| The '''Spear''' (known as '''Torpedo''' in the British English version) is a large-sized [[Sport bike (vehicle class)|inside drifting]] [[bike]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It resembles a [[wikipedia:Moto Guzzi V8|Moto Guzzi V8]] with stripes and exhaust pipes sticking out the sides. The character's emblem is located on the front and sides of the bike. The Spear 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]], [[Flame Runner]], [[Wario Bike]], [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]], and [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]]. In this case, Bowser's and Dry Bowser's Spears have their exhaust pipes positioned lower than the others, and Rosalina's and the female Mii's Spear feature shorter handlebars. | | The '''Spear''' (also known as '''Torpedo''' in the PAL regions) is a large-sized [[bike]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It looks similar to a [[wikipedia:Torpedo|torpedo]] or a [[Wikipedia: Blimp|blimp]] converted into a bike with an engine and exhaust pipes. The character's emblem is located on the front of the bike. It is also seen on both sides of it. |

| The Spear can be unlocked by unlocking twelve Expert Staff [[Ghost (Mario Kart series)|Ghost]]s in Time Trials or by playing 3,600 races. | | The [[kart]] counterpart for this bike is the [[Jetsetter]]. The Spear can be earned by unlocking 12 expert staff [[Ghost (Mario Kart)|ghost]]s. |

| The Spear is the fastest bike in the game, and it also has high weight (which is tied with the [[Jetsetter]]), but is actually the second-heaviest bike in the game, after the [[Wario Bike]]. However, all its other stats are quite low. It shares the same drift stat as the [[Zip Zip]] and the [[Tiny Titan]], but suffers from the worst handling, off-road, and [[Mini-Turbo]] among all bikes and its off-road is equivalent to the [[Flame Flyer]]'s off-road. As such, the Spear has the lowest stat total out of any bike in the game, only having 230 stat points. | | The Spear is the fastest bike in the game, and it also has good weight.

| The Spear is the second-fastest vehicle in the game, only behind the Jetsetter. It is also the heaviest inside-drifting bike in the game, allowing it to easily push around lighter vehicles and giving it the lowest jump angle out of any inside-drifting bike in the game. Inversely, it has the second-worst acceleration among all bikes, only being better than that of the [[Flame Runner]]'s, and it has the second worst handling, off-road, and mini-turbo in the game, only being better than those of the Jetsetter. While the visual graph shows the Spear with the same acceleration stat as the [[Mach Bike]], its [[Mario Kart Wii#Actual stats|internal data]] shows it actually accelerates more slowly. It also has the second worst drifting of the inward drifting bikes, only having better drift than the [[Dolphin Dasher]].

| [[Funky Kong]]'s Spear is the fastest vehicle in the game while performing a wheelie. Also, if [[Waluigi]] rides the Spear, its drift will exceed that of the [[Magikruiser]] by two points, and its acceleration will exceed that of the [[Mini Beast]], [[Piranha Prowler]], [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]], and [[Sneakster]] by one point.
