Trivia
- Its name is most likely a reference to the controls of the side-scrolling NES games - the player presses and holds the B button to dash. The B button in SNES was also responsible for acceleration in Super Mario Kart.
- In Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, Mario's original kart resembles a stylized form of the B Dasher.
- The B Dasher's tailpipe design seems to be the inspiration for the tailpipe designs of the Standard Karts S/M/L from Mario Kart Wii.
