Trivia
- The name "B Dasher" is most likely a reference to the controls of the side-scrolling NES and Game Boy games - the player presses and holds the B button to dash. The "Mk. 2" is a reference to Mario's DS Kart.
- The assumption that this is an improved version of Mario's B Dasher is supported by the fact that the B Dasher Mk. 2 resembles a modern Formula, whereas the B Dasher resembles an older type of Formula used between 1960 and 1980.
- When Mario Kart 7 was translated to Dutch, the North American name of this kart, the Sprinter, became the Dutch name of the Original B Dasher.
- The B Dasher Mk. 2 is the only medium-sized vehicle having speed surpassing that of the Flame Flyer.
- The B Dasher Mk. 2 is the only vehicle in Mario Kart Wii, which has a speed stat of higher than 60 that is used as a normal Time Trial staff ghost. In this case, it is used by Luigi on the Luigi Circuit course.
