart World]]''====
{{new subject|section=y}}
Bikes return in the ''[[Mario Kart World]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch 2]]. Unlike previous games, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Rosalina]], and [[Pauline]] do not wear a jumpsuit when driving bikes by default, instead, they are costumes for them.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Peach creates a bike resembling the [[Mach Bike]] at the [[Donkey Kong Island|Jungle Kingdom]]. She uses it to traverse the [[secret passage]] and the [[Rainbow Road]]. After [[Mario]] and [[Donkey Kong]] are incapacitated by the [[Koopa General]]'s explosion, she uses her bike to return to the Mushroom Kingdom and warn the [[Toad (species)|Toads]] of [[Bowser]]'s arrival.
