Despite not having a [[kart]] counterpart for its size class, this bike has a stat distribution similar to that of the heavyweight [[Piranha Prowler]] (its indirect size class counterpart), and its weight, acceleration, and drift stats are similar to those of the [[Blue Falcon]]. Coincidentally, this bike and the Piranha Prowler are the heaviest bike and kart in their respective size classes, while it and the Blue Falcon have the lowest mini-turbo stat in their size class.

The Jet Bubble is a fairly balanced bike; its two best stats are its speed and drift. Its weight is fairly low (tied with the [[Booster Seat]]), although it is the heaviest small bike in the game. If one of the baby characters drives it, the Jet Bubble will be heavier than both the [[Mini Beast]] and the [[Sugarscoot]].

This bike has a stat distribution similar to that of the heavyweight Piranha Prowler, and its weight, acceleration, and drift stats are similar to those of the Blue Falcon. Coincidentally, this bike and the Piranha Prowler are the heaviest bike and kart in their respective size classes, while it and the Blue Falcon have the lowest mini-turbo stat in their size class.
