The '''Zipper''' is [[Waluigi]]'s second standard [[kart]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It is a Chopper styled motorcycle. It has the Body Style similar to a bike and bares an appearance similar to the [[Waluigi Racer]] from ''[[Mario Kart Double Dash]]'', the [[Purple Strike]] from the ''Mario Kart Arcade'' Series, and [[The Duke]] from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. Many believed these karts were bikes, but since ''Mario Kart Wii'' was the first game to actually have bikes, they were considered karts. The kart is well-balanced. It is the first bike-like vehicle to appear in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series; however, ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' was the first game to have actual [[bike]]s. The Zipper has the same speed as the [[Shooting Star (kart)|Shooting Star]] and the [[Light Dancer]] and the same weight like the [[Streamliner]] and the [[ROB-LGS]].
The '''Zipper''' is [[Waluigi]]'s unlockable signature [[kart]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It is a three-wheeled kart resembling a chopper-styled motorcycle.

Appears in Mario Kart DS

The Zipper is Waluigi's unlockable signature kart from Mario Kart DS. It is a three-wheeled kart resembling a chopper-styled motorcycle. The emblem is located on the front of the kart. It is the first bike-like vehicle to appear in the Mario Kart series, though it is treated like a kart. The Zipper has the same speed as the Streamliner, the same handling and drift as the B Dasher, and the same weight as the Power Flower and Banisher. The Zipper is one of the two karts in the game to have only three wheels, with the other being the ROB-LGS.

Like the Shooting Star, the kart is unlocked for Toad and Wario as well when the player gets gold trophies in all Nitro or Retro Courses in 150cc, and becomes available for everyone else when gold trophies are obtained in every cup in 150cc Mirror Mode.
