Template:Kart-infobox The Flame Runner (known as Bowser Bike in the PAL regions) is a large-sized bike which appears in Mario Kart Wii from the Mario Kart series. As the PAL region name suggests, the bike resembles Bowser; the coloring of the bike even mirrors Bowser himself. No other vehicles in Mario Kart Wii bear physical resemblances to playable characters.

The kart counterpart for this bike is the Flame Flyer.

Statistics

Template:Mkwiistat The Flame Runner has great speed and weight, along with good drifting and mini-turbo. However, the bike suffers from the worst acceleration among all bikes in the game, and its handling and off-road are also rather low.
