Yoshi Bike

The Yoshi Bike is an unlockable bike body that appears in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. As its name suggests, the bike modeled after Yoshi with a pair of movable arms that usually extend when the racer uses the vehicle's glider. Yoshi eggs decorate the wheel's spindles. It has the same stats as the Sport Bike, Jet Bike, and Comet. As a result, it offers increased acceleration and handling, exchanged for lower weight and traction. The Yoshi Bike also performs inside drifting, instead of outside drifting. The bike is somewhat similar to the Turbo Yoshi, a kart from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! that is also modeled after Yoshi. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Baby Mario and Toad are occasionally seen using this body during races with the Monster and Crimson Slim tires, respectively.
