Template:Kart-infobox The Wild Wing is a kart in the Mario Kart series. It resembles a tuner with an aerodynamic front, an automotive wing featuring feathery wings on the sides of the bar (hence the English name being a pun on automotive wings and biological wings), two pairs of dual exhaust pipes below the rear fender, and tires with five-spoke rims. The Wild Wing shows a two-stripe pattern running along the hood, and the emblem of the character is located on the sides of the kart and the rear. The P-Wing from Mario Kart 8 is the spiritual successor to this kart.
History
Mario Kart Wii
The Wild Wing first appears in Mario Kart Wii as a kart for medium-sized drivers. As its aerodynamic body might imply, the Wild Wing features great speed, drift and Mini-Turbo: it is the third fastest medium vehicle in the game, after the Sneakster and Sprinter. It is also the heaviest medium-sized vehicle in the game, making it nearly impossible to bounce away unless using large karts. However, its handling, acceleration and off-road stats are low, and it has the weakest acceleration of the medium vehicles.
The Wild Wing has the same off-road and handling stats as the Honeycoupe. Its acceleration is tied with the Jetsetter for third worst acceleration in the game, behind the Flame Runner and Flame Flyer. Its off-road is also tied with the Sneakster. Its drift is tied with the Shooting Star. It's mini-turbo is also tied with the Shooting Star and also the Booster Seat. It has the same weight stat as the Phantom. If Mario or Luigi ride on the Wild Wing, the kart's weight will be high enough to exceed the weight of the Jetsetter and all the large bikes (except the Wario Bike). Additionally, if Daisy uses the Wild Wing, the kart's top speed will exceed the Blue Falcon's and Flame Runner's default top speed by one point.
Its bike counterpart is the Mach Bike. The Wild Wing along with the Mini Beast and Flame Flyer all share the same engine sound, but the pitch varies with size class. The Wild Wing moves its wings when it gets a speed boost. It has the sound of a four-cylinder engine, and this sound is later recycled for the B Dasher and Bruiser in Mario Kart 7.

* - Bowser Jr. is the only driver whose color for the Wild Wing's exhaust system is not shared with any others. The Male Mii's exhaust system's color is shared with Mario, Peach, and Yoshi, while the Female Mii's exhaust system's color is shared with Luigi and Birdo. Daisy and Diddy Kong both share the color of the exhaust system that neither gender of the Miis use. This is due to Bowser Jr. having an achromatic color scheme.
** - Luigi and Yoshi are the only drivers to use an extra stripe as a tertiary color between the two secondary color stripes. All other drivers do not use an extra stripe, and instead have it part of the body's primary color.
*** - Daisy and Bowser Jr.'s tertiary color is used for the fenders while all other drivers have the fenders as part of the secondary color with the two stripes.
Mario Kart Tour
The Wild Wing returns in Mario Kart Tour, where it is classified as a High-End kart. It uses the Standard tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. However, unlike its Mario Kart Wii appearance, it only has Mario's color scheme no matter which driver is using it. The wings also no longer move. The Wild Wing extends the duration of speed boosts resulted from Dash Panels and raises the points earned for using a Dash Panel.
The game has three variants of this kart, a Union Jack-themed one called the Swift Jack, a black one called the Wild Black, and Peach's color scheme is used for a variant called the Wild Pink. All three variants are also classified as High-End karts.
Introduced to the game in the 2019 Winter Tour, the Wild Wing has appeared in the First Pipe and Second Pipe of each tour. However, it is not currently a part of the Daily Selects set. The table below lists other availabilities for the Wild Wing by tour.
