The '''Shooting Star''' (known as the '''Twinkle Star''' in Japanese and British English) is a large [[Standard bike (vehicle class)|outside drifting]] [[bike]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It resembles a [[wikipedia:Scooter (motorcycle)|motorized scooter]], specifically a [[wikipedia:Suzuki Burgman|Suzuki Burgman]]. It has a [[Super Star|Star]] on the front, stars with comet trails on its sides and exhaust pipes, and a gray wing on the handlebars. The emblem is located on the very back of the bike. It is unlocked by winning the 100cc [[Star Cup]] or by playing 1,500 races. The Shooting Star is one of seven vehicles in ''Mario Kart Wii'' to go through a design change other than a palette-swap, the others being the [[Booster Seat]], [[Bit Bike]], [[Flame Runner]], [[Wario Bike]], [[Spear]], and [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]]. In this case, the stars on the sides of [[Rosalina]]'s Shooting Star are larger than on the other characters'. Also, hers has longer and flatter foot rests than the others do. In a similar manner, Bowser's and Dry Bowser's Shooting Stars have their handlebars positioned lower than the other Shooting Stars.


The '''Twinkle Star''' (known as the '''Shooting Star''' in North America) is a [[bike]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It can only be used by large characters. It has a [[star]] on the front and a comet trail on its sides and exhaust pipes. It must first be unlocked by winning the 100cc [[Star Cup]]. The Shooting Star's speed and weight stats are fairly good. It may very well be the successor to the [[Shooting Star (kart)|Shooting Star]] [[kart]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.
The Shooting Star's [[kart]] counterpart is the [[Honeycoupe]].


Although the Shooting Star has a good drift and mini-turbo, it drifts externally instead of internally (the [[Bullet Bike]], [[Mach Bike]], and [[Flame Runner]] have an internal drift), which can make it harder to control its drifting for some people, whereas making it easier for others.

The Shooting Star has good speed (which is tied with that of the [[Super Blooper (kart)|Super Blooper]]) and weight (tied with the [[B Dasher Mk. 2|Sprinter]]), along with great drift and [[Mini-Turbo]], which are tied with that of the [[Wild Wing]]. Its mini-turbo is also tied with the [[Booster Seat]]. It has the best drift and mini-turbo of any large class vehicle. On the other hand, its off-road, acceleration (tied with the [[Sneakster]], [[Mini Beast]], and [[Piranha Prowler]]), and handling stats are low, and it is the lightest large vehicle in the game.
 
The Shooting Star is also the only large vehicle to be lighter than a medium vehicle. In this case, it is lighter than the Wild Wing, a medium kart.
 
Although the Shooting Star has good drift and mini-turbo, it is a Drift type bike, which means it drifts outside. In fact, it has the highest speed and drift stat among all the bikes that drift outward as well as being the only outward drifting bike to be faster than all six standard karts and bikes.
 
Compared to the Flame Runner, the Shooting Star is slower and lighter, but does slightly better in every other stat. As opposed to inside drift, it has outside drift.


The kart counterpart for this bike is the [[Honeycoupe]].
If Waluigi rides the Shooting Star, it will tie with the Mini Beast's default drift stat. Also, if Donkey Kong, Rosalina, or a Large Mii rides the Shooting Star, it will tie with the [[Mach Bike]]'s default mini-turbo stat. In addition, if Wario or Dry Bowser ride the Shooting Star, its mini-turbo will exceed the Mini Beast's default mini-turbo stat by one point.

Appears in Mario Kart Wii

The Shooting Star (known as the Twinkle Star in Japanese and British English) is a large outside drifting bike that appears in Mario Kart Wii. It resembles a motorized scooter, specifically a Suzuki Burgman. It has a Star on the front, stars with comet trails on its sides and exhaust pipes, and a gray wing on the handlebars. The emblem is located on the very back of the bike. It is unlocked by winning the 100cc Star Cup or by playing 1,500 races. The Shooting Star is one of seven vehicles in Mario Kart Wii to go through a design change other than a palette-swap, the others being the Booster Seat, Bit Bike, Flame Runner, Wario Bike, Spear, and Phantom. In this case, the stars on the sides of Rosalina's Shooting Star are larger than on the other characters'. Also, hers has longer and flatter foot rests than the others do. In a similar manner, Bowser's and Dry Bowser's Shooting Stars have their handlebars positioned lower than the other Shooting Stars.

The Shooting Star's kart counterpart is the Honeycoupe.

Stats[edit]

Speed: 50/80
Weight: 48/80
Acceleration: 29/80
Handling: 32/80
Drift: 59/80
Off-Road: 27/80
Mini-Turbo: 59/80
Vehicle type:
Drift

The Shooting Star has good speed (which is tied with that of the Super Blooper) and weight (tied with the Sprinter), along with great drift and Mini-Turbo, which are tied with that of the Wild Wing. Its mini-turbo is also tied with the Booster Seat. It has the best drift and mini-turbo of any large class vehicle. On the other hand, its off-road, acceleration (tied with the Sneakster, Mini Beast, and Piranha Prowler), and handling stats are low, and it is the lightest large vehicle in the game.

The Shooting Star is also the only large vehicle to be lighter than a medium vehicle. In this case, it is lighter than the Wild Wing, a medium kart.

Although the Shooting Star has good drift and mini-turbo, it is a Drift type bike, which means it drifts outside. In fact, it has the highest speed and drift stat among all the bikes that drift outward as well as being the only outward drifting bike to be faster than all six standard karts and bikes.

Compared to the Flame Runner, the Shooting Star is slower and lighter, but does slightly better in every other stat. As opposed to inside drift, it has outside drift.

If Waluigi rides the Shooting Star, it will tie with the Mini Beast's default drift stat. Also, if Donkey Kong, Rosalina, or a Large Mii rides the Shooting Star, it will tie with the Mach Bike's default mini-turbo stat. In addition, if Wario or Dry Bowser ride the Shooting Star, its mini-turbo will exceed the Mini Beast's default mini-turbo stat by one point.
