| }} | | '''The Duke''' is a [[bike]] body that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. It resembles a purple-colored snowmobile with yellow and blue highlights, regardless of which character riding it. It has a set of three headlights on the front, and the characters [[Emblem|emblem]] is shown on the side of the bike. The Duke glows in sync with the music, similar to the [[Badwagon]]. The Duke offers no advantages or disadvantages, making it the only bike body in ''Mario Kart 8'' with this feature. The Duke, also because of this, is the heaviest bike body in the game. The front of The Duke changes depending on the wheel: for example: the blue headlights disappear when [[Monster (tire)|Monster tires]] are used. |
| '''The Duke''' is an unlockable [[Standard bike (vehicle class)|standard]] [[bike]] body that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is a large scooter similar to the [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', with purple color regardless of which character riding it. It has a set of three headlights on the front, and the character's [[Emblem|emblem]] is shown on either side of the bike. The Duke glows in sync with the music, similarly to the [[Badwagon]]. It also looks very similar to the [[Purple Strike]] from ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''. | |

| It is the only bike body in ''Mario Kart 8'' that does not increase or decrease any stats with respect to the [[Standard Kart]]. When compared to all the other bike bodies, The Duke has the highest traction stat, and is tied with the [[Master Cycle]] for highest weight and lowest acceleration, but it also has the lowest handling of all bikes.

| The front and the back of The Duke change depending on the wheel: for example, the blue headlights and the back fender disappear when [[Monster (tire)|Monster]], [[Hot Monster]] or [[Cushion]] tires are used. It shares its stats with the [[Standard Kart]], [[Cat Cruiser]], [[300 SL Roadster]], [[Sneeker]], [[Prancer]], and [[Teddy Buggy]]. It also has a deep-sounding single-cylinder engine, which reflects the engine type usually common on large scooters. In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' a CPU [[Waluigi]] and [[Roy]] are occasionally seen using this body paired with the [[Monster (tire)|Monster tires]].
