The '''Comet''' is an unlockable [[Sport bike (vehicle class)|sport]] [[bike]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. It resembles a [[wikipedia:Sport bike#Superbike|superbike]] with a turbine-shaped fairing. The emblem is located on the sides of the bike. It offers a handling and acceleration boost at the cost of weight and traction. It has inside drifting (like all the sport-type bikes), and shares its stats with the other non-DLC sport bikes, which includes the [[Sport Bike]], the [[Jet Bike]], and the [[Yoshi Bike]]. It is the only bike with a four-cylinder engine, and is one of the few vehicles in ''Mario Kart 8'' to have a {{wp|supercharger}}.
The '''Comet''' is an unlockable [[bike]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. It offers a handling and acceleration boost at the cost of weight and traction. It has inside drifting, and shares its stats with the other non-DLC inside-drifting bikes, which includes the [[Sport Bike]], the [[Jet Bike]], and the [[Yoshi Bike]].


A CPU-controlled [[Mario]] will occasionally use this bike body (paired alongside the [[Slim (tire)|Slim]] tires), making him the only non-DLC character to use this bike body as a CPU, as well as the only non-DLC CPU character to use a Sport Bike; the other CPUs (except [[Link]], who might use the [[Master Cycle]], and the [[Villager|Female Villager]] and also [[Isabelle]], who might use the [[City Tripper]]) will only use the [[Standard Bike]] whenever they are using bikes.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', it is available from the start. CPU Mario, Link and [[Pauline]] will occasionally use this body paired with the Slim tires, while CPU [[Pink Gold Peach]] uses the body paired with the [[Metal]] tires instead. Additionally, the Comet now shares its stats with the [[Yoshi Bike]], the [[Cat Cruiser]] and the [[Teddy Buggy]].

*The Comet is the only inside-drifting bike to not have built-in headlights, as the [[Sport Bike]] and [[Jet Bike]] have them built on their visors and the [[Yoshi Bike]] has them built on its cheeks.
*The Comet is one of few vehicles to be powered by a jet engine, with the other being the Jet Bike and the [[Mach 8]].
*The Comet is one of three vehicles in the game to be apparently powered by a jet engine , along with the Jet Bike and the Mach 8.
