Functions
Bikes differ from Karts in many ways. Wheelies, which boost the player's speed temporarily, can only be performed on bikes. However, when drifting on a bike, no yellow sparks will appear, and only a small turbo boost can be obtained.
It is possible to add a wheelie onto the power turbo at the start of the race. This gives the player a slightly faster boost for a short period of time.
