Template:Kart-infobox The Flame Flyer is a large-sized kart that appears in Mario Kart Wii. Its bike counterpart is the Flame Runner.

This kart's appearance is similar to a 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge or a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda because it has six exhaust pipes (three on each side) and features an engine sticking out of its hood. The kart also features flame motifs and bears the Mario Kart trademark name on the tires.

Stats
