The '''Flame Runner''' (known as the '''Bowser Bike''' in the British English version) is a large [[Sport bike (vehicle class)|inside drifting]] [[bike]] which appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. As the British English name suggests, the bike resembles [[Bowser]]; the coloring of the bike even mirrors Bowser himself. Its general shape also resembles a {{wp|Types of motorcycles|naked bike}}, specifically an {{wp|Aprilia Tuono}}. The emblem is located on the sides of the bike. No other vehicles in ''Mario Kart Wii'' bear physical resemblances to its playable characters. The Japanese name of the bike, Super Bowser, uses Bowser's English name instead of using his Japanese name of Koopa. This was later used with the DLC [[Bone Rattler]] from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. | The '''Flame Runner''' (known as the '''Bowser Bike''' in the British English version) is a large Drift/Mini-Turbo type [[Sport bike (vehicle class)|inside drifting]] [[bike]] which appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

The Flame Runner has great speed with good weight, drifting and [[Mini-Turbo|mini-turbo]]. It is the third lightest large bike in the game, but it is also the second heaviest inside drifting bike in the game, only being lighter than the [[Spear]]. Its speed is tied with the [[Blue Falcon]], and it is the third fastest bike in the game, behind the [[Sneakster]] and the [[Spear]]. It is moderately heavy, having its weight tied with the [[Standard Bike L]]. However, the bike suffers from the worst acceleration among all bikes in the game, and its handling and off-road (tied with the [[B Dasher Mk. 2|Sprinter]]) are also rather low. | The Flame Runner has great speed with good weight, drifting and [[Mini-Turbo|mini-turbo]].

The Flame Runner is one of seven vehicles in ''Mario Kart Wii'' to go through a design change other than a color swap; the others being the [[Booster Seat]], [[Bit Bike]], [[Wario Bike]], [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]], [[Spear]], and [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]]. In this case, Bowser's and Dry Bowser's Flame Runners have their exhaust pipes positioned lower, and Rosalina's and | The Flame Runner is one of seven vehicles in ''Mario Kart Wii'' to go through a design change other than a color swap; the others being the [[Booster Seat]], [[Bit Bike]], [[Wario Bike]], [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]], [[Spear]], and [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]].

If Bowser rides the Flame Runner, its speed will become that of the Sneakster and Flame Flyer, its weight will become that of the Flame Flyer, [[Standard Kart L]], and [[Wario Bike]], and its drift will become that of the [[Classic Dragster]]. Similarly, if Funky Kong rides the Flame Runner, its speed will become that of the Sprinter, and its off-road will become that of the [[Wild Wing]], Blue Falcon, [[Honeycoupe]], and Sneakster. If [[Waluigi]] rides the Flame Runner, its acceleration will become that of the Spear and [[Mach Bike]], and its drift will become that of the Honeycoupe. | If Bowser rides the Flame Runner, its speed will become that of the Sneakster and Flame Flyer, its weight will become that of the Flame Flyer, [[Standard Kart L]], and [[Wario Bike]], and its drift will become that of the [[Classic Dragster]].

|''Now THIS is a monster of a bike! It was obviously designed with Bowser in mind, since they both weigh a ton and both have trouble accelerating. Once you get up to top speed, though, these two really come into their own! Incidentally, Bowser is known as Koopa in Japan, but the Japanese name for this bike is Super Bowser. How rare.'' | |||
