| The '''Dolphin Dasher''' is an unlockable medium [[Sport bike (vehicle class)|inside drifting]] [[bike]] in the game ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is unlocked by winning the [[Mario Kart (series)#Modes of play|Mirror]] [[Star Cup]] or by playing 3,750 races. The bike is based on the [[Dolphin]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Similar to the [[Flame Runner]], its general shape resembles a {{wp|Types of motorcycles|naked bike}}, specifically a {{wp|l=it|Moto Guzzi Griso}}. The character's emblem is shown only on the bike's belly. The tires on this bike feature a "wavy" design also found on the Cheep Charger and [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]]. The rims inside the tires have beach ball-like patterns. Coincidentally, these vehicles are all based on aquatic Mario series enemies.

|
| Its [[kart]] counterpart is the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]], which is slightly faster and lighter, making the Dolphin Dasher the only bike heavier than its kart counterpart. Its small counterpart is the [[Magikruiser]]. ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' feature karts similar to the Dolphin Dasher, dubbed the [[Turbo Dolphin]] and [[Dolphin Drifter]] respectively.

| | The '''Dolphin Dasher''' is a [[bike]] in the game ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It can only be used by middle-weight characters. It looks, as its name suggests, like a [[dolphin]], right down to having goggles, which would presumably be headlights. The character's emblem is on the bike's belly. |

|
| ==Stats==
| | The Dolphin Dasher has a good off-road stat, but unlike the [[Magikruiser]], it loses a little more speed when going off-road. |

|
| The Dolphin Dasher has a great off-road stat, which is tied with that of the [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]] and the [[Bit Bike]]. However, unlike the [[Magikruiser]], it loses some more speed when going off-road. Compared to the [[Zip Zip]], the Dolphin Dasher has more speed and weight, but has less acceleration, handling, drift, off-road, and mini-turbo. It is also noted for being the heaviest medium bike in the game. The Dolphin Dasher shares the same speed and handling stats as the [[Jet Bubble]]. The two vehicles also have the same mini-turbo stat.
| | This bike's stats are similar to that of the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]] kart. Ironically, the Dolphin Dasher is actually heavier than its kart counterpart, but is slightly slower. |
|
| |
|
| The internal stats reveal that the Dolphin Dasher has the second best turning capability while drifting among the medium bikes, only behind that of the [[Mach Bike]]. However, in the vehicle select menu, the Drift stat is based exclusively on the raw stat without applying the points bonus that is applied to all the other hang-on type bikes, resulting in this bike having a poor Drift stat even though in-game it has a relatively high turning capability while drifting. | | ==How to Unlock== |
| | The Dolphin Dasher can be unlocked by beating the [[Star Cup]] in Mirror Mode. |
|
| |
|
| The Dolphin Dasher also features the same weight as the [[Classic Dragster]], and the same speed, acceleration, and handling as the [[Standard Kart L]]. It also has the best off-road of all the medium hang-on type bikes, as well as the second best off-road of all the medium bikes and all the hang-on type bikes.
| | ==Stats== |
| | *Speed: Mid-high |
| | *Weight: Medium |
| | *Acceleration: Medium |
| | *Handling: Medium |
| | *Drift: Very Low |
| | *Off-Road: High |
| | *Mini-Turbo: Medium |
|
| |
|
| If Daisy rides the Dolphin Dasher, its speed will surpass the [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]]'s default speed stat by two points, and its mini-turbo will tie with the Phantom's default mini-turbo stat. Also, if Peach rides the Dolphin Dasher, its drift will exceed the [[Spear]]'s, [[Tiny Titan]]'s, and Zip Zip's default drift stat by one point.

| ''"If cute was a category, the Dolphin Dasher would be in the top spot. Instead, its Off-Road capabilities are really its best attribute. Just don't try to get too fancy with drifting—you might run into something or even roll 'er!"''
